[SOLVED] Captcha and V4_RC3.4.1_J1.5

Phil91 13 Jun, 2012
Hi Bob,

Installed the new V4 version on my Joomla 1.5 install (still 1.5, yes...)
Will upgrade tentatively to 2.5 later this year but am currently running into a captcha question:

captcha displays ok BUT the first attempt to enter the code always fails and I am SURE that I'm typing the right code. Once the form is redisplayed, I enter the new code and this one ALWAYS work....

Am I missing anything here, or is this some kind of "uncommented feature"?πŸ˜€

Can you pls let me know where to look for a fix? Can send you the link to the form if need be.

Thx and kenavo

Hi Philippe,

It's not a feature and not a common problem. It sounds as though there is something odd with the page caching - but I can't think what.

Please drag a Debugger action into the On Submit event, then submit the form and check if the correct Captcha value is being submitted - it should be.

Thanks Bob,

Will try this this evening and I'll let you know...
BTW: I was kidding about the "uncommented feature"...I hope you understood itπŸ˜€

Cheers

Hi Phillippe,

I understand - but other readers might not.

Hi Bob,

Tried the debugger option from home as you said and form was submitted successfully the first time...
It failed on my work laptop. I guess you're right and it's got to do with some weird caching issue...Will investigate this later but in any case, this is solved and pls accept my apologies for inconvenience.. 😟

Cheers

Philippe
