Post Nothing is showing up for me Reply with quote
Okay, this option is one of the MAIN reasons that I've gone with RU. But, nothing at all is showing up. Here's the code for my template (a portion):



Code:


    <tr>

      <td width="49" height="1"><font style="font-family:arial, sans-serif;   color:#000000; font-size:12;">

Mail:</font>

      </td>

      <td width="289" height="1"> <input type="text" name="mail" tabindex="2"> <font style="font-family:arial, sans-serif;   color:#000000; font-size:12;">(optional)</font></td>

    </tr>

<tr>

<td>

{captcha}

</td>

</tr>

  </center>

    <tr>

      <td width="51" height="1">

        <p align="left"><font style="font-family:arial, sans-serif;   color:#000000; font-size:12;">Smile:</font></p>

      </td>

<center>

      <td width="291" height="1" >

{smilies}

      </td>

    </tr>

   




Here is the code that I've changed to help with the image and the finding the file issue:



Code:
<?php

// include captcha class

require('/mysite.com/public_html/news/plugins/captcha/php-captcha.inc.php');



// define fonts

$aFonts = array('/mysite.com/public_html/news/plugins/captcha/VeraMoBd.ttf');



// create new image

$oPhpCaptcha = new PhpCaptcha($aFonts, 200, 60);

//$oPhpCaptcha->DisplayShadows(true);

$oPhpCaptcha->UseColour(true);

$oPhpCaptcha->Create();

?>




But, still, absolutely nothing shows up.





I've made sure the plug in is active, i've cleared cache...



what now?



I really can not have the issues I had before with the spammers - i had nearly 5,000 postings from spammers in my archives, making my comments txt over 55mb. I just can't have that.

Are you sure you've put the {captcha} in the correct template? Not seeing anything doesn't make sense at all. Confused

Yup, most definitely in my comment form template section. Confused



I'm going to try to mess with the file location some more. Maybe I can get it to work. Shocked



Okay, just can't seem to get it to work. Here is my entire code (actually gave a width to the td this time) for my comment form:



Code:
<table width="483" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" bgcolor="#CCCCCC">

  <tr>

      <td width="49" height="1"><font style="font-family:arial, sans-serif;   color:#000000; font-size:12;">

Name:</font>

      </td>

      <td width="289" height="1"><input type="text" name="name" tabindex="1"></td>

    </tr>

    <tr>

      <td width="49" height="1"><font style="font-family:arial, sans-serif;   color:#000000; font-size:12;">

Mail:</font>

      </td>

      <td width="289" height="1"> <input type="text" name="mail" tabindex="2"> <font style="font-family:arial, sans-serif;   color:#000000; font-size:12;">(optional)</font></td>

    </tr>

<tr>

<td width="480">

{captcha}

</td>

</tr>

  </center>

    <tr>

      <td width="51" height="1">

        <p align="left"><font style="font-family:arial, sans-serif;   color:#000000; font-size:12;">Smile:</font></p>

      </td>

<center>

      <td width="291" height="1" >

{smilies}

      </td>

    </tr>

    <tr>

      <td width="340" height="1" colspan="2"> <textarea cols="40" rows="6" name="comments" tabindex="3"></textarea><br />

        <input type="submit" name="submit" value="   Add My Comment   " accesskey="s">

      </td>

    </tr>

  </table>




Here is the code to my captcha.php



Code:
<?php

// include captcha class

require('http://www.mysite.com/news/plugins/captcha/php-captcha.inc.php');



// define fonts

$aFonts = array('http://www.mysite.com/news/plugins/captcha/VeraMoBd.ttf');



// create new image

$oPhpCaptcha = new PhpCaptcha($aFonts, 200, 60);

//$oPhpCaptcha->DisplayShadows(true);

$oPhpCaptcha->UseColour(true);

$oPhpCaptcha->Create();

?>




Do you see anything wrong? I've made the file direction all different sorts of ways, but can't figure it out...

1.

Maybe you've put it into the default template whereas you are using another template?

It's very strange that there is nothing at all. Even if the image is not showing you should see at least the input box and "Enter this code in the field below."



2.

Please go to Options -> Manage Templates -> Comment form.

Do you see {captcha} - Shows the confirmation image and text field in the list of available tags? (Seeing this confirms that the plugin is activated.)

Yeah, it's definitely in my redupgrade template. It's quite strange. I even asked my server administrator to look at it (as he's a php guru as well). He just tried putting the word - OH DANG!! I AM SUCH A DORK.



I just realized that I still have my secondary page (called news.php) pointing toward my test template. ahhhhhhhh no wonder - geez, I am so sorry!



Thank you SOOO much for your help! Geez, I'm so stupid. thank you thank you thank you! Confused Shocked Confused Shocked Wink



Edit:



Okay, it showed up great, but when I went to go use it, it doesn't post up my comment, and it goes to a blank (just my template) page. I've used the entire coding to the captcha file, seen here:

Code:
<?php

// include captcha class

require('http://www.mysite.com/news/plugins/captcha/php-captcha.inc.php');



// define fonts

$aFonts = array('http://www.mysite.com/news/plugins/captcha/VeraMoBd.ttf');



// create new image

$oPhpCaptcha = new PhpCaptcha($aFonts, 200, 60);

//$oPhpCaptcha->DisplayShadows(true);

$oPhpCaptcha->UseColour(true);

$oPhpCaptcha->Create();

?>




But, then, after I tried to change it up a bit, it went away, and has never come back, even after I changed the captcha.php file back to what it was originally. So, I removed it from my template until I can figure out what's wrong....



sigh...

any ideas?

I suggest you install a second version of the script with the captcha plugin enabled. That way we can try to find the problem while your main page is fully working.

Okay, I reinstalled it, and it's showing up with your original coding. However, it is STILL giving me a blank page when I test it.



I tried use different file structures, but I can't seem to get it to work.



I can't leave it activated if it's not working, as I have far too many people that look at my articles (I had three via google news today) and want to post comments. I will try to keep checking back tomorrow and if I see you on, I will try to activate it then.



Thanks.

I wasn't talking about reinstalling it. I want you to install a second version parallel to your main installation so your users aren't affected by the test installation.

Fatal error: Undefined class name 'phpcaptcha' in /home/int2000/21439/html/toimitus/plugins/captcha.php on line 48



Help, please. Our site has been spammed!

Most likely it's because of multiple includes.

So what's the structure of your site. What are your include codes?



I'm trying to recreate the situation.

What that has to do with the problem "now it won't accept the numbers and release the comment." ?



It goes to the next page and says "go back and enter the numbers of..."



You can test it here : http://www.rokkizine.com/haastattelut.php?id=3507

I tested it, my friend. Rolling Eyes



Since this plugin is perfectly working with single includes and since I believe that you are smart enough to install it, the only possibility left is that it has something to do with multiple includes. That's why I asked for your include codes to be able to setup a situation like yours.



Anyway, I can't wait any longer for your decision to give me the codes. I'll look at it Sunday evening or Monday.



Happy weekend.

First one :



<?PHP

$number = "1";

$template = "Haastattelut";

include("/path/show_news.php");

?>



Second one (on the left side of the website) :



<?PHP

$static = "true";

$number = "9";

$template = "arvostelut_versio3";

$category = "2,14,17";

include("/path/show_news.php");

?>
