It's a common problem when having multiple includes. Please read the whole thread - you'll find at least two approaches to solve it.

Warning: imagepng() [function.imagepng]: Unable to open 'captcha.png' for writing in /home/www/frankwarren/drill/News/plugins/captcha2.php on line 38
any ideas thanks |
In plugins/captcha2.php find this:

easy installing and works great! i have one question...
on the user side it works fine, but on the admin panel template page i get this error message
Warning: Error parsing /home/visionko/public_html/mysite/news/inc/lang/en/templates.ini on line 33 in /home/visionko/public_html/mysite/news/inc/functions.inc.php on line 809
i can just ignore it and it would still be fine but it's annoying. how can i fix this?
thank you.

Hi Cheers FI-DD found the problem, in the data folder is a .htaccess file this is stopping the image from showing, if i turn the .htaccess of all ok but i don't want that. i've tried moving the captcha.png to a different file and changing url but doesnt work.
many thanks for all your hard work.

anyway to use a numeric code? I mean,no image, just type in,like this:
numeric code: 1234
So if this code is not typed in, visitor cant leave a comment. In this case, captcha plugin wouldnt be installed and this input will be a extra field in the form.
If cant be understood,here's again.
I wanna add a extra field where visitor gotta type in the numeric code.If not, cant leave a comment.
Simple like that.
best regards.

In inc/show.addcomment.php find this:
| | if (!$name){
?>
<div class="error_message"><?=$echo['nameEmpty']; ?></div>
<?
return;
} |
and add above:
| | if ($spam_check != "1234"){
?>
<div class="error_message">Error: Wrong code.</div>
<?
return;
} |
Now add an extra field to your comment form:
| | <input type="text" name="spam_check" /> |
(Not tested.)

Yea, and it works. I have built a contact form which uses this method,its simple but it works.
So, let me try what FI-DD told me to do.
It would be better if admin post a new thread as STICKY which can be a secondary anti-spam method.
Agree?
best regards.

I just applied the code to my main installation. Soon I will try it too. I have a very large web project I'm going to undertake soon.

You mean if like you're having a lot of users posting to your site? I don't see why not. Like the main user or users of the site could always write the most important articles? All others would show up right after the admin posts? I guess you could use an XField toggle to sort that or something.. Hadn't really thought about it til you mentioned it.

I meant that If any admin cant install Spam protection with image confirmation code (captcha), They could use the alternative code script we said before:Just enter a 4 digit code, and that works.
