CAPTCHA Required Message

[david_de]

I just updated from 1.61 to 1.62. CAPTCHA is required (will not accept without it) and I am not sure where I turned that on or if it can be turned off and on. On is fine with me and I appreciate it being there.

I replaced all the template files that a change was indicated with the 1.62 version of those files. All the other files were replaced except the two in inc. I ran the install and indicated that I was upgrading from 16X and everything went fine.

The bug is when the CAPTCHA is not entered I get a message about the other required feilds but nothing on CAPTCHA. It is rejected with all the other fields filled only the CAPTCH empty. Accepted fine with CAPTCHA filled.

When going back to the form to add the missing required content all the fields on the form are empty. Not sure if you have worked on this issue or plan to? I know that is not a simple thing to do.

There is nothing at the CAPTCHA box to indicate what should be done. Example: Insert text in the picture here.

I also wonder, how many of the general public know what CAPTCHA means or how to use it without some direction?

Hi,

I got the following message:

Required fields are your name, your email address, category, headline, your Record and Captcha Code!

And above the captcha image you see the text:

Please enter the characters you're reading in the image

bye

I had one line to change in language_en.php. I had three open at the same time and mixed them up. I only found it when I was searching to give more information on the problem.

Now it is perfect.

Hi david_de,

If of any help, in the italian language file, as you could see, I put an HTML anchor to Wikipedia. Unfortunately I currently receive no feedback about this simple, but IMHO nice, small tip so I do not backport it to EN yet.

This is a good idea. Nice way to make the info available to anyone that wants or needs it but not clutter the form.

Hi davide_de,
I've just backported this simple Captcha->Wikipedia reference into the lang/language_en.php file.

Hi Matteo,

Thank you it works very well. That should help to avoid confusion if the person does not know what Captch is. Not only can they send the information they get a learning experience.

Now all we need is a Braille captcha.
