It seems you have a javascript error in your template or in a third party extension.

I got a similar issue to that one baijianpeng got and have gone a bit further (see bellow).
But most important I want to thank ilhooq for taking this nice litle plugin from its former developper Quoc-Viet Nguyen, and port it under Joomla! 2.5. Merci !

Of course I did [choose Tincaptcha as default captcha plugin in global Joomla configuration], otherwise, it won't work at all. I did not hack any core file. [...] it show up the form, but the image not show up , instead, a red cross. When checking the URL of that image, it is:

Code: Select all

http://localhost/rt/plugins/captcha/tincaptcha/image.php 
I am testing this plugin on localhost server built with XAMPP.
I did as you told, and tried to open that URL, and got a blank page.
Well, I think I will give up now. Too busy on other things. Thank you.
I'm having a very similar issue on a production web site that is online, Joomla! 2.5.9, PHP 5.3.
It's all just like baijianpeng except "Captcha Code" shows up in place of a red cross.
Pointing the browser to http://that.domain.ltd/plugins/captcha/ ... /image.php gave a

Code: Select all

403 /new/plugins/captcha/tincaptcha/image.php
Interdit - Forbidden 
So I went to the .htaccess (which is protecting most sensitive files and directories), made sure _this_ file had direct access allowed, and tried again: same 403 Error.
Then I also allowed direct access to the tincaptcha/fonts/ directory, with no change.
Are there other files/directories needing direct access beside tincaptcha/image.php ? And if so please which one?

ps @baijianpeng (zhong wen pinyin): wo ye bu xi huan ReCaptcha! (i.e. what he said about ReCaptcha is just what I feel)

Did you try to remove or deactivate .htaccess to see if you can access the directory "/new/plugins/captcha/tincaptcha/" without this file ?

Hi,
Err nope, though it's on my todo list as soon as i get my hand on the web site testing version. Note that a bunch of plugins (too much actually :~/) including watermark and other too complicated captchas do work fine on the production site.
Am using sitebrain atm and it adds various, heavy scripts to the pages.

I managed to make tinCaptcha 2.0 function!

How to install tinCaptcha and configure Jommla on order to make it work is here in very short words.
http://joomlacode.org/gf/project/tincaptcha

Below a more detalied description.

1. I downloaded tinCaptcha version 2.0 from here
http://joomlacode.org/gf/project/tincaptcha/frs/

Before I had checked that the server had GD support, although I do not think it is necessary because the tinCaptcha plugin seems to check this at installation.
http://www.dagondesign.com/files/gd-test.txt
http://www.dagondesign.com/articles/che ... ur-server/

2. I installed the plugin in the extension manager by file upload.
Joomla Adminstration->Extensions->Extension Manager->Install: Upload Package File

3. I activaded the tinCaptcha plug in in the Plugin Manager
Joomla Adminstration->Extensions->Plug-in Manager: In the list "Captcha - Tincaptcha" the plugin is enabled by clicking on the status icon.

4. In the Joomla Adminstrator interface for my site I went to Global configuration, where I selected Tincaptcha as "Default Captcha".
Joomla Adminstration->Site->Global Configuration->Site select Tincaptcha as "Default Captcha"

Now, in tinCatpcha appears in the contact form!

Settings of the plugin can be changed by clicing on "Captcha - Tincaptcha" in the list in the Plug-in Manager. One can change things like for example word length, font size, text color, background color, max attempt number and waiting time.
Joomla Adminstration->Extensions->Plug-in Manager: Click on "Captcha - Tincaptcha in the list"

How to add languages to tinCaptcha

At the present (version 2.0) there are three languages in tinCaptcha. French, English and Vietnamese. It is fairly easy to add ones own language. In the installation files of the plugin there is a catalogue with the name "languages" within that catalogue there are language-files with translations within the sub-catalogues. Example in "en-GB".

I added Swedish by creating a catalogue "sv-SE" and then coping the files from the English version. Then I renamed the prefixes of the files accordingly. I only translated the front end text, wich makes the work minimal. Only the following few lines were translated into Swedish as follows:

Code: Select all

PLG_TINCAPTCHA_ENTER_THE_CODE="Var god att ange koden i bilden ovan : "
PLG_TINCAPTCHA_REQUIRED="Du m&aring;ste ange en konfirmationskod.<br />"
PLG_TINCAPTCHA_WRONG="Konfirmationskoden var fel. Var god f&ouml;rs&ouml;k igen.<br />"
PLG_TINCAPTCHA_MAX_ATTEMPTS="Du har &ouml;verskridit maximalt antal f&ouml;rs&ouml;k för denna sessionen. Var god att f&ouml;rs&ouml;k igen efter %s sekunder.<br />"
PLG_TINCAPTCHA_REFRESH_TITLE="Klicka f&ouml;r att uppdatera bilden."
PLG_TINCAPTCHA_REFRESH_ALT="Uppdatera bilden"
These files are basically found here in a live installation:
/joomla/plugins/captcha/tincaptcha/language

Is anyone using this plugin for VirtueMart forms? If so, we could use some guidance.
