a question about image varification

glens1234 21 Mar, 2008
Hello again.

I noticed a section where you can turn image varification on.
Can someone tell me how this works?

I have turned it on although im not sure where this is supposed to appear.

Thanks.<br><br>Post edited by: glens1234, at: 2008/03/21 16:55

Hi glens1234,

You need to add {imageverification} in your form html where you want the verification block to show up.

cool!

i noticed that when i type in invalid letters, nothing happens. Is there i way i can validate this input in the same way i do with the other fields?

Cheers!

hi glens, see the verification field name and use it at the validation tabπŸ™‚

Hi.

After viewing the source code of the form in my browser i see the field is named "chrono_verification".

However i still dont know how to validate this field!
There doesnt appear to a be a validation tab for it!

Any suggestions?

Thanks.

Hi glens1234,

What are you trying to validate the field for?? It's required anyhow and if the string isn't valid then you'll get the usual error message.

Is this linked to your other post which is also a problem with imageverification?

hi.

when i fill out the form all the fields display an error msg if the they are not filled out correctly. If i dont fill out the image varification field properly nothing happens! no error msg!

Anyway i have decided to scrap the idea of using image varification as i couldnt get the page to validate ( using the w3c validator).

When i took out the {imagevarification} code it validated.

Anyway all is fine as far as this post is concerned.

Also, i dont remember posting a new thread about an image varification issue. I did however, start a post as i am getting an error message after form completion but i dont think that has anything to do with image varication.

I have so much going on a the mo i may have just forgot.

Anyway thanks for your help.

Same thing happening to me - if i fill out other fields on the form, but don't fill out the image verification - or dont fill it out properly, nothing happens.

Hi all,

The image verification field is PHP validated, the other validation is JS validation!!

Best regards,

hi.

Anyway i have decided to scrap the idea of using image varification as i couldnt get the page to validate ( using the w3c validator).

When i took out the {imagevarification} code it validated.


I got the image varification to validate via the w3c validator by changing the following in plugins/content/chronocontact.php

Find in line 125
$imver = '<input name="chrono_verification" type="text" style="vertical-align:top" id="chrono_verification" value="">

and change to
$imver = '<input name="chrono_verification" type="text" style="vertical-align:top" id="chrono_verification" value="" />


Find in line 129
.'components/com_chronocontact/chrono_verification.php?imtype='.$paramsvalues->imtype.'">';

and change to
.'components/com_chronocontact/chrono_verification.php?imtype='.$paramsvalues->imtype.'" alt="" />';


Hope this is of some help
