@Superdave and everybody else who has issues and asks for help:

Don't even bother to post here if you're not going to post a link to your gallery and a non-admin test user account. Just posting "I have issues" is not helpfull.

fair point mate!! sorry.

ok ... here's my site: http://www.super-dave.com (it opens to the coppermine gallery)

i'm using V1.7 of the captcha comment plugin (found in the first thread). i've got a few other plugins installed, but i've not modified the script. my version of coppermine is up to date.

i can't seem to get the confirmation code to work. it always says "confirmation code didn't match" ...

thanks for the help.

Don't even bother to post here if you're not going to post a link to your gallery and a non-admin test user account. Just posting "I have issues" is not helpfull.

I did!  http://forum.coppermine-gallery.net/index.php?topic=36319.msg203048#msg203048  17 days later, I know people are reading this thread, but no one wants to help me?  (It's true I didn't post a non-admin test user, but since Captcha only works if you're not logged in, what's the point of that?)

Anyway I solved the problem on my own and I thought I'd post it here for the other people who are having this problem.  I think my problem was that I was using my own custom theme.  It was based on the "Classic" theme which doesn't have any CORE functions in theme.php. 

The solution: use the captcha mod, not the plugin.  The mod instructions helped me identify the CORE functions I needed, I copied those over from "Sample" theme and edited them according to the Captcha instructions.  I have almost no PHP experience but I was still able to get it working in under half an hour.

Thanks to your wonderful plugin, I can allow comments on my gallery once again.  Thank you!

PS: It seems that there are at least two different issues: image display and captcha denial.  Maybe we should have two threads?

hey koppie

i'm glad you got it working ... but installing the full mod doesn't fix the problem with the plugin.

i don't want to use the full mod, because it means editing the theme.php file of every theme i want to use. globally, it's not beneficial to me to hardcode the mod into each theme. hence the desire to use the plugin.

but nobody's posted a solution or workaround to the error.

i'm not the only one getting this error ... so i'd be happy if someone was interested in having a look at the problem.

After some investigations on  superdave's server I've found that the problem was PHP configuration
if you are using relative path, something like ./ for session.save_path then you can't use this plugin , codding structure of plugin API would cause to session lost for those who use relative path for session save path

use captcha MOD instead

Hi, Was wondering is there a way to add a BACK or Continue button under the  Confirmation code didn't match?. Or something along them lines. even autorefresh continue maybe.
Very nice plugin btw

thanks

yeah ... thanks for all your help sami. i solved the problem with a php.ini file in the root of the coppermine directory. i pointed to a new folder where it could save session data and now the plugin works fantastically!!

i didn't want to use the mod because i'd like to be able to change themes without having to recode the captcha every time ... so i love plugins. they're a great solution!

thanks again ... hope this is helpful to other people who have similar problems.

I got Coppermine 1.4.10 running with some captcha cdode - (captcha mod by  Abbas Ali)
I got that one deinstalled and  tried to install the plugin with the new codebase - it works like a charm for the registrations - but the captcha image for the comments doesnt appear anymore.

the page is  www.globalcomicjam.com , you can use the user coppermine_help PW: test42

thanks for all the help and work you gave so far - would really appreciate your ideas on that one :)

Don't post debug_output unless a supporter explicitely asks for it. Leave notices_display turned off unless you understand what the notices mean.
Instead of posting all this invalid information, post a link to your site after having read this entire thread. Check if you have the minimum requirements for this mod.

@sauvagere : It seems that you solved your problem , it would be good for others to describe your solution , thank you

@:Jost : you are using custom template for comment (I'm not familiar with mod pack but it could be it's template engine) and plugin couldn't find your comment block to replace , you have 3 way to solve this problem :
1)Copy & past original comment template form original CPG's themes.inc.php (not modpack) to your theme.php
something like this
Code: [Select]
// HTML template for the form to add comments
if (!isset($template_add_your_comment))  //{THEMES}
$template_add_your_comment = <<<EOT
        <form method="post" name="post" action="db_input.php">
                <table align="center" width="{WIDTH}" cellspacing="1" cellpadding="0" class="maintable">
                        <tr>
                                        <td width="100%" class="tableh2_compact"><b>{ADD_YOUR_COMMENT}</b></td>
                        </tr>
                        <tr>
                <td colspan="1">
                        <table width="100%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0">

<!-- BEGIN user_name_input -->
                                                        <tr>
                                                                <td class="tableb_compact">
                                        {NAME}
                                </td>
                                <td class="tableb_compact">
                                        <input type="text" class="textinput" name="msg_author" size="10" maxlength="20" value="{USER_NAME}" />
                                </td>
<!-- END user_name_input -->
<!-- BEGIN input_box_smilies -->
                                <td class="tableb_compact">
                                {COMMENT}
                                                                </td>
                                <td width="100%" class="tableb_compact">
                                <input type="text" class="textinput" id="message" name="msg_body" onselect="storeCaret_post(this);" onclick="storeCaret_post(this);" onkeyup="storeCaret_post(this);" maxlength="{MAX_COM_LENGTH}" style="width: 100%;" />
                                                                </td>
<!-- END input_box_smilies -->
<!-- BEGIN input_box_no_smilies -->
                                <td class="tableb_compact">
                                {COMMENT}
                                                                </td>
                                <td width="100%" class="tableb_compact">
                                <input type="text" class="textinput" id="message" name="msg_body"  maxlength="{MAX_COM_LENGTH}" style="width: 100%;" />
                                </td>
<!-- END input_box_no_smilies -->
                                <td class="tableb_compact">
                                <input type="hidden" name="event" value="comment" />
                                <input type="hidden" name="pid" value="{PIC_ID}" />
                                <input type="submit" class="comment_button" name="submit" value="{OK}" />
                                </td>
                                                        </tr>
                        </table>
                </td>
        </tr>
<!-- BEGIN smilies -->
        <tr>
                <td width="100%" class="tableb_compact">
                        {SMILIES}
                </td>
        </tr>
<!-- END smilies -->
                </table>
        </form>
EOT;

2)Edit plugin's codebase.php file and change reg. expression
3)Use Captcha MOD instead of this plugin

 @Kapitan_Pirula :I've got this when I browse captcha.php
Code: [Select]
Fatal error: Call to undefined function: imageftbbox() in /home/html/galeria/plugins/captcha/include/captcha.class.php

It says that you don't have one of php's function (imageftbbox) installed, probably your host disable it , ask for support from host

Having a great deal of trouble with this plugin as says it's installed on pluginmgr but it's not showing the captcha pictures allowing the spammers to continue to irritate me!

I did try the mod version as I have a customised theme but didn't have the theme.php scripts on my theme.php file. The mod didn't appear to work, probably because of this.

I hope someone can help me. :)
