CAPTCHA errors

rkrizan

I installed CAPTCHA 0.2.0 and I get this error message: Notice: Undefined index: CAPTCHA_ON in /home/digital/public_html/extensions/CAPTCHA/default.php on line 27 any ideas? Also, I need a COPPA agreement of some sort, anyone know of an addon/extension or anyway to add a COPPA disclaimer to the registration process?

Check vanilla/conf/settings.php for $Configuration['CAPTCHA_ON'] if not, delete all the other $Configuration['CAPTCHA_* and reload vanilla.

Check again vanilla/conf/settings.php. If there is still no Configuration['CAPTCHA_ON'] check the permissions of on vanilla/conf/settings.php.

Alright, it took a lot of work on my own part, I had to do some SQL work as well. I have it installed, however, it wont load the CAPTCHA image, all it says is "Visual CAPTCHA". What can I do about this?

Dinoboff

Sorry, I forgot you had to delete a field in the database.

Do you have the GD 2.0.1 and the FreeType libraries intalled?

rkrizan

Not sure, I will have to check that out.

Dinoboff

Create a file with <?php phpinfo(INFO_MODULES);?>
Once you have checked if GD and FreeType are installed delete the file

rkrizan

Its showing me GD 2.0.28 with FreeType Support enabled.

try to access the image directly, go to http://yourdomain.com/vanilla/extensions/CAPTCHA/image.php

I fixed the first two errors, however, the third is still there.

Dinoboff

It's late here, I will look at it tomorow. the problem might be he can't find vanilla/conf/extensions.php from init_vanilla.php

Concerning a COPPA agreement, maybe the easiest thing would be to add this to the TermsOfServiceBody dictionary item in the definitions.php file. I would think that this should be there by default. However, if you want to add a separate confirmation that you have read the COPPA agreement, then that would be a different matter. Mark, what do you think?

Dinoboff

I've just uploaded the version 0.2.1

@ rkrizan: Let me know if it doesn't fix your problems.

I've uploaded the latest version and I'm still getting the following error..

Undefined index: CAPTCHA_ON in /home/chrisleg/public_html/forum/extensions/CAPTCHA/default.php on line 27

Update: After removing all of the $Configuration['CAPTCHA_* portions, like suggested, I get the following error and I am unable to access the forums at all...


Error Message
Could not Add the CaptchaDisableDescription field to the User table
Affected Elements
CAPTCHA Installer.OpenConnection();

The error occurred on or near: Duplicate column name 'CaptchaDisableDescription'

Dinoboff

which $Configuration['CAPTCHA_* were in vanilla/conf/settings.php?
You have to delete the CaptchaDisableDescription column in the user table

Dinoboff

I can't reproduce this error (tested om php 4.3.10 and php 5.1.4), so I just guess.

You can try the last version 0.2.1a (You still have to delete CaptchaDisableDescription from the user table first)

rkrizan

Well so far its working just fine, although it appears it cannot create the new data row in the user table. UserManager.CreateUser(); The error occurred on or near: Unknown column 'CaptchaDisableDescription' in 'field list'

rkrizan

Alright, I added the table myself. No big deal. Works great now, thanks.

Dinoboff

It is working for me.

Check that CaptchaDisableDescription is in the database (If you installed the extension manually or if the colomn hasn't been installed, the query is ALTER TABLE `LUM_User` ADD `CaptchaDisableDescription` TEXT;)
If it is there, check that CAPTCHA/conf/database.php look like that:<?php // Database tables and columns $Context->DatabaseColumns['User']['CaptchaDisableDescription'] = 'CaptchaDisableDescription'; ?>
You can try to had $DatabaseColumns['User']['CaptchaDisableDescription'] = 'CaptchaDisableDescription';
into vanilla/conf/database.php.

Chris Legend

Everything seems to be working fine now.

Thanks for all the help...
