Which CAPTCHA image do you prefer?
I am currently working on creating a new CAPTCHA (antispam registration image) hack that uses a more complex image generator and will have many
configurable options.
The new hack will also enable CAPTCHA images for anonymous posting to prevent spam.
Which captcha image do you prefer?

It is enlarged to accept the multi sized letters. The image size can be altered via the admin panel, along with the number of characters for the code.

I am familiar with the features. The same thing is used in UltimaBB as far as features for CAPTCHA goes I think it will be a nice mod indeed and look forward to it. |

Sounds excellent. I should be getting with you on that thing we discussed soon. Next week or so.
I look forward to this as well. |

There is some incomplete code. For instance/ You are calling the action line to member.php in header.php but you have this code in the template.
misc.php?action=captchaimage&imagehash=$imagehash
Further more, there is no actionable code for member.php in the directions that I can see so that it is even called
member.php?action=captchaimage&imagehash=$imagehash |

Am I? No code is being called from header.php

The action is in misc.php, but you are correct, the code is missing. I will get that updated later today.
Thank's for letting me know.

It does look like a good mod.
My only question is - will this run on 1.9.5 or do I get to be the lucky guy who finds out? |

You can be the lucky guy who finds out  .
It should work, but you may have a few issues finding certain pieces of code. If you get stuck, let me know.

Ah, OK then. I like a challenge.
I'll install an innocent (and possibly even carefree) XMB 1.9.5 so I don't stuff up my good boards.
Probably safer that way. |

Did your board throw up a "Not Allowed to Run This File Directly" error when you tried to register?
The Admin CP settings work OK but anything that involves the CAPTCHA directly throws up that error. |

No, because I removed this from captcha.inc.php
| Code: |
if (!defined('IN_CODE') && (defined('DEBUG') && DEBUG == false)) {
exit ("Not allowed to run this file directly.");
}

I have recently found a few typo error's within the mod that will most likely prevent it from working. I have now updated the downloads with the
latest version.
If you have already installed it, you will need to replace ./include/captcha.inc.php and check all the code for the files / templates.

Almost there.
What I get now is a divide by zero error at Line 105 in captcha.inc.php. This is causing the forum, as it can't divide by 0, to just skip the CAPTCHA
and allow anonymous posting.
Here is the exact error:
| Code: |
Warning: Division by zero in /mounted-storage/home43b/sub005/sc32266-HUZG/www/test/include/captcha.inc.php on line 105
Warning: Division by zero in /mounted-storage/home43b/sub005/sc32266-HUZG/www/test/include/captcha.inc.php on line 105
|
And here is the offending line, Line 105:
| Code: |
function CalculateSpacing() {
$this->iSpacing = (int)($this->iWidth / $this->iNumChars);
}
|
I can attach captcha.inc.php if you need it. |

The code displayed on Line 105 is:
$this->iSpacing = (int)($this->iWidth / $this->iNumChars);
This immediately precedes it:
| Code: |
function Captcha($iWidth = CAPTCHA_WIDTH, $iHeight = CAPTCHA_HEIGHT) {
// get parameters
$this->SetNumChars(CAPTCHA_NUM_CHARS);
$this->SetNumDots(CAPTCHA_NUM_DOTS);
$this->SetNumLines(CAPTCHA_NUM_LINES);
$this->DisplayShadow(CAPTCHA_CHAR_SHADOW);
$this->SetCharSet(CAPTCHA_CHAR_SET);
$this->SetFonts(CAPTCHA_FONTS);
$this->CaseInsensitive(CAPTCHA_CASE_INSENSITIVE);
$this->SetBackgroundImages(CAPTCHA_BACKGROUND_IMAGES);
$this->SetMinFontSize(CAPTCHA_MIN_FONT_SIZE);
$this->SetMaxFontSize(CAPTCHA_MAX_FONT_SIZE);
$this->UseColor(CAPTCHA_USE_COLOR);
$this->SetFileType(CAPTCHA_FILE_TYPE);
$this->SetWidth($iWidth);
$this->SetHeight($iHeight);
$this->CheckCompatibility();
}

Here's my copy of captcha.inc.php.

Have you checked the Admin Settings to ensure all the captcha sizes etc. are set?
