I have this module working but if I enter the wrong captcha text, my already filled out fields are erased and I get a prompt saying I entered the wrong captcha information. Could someone please post some steps on how to retain the information entered into the fields so the user is not discouraged by having to reenter their message and the other fields? I am using this for com_contact. Thanks.

I had a major problem with the CAPTCHA image NOT displaying only in the contact page. It was showing on the registration page which told me that the plugin itself was working fine.

Moreover, everything was working fine on my localhost! Even the contacts image. Now, what was the problem? I searched, scratched my head etc etc and then did some experiments with the live site - www.pdatomorrow.com.

It's now SOLVED! :D

The issue was caused by SH404SEF. All I had to do was to disable the SEF URL for the contacts page.

Attachment:
sh404.PNG


Now, SEF URLs are there for all pages except the Contacts page, which is fine with me, I really did not need SEF for the contact page, but definitely needed the captcha.

Thanks Bigo, for a very neat plugin. Hope you will be able to fix this issue too, for the benefit of those who need SEF URLs for their contacts page too...

Best wishes.

EDIT: Attached the composite patch file that I have used. Patches Registration and Contact forms, and adds a nice "Spambuster" image near the captcha image too. Credits to Bigo and original patchers... I only added the image and changed the layout.
DEMO: Registration, Contact

As a noob to Joomla and captcha i was wondering if there is a patch to allow bigocaptcha to save the already typed information when an incorrect code is entered. I would be nice to not have the people retype the message evrytime they get the code wrong.

PS. I love the plugin even more now that I worked out how to change the colors :D

Thanks for your help

I have been asked how I changed the colour of the animated captcha and as I can't see anyone else has posted this info here it is.

Two lines in the CaptchaImage.php need to be changed:

1 In the animatedout function change the line: $bg = Array ( r=>134, g=>170, b=>191 );
This line is the main background colour that the flag is rendered on.
If you have a white background change this to: $bg = Array ( r=>255, g=>255, b=>255 );

2. At the bottom of the file look for this line: $bg = ImageColorAllocate( $im, 0, 0, 0 );
As you can see I have changed the three numbers(r,g,b) all to 0 to give me a black flag
The next line: $fg = ImageColorAllocate( $im, 255, 255, 255 ); changes the colour of the rendered text. (currently white)

Hope this helps.

I would also like to use it on the registration component. Do the instructions above for adding it to the com_contact component also apply to the registration one?

You might want to look into this new thing called Jollum, a Joomla plugin for Mollum , it's pretty new, but I tested it on the sample sites and it works pretty well!

Hi everyone! I have read through all of this thread and am still unable to fix this.

I am trying to get this extension work on Joomla 1.5, for the registrations module.

I have installed Bigo Captcha plugin and I have enabled it. Then I substituted the two files that I downloaded in the archive from this thread. The problem that I have is that the Captcha image is not showing (and neither is a field for entering the code). When I click "register" button I get message "You have entered the wrong CAPTCHA sequence. Please try again." So... something is working. But something isn't. Does anyone know what is going on? If yes, please help me to resolve this, because I am on the verge of giving up with this whole Joomla 1.5 thing... :-[

Did you use the package I have attached in the post above?

It works right out of the box. Nowadays, whenever I make a new installation of J!1.5, I also extract this package on the installation as it fixes both the contact and registration components to use captcha...

Thank you for taking time to help. I have worked out what was wrong with my registration captcha - I have changed the template at the beginning, and it was not showing captcha. Once I have changed back to the original template, I could see the captcha image, animated and all. The cute "spambuster" is still missing (just the word shows but no image) but I will work that one out somehow. Then adjust my template / css and hopefully will be sorted.

Am so grateful for all of the members' posts and help that all of you provided here! :D

I love BigoCaptcha very much. I think the Joomla! team should add this one to the Joomla Core code.

However, today I tested it with the patch provided at http://www.bigodines.com/files/contact_patch.tar.gz and failed.

I am using Joomla! 1.5.3, then I installed BigoCaptcha v1.2 and enabled it. Next, I downloaded this patch and unzipped it to overwrote my existing files.

Now, I try to visit the contact page at frontend, but did not see the captcha image. Instead, I got some error messages.

Maybe this patch is only for old version of Joomla! 1.5 ?

Okay I am using Bigo Captcha on my yvcomments and it works great. Now I want to use it on the registration page. I tried downloading Jeff's patches but they didn't work for me (I don't see the captcha image and if you try to register it tells you you've entered an incorrect code) so now I'm going to try to use MoonRay's patch. Thing is I am using J1.5.0 --I guess I need to upgrade anyway but MoonRay, can you tell me if your patch would work on my slightly older version?

I noticed that the latest file in the patch was modified on Jan 23rd 2008, Joomla! 1.5.3 was not released at that time. Do you mean files for com_contact have not been altered since then ?

Hello,

Just for information and comment.

My future website is with the french FAI free.fr, and I had this issue with the image not showing (the safemode parameter ?)

I found a solution : the problem was the function Set_Time_Limit not accepted by Free.fr
I just invalidate the line in the file CaptchaImage.php with an @ at the begining of the line and I got the plugin working.

Is there an potential issue doing this change ?

Thanks Bigodines for this nice plugin.

Regards.
Patrick

for yvComment, no changes are required. Just install, publish and enable captcha in yv's configuration.

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?


Hello, I am using BigoCaptcha working toghether with yvComment in a Server which has Safe Mode On. I had the same problem that some other users reported: I could not see the captcha image. I solved it very easily and without any drawback (I think).

Just edit the file on your hosting "/plugins/system/Captcha04/CaptchaImage.php".
Go to the line 371:"Set_Time_Limit ( 0 );" and remove or comment it (//Set_Time_Limit ( 0 );)

I think that is no need to set an infinite time limit as we can rely on the time limit defined by the hosting server.

That's all now my Bigo Captcha is working fine. I hope this helps, let me know your feedback, thank you for this component and for the support effort.

Regards.

Hi!

I upgraded J to v.1.5.5, I have had also installed SEF404 and no problems running BigoCaptcha.
I include modified PHP files in the attachment.

Take a look at this post earlier in this topic, it worked as described...http://forum.joomla.org/viewtopic.php?f=46&t=234509&p=1282298#p1265732. I had it up and running in a matter of minutes.

Just remember to install and activate the bigocaptcha plugin prior to replacing the specified files in the patch.
