captcha - refresh image

tiatieko 19 Dec, 2013
Hello,

I´m using Chronoform 4.0/Joomla 1.5 and the location of refresh image is:
administrator/components/com_chronoforms/form_actions/load_captcha/refresh.png

That caused some problems because my folder /administrator is protected by apache...

I changed the location of the image and was right, but I think it would be good to change in later releases.

Thanks.

Hello

Same Problem in CF5. The refresh image gets loaded from the administrator directory:
<img src="http://[mydomain]/administrator/components/com_chronoforms5/chronoforms/actions/load_captcha/refresh.png"

Since I protect /administrator with .htaccess, loading the form in the frontend brings up the login-form.

In my opinion this is a bug.

The captcha refresh button should get loaded from the media directory.

@Max and Bob
Will you fix this? 😉

Thank you!

Hi Patrick,

I doubt that this will get fixed in CFv4. The simplest solution is probably for you to add an .htaccess file to the image folder to block the login request.

Hi Bob

I'm using CF5, I don't expect to get it fixed in CF4 :-)

Adding another .htaccess file to the image folder inside /administrator would not help, because the folder administrator needs to be passed by first and this requires the login process.

I don't think it's possible to bypass a protected folder first to reach a subfolder inside there after...(?)
