Bigo Captcha

[bigodines]

Hey,

I have tried to install bigo captcha but it seems it won't display for me..
I have also installed "OSTWigits-Captcha" and that one does work right away.

But i like BIGO more..

Someone knows what goes wrong?
Do i need to CHMOD a folder or something?

Thanx,
Sonny

did u get any error? did u remember to publish the the bigo captcha plugin?

I tried using it with the com_contact patch and with the yvComments plugin/component.. Both don't work..

I was having issues with the pictures not appearing (got the little "red X of death" in IE), but I didn't have GD support enabled for Apache/PHP. Once this was taken care of, the captcha worked fine. You may have already checked your server config, but it's worth mentioning.

GD is enabled indeed. So that's not it. But thanks anyway.

Nice Captcha. Also I use the community Builder 1.1 and it has some problems for installing CbCapcha. Is it possible make your captcha suitable for community builder ?
Thx

[bigmantana]

I have a technical question. At first I am not a PhP programmer but I am learning it with Joomla.
As I see in the controller.php where you defined displaycaptcha function it is not joined to $task global variables. As I see the $tasks are 'category' and 'contact'. So how it can accepted as <img src="index.php?option=com_contact&task=displaycaptcha/> codes?
thx

[bart_c]

First of all, I know this may sound like an odd question, but are you using Joomla! 1.5?

I have attached my modified J! 1.5 files so you can try using these and let me know.

Enable BigoCaptch in 1.5, backup your original

components/com_user/controller.php
components/com_user/views/register/tmpl/default.php

Extract the attached zip and manually replace the files on your server with the ones within.

Let me know how you go.

Dan

I go fantastic!
Thank you & Bigodines! ... A LOT!

Two days after the site went live, i was FLOODED by spam registration.
This will stop now

I combined the CAPTCHA registration with the acceptance of the general conditions

[amarvarmajoomla]

I want to display the captcha image in the registration page i pasted the below code in the controller.php

function displaycaptcha() {

global $mainframe;



$contactId = JRequest::getVar('contact_id', 0, '', 'int');

$Ok = null;

$mainframe->triggerEvent('onCaptcha_Display', array($Ok));

if (!$Ok) {

echo "<br/>Error displaying Captcha<br/>";

}

}



function _checkCaptcha() {

global $mainframe;



// load the contact details

$return = false;



$word = JRequest::getVar('word', false, '', 'CMD');

$mainframe->triggerEvent('onCaptcha_confirm', array($word, &$return));

if ($return) {

return true;

} else return false;

}
and in the default.php i pasted this

<tr>
<td >
<label id="pw2msg" for="password2">
<img src="index.php?option=com_user&task=displaycaptcha">
</label>
</td>
<td>
<input type="text" name="word" id="word"/> *
</td>
</tr>

Still i am getting problem
Error displaying Captcha
Help me to display the captcha image in the registration form

Hello

I have recently uploaded Bigo Captcha , but have been unable to see it on my registration page. I also have community builder, yvcomment and fireboard.

I tried to change these files, components/com_user/views/register/tmpl/default.php and /components/com_user/controller.php, to no avail. I also downloaded the two files and replaced them but I still don't see anything. I really love this component, but I don't know how to make it work Thank you for help in advance.

P.S. I have published Bigo

Hello

BigoCaptcha don't work on a fai server web. It work only on a local server web.

The problem: the image don't display on the fai server web.

Have you any idea where is the problem ?

[bigodines]

which image library do you have enabled in your server?

[believe]

How can I make this captcha show on community builder registration page?
This is how I changed controller in the user folder. Believe!

I'm sorry guys.. I won't give support on "how do I hack <insert your favorite component here> to use Bigo Captcha". This is a support thread for Bigo Captcha and I've provided a sample patch for com_contact which can be used by any developer to hack other components....

Feature suggestions and bug reports are always welcome.

Sorry about that. I have downloaded the contact patch, where should I place this file? I will try to go from there. btw what is the link for yvcomment source-code? thank you again for your time

[bigodines]

@believe:

for instructions on how to apply the patch to com_contact, check this blog post:
http://www.joomla.com.br/blog/2008/01/2 ... component/

@mickey anything in the error logs? did u make sure you've enabled bigo captcha, did you check permissions and configurations? can I take a look at your live site?

-bigo

[Mickey974]

anything in the error logs?

anything. My folder (logs) is empty.

did u make sure you've enabled bigo captcha, did you check permissions and configurations?

System - BigoCaptcha is activated (green quote) and its access level is public. All my folder are in writable mode.
Your plugin works with yvComment. It's activated in yvComment's parameters.

can I take a look at your live site?

Of Course
My site

Best regards

[bigodines]

your host has safe_mode enabled. that's the problem.

<b>Warning</b>: set_time_limit() [<a href='function.set-time-limit'>function.set-time-limit</a>]: Cannot set time limit in safe mode in <b>/mnt/166/sdb/8/a/shamballa2/plugins/system/Captcha04/CaptchaImage.php</b> on line <b>371</b><br />

this should be in the error logs disable safe_mode and everything should work.

Hello,
I have manually changed the controller class and default.php files, but I am receiving this message

Fatal error: Call to undefined method JRequest::checktoken() in C:\wamp\www\Joomla-1.5RC4\administrator\components\com_contact\admin.contact.php on line 251

any ideas on what I did wrong?

[bigodines]

did you change the controller from the frontend of com_contact? it looks like you are hacking administrator/com_contact...

[believe]

I opened the patch files, went to com_user, contoller, deleted controller replaced with the new one. I did the same for default.php. I did open both files after. Maybe I hit a button and screwed up the syntax. I will try to delete the files without opening and see if I receive the same message. Wish me Bigo Captcha luck

[Mickey974]

Yes. How i put safe_mode disabled ?

[bigodines]

ask your host company to do that for you

Hello,
I replaced the files, but when I try to make a contact page where captcha is shown, I keep getting this same error. I did not open any files. do you think I should replace the admin.contact form? This is the error. I am receiving.

Fatal error: Call to undefined method JRequest::checktoken() in C:\wamp\www\Joomla-1.5RC4\administrator\components\com_contact\admin.contact.php on line 251

P.S. how do you make the captcha active on the registration page? This is where I really need it.

[Mickey974]

ask your host company to do that for you

My FAI provides a free service and don't modify the safe_mode's parameter. It's a recurent problem for this FAI (http://www.free.fr : it's my FAI), and many subscribers of this FAI have already asked it to modify this parameter. The answer is : NO.

Well, how i used your component ?
Is it possible to create an random's image folder and use them with your component?
In any case, thanks for your help Bigo

[Mickey974]

hello bigo

I have a solution, but i don't know how get the value of this line : $STR = md5_decrypt ( $UID [ 1 ] ); in the CaptchaImage.php file

I need the value of this variable $STR in the default.php of yvComment's component. Is it possible to get this value in this file ?

Thanks for your answer

same problem here? have you found a solutian for that?

[believe]

The response I received was that I probably did something wrong within the admin.contact document. I checked it but could not figure out what the problem was. I really want to figure out how to make this captcha work. Sorry I couldn't have been more help. If you should find out how to make this work, let me know. Wanda
