Email and imageverification question

Bod,

I am quite new to this but I looked in the forum and couldn't find the answers to the questions:

1. I want to have multiple emails (which I can do if a type the email); If I want to put the html name for a field, does it need specific formating. for the moment: [email]ddd@hotmail.com[/email],textfield_email does not seem to work.

2. I can get the {imageverification} tag to work on my local machine but not on the server. I don't know what GD is in one of your answers to a similar problem:
"Do you have GD installed in your PHP - check the System | System Info | PHP Info tab in Joomla?"
I can see anything hat says GD but I am not sure what I am looking for or how to install it.

Thanks.

Hi Roger,

Answering Q2 first GD is a graphics extension for PHP that is needed to create the images for the image verifier. If it's not installed on your PHP installation and you have control over it then you can un-comment the extension in php.ini and re-start PHP to install it which is what I had to do on my local install.

Beyond that it's a bit out of our remit here but Googling PHP+GD should give you plenty of info.

I've attached a copy of the PHPinfo entry from my intall.

Hi Roger,

Q1: you can't mix email addresses and e-mail field names. Try putting e-mails into the 'Email Address(es)' field and field names(s) into the 'Email field' field on the General tab. (I'm not sure that you can use more than one field name here but it could be made to work.)

Thanks for that Bob.
It did the trick
