huge problem (fb3.x w/ almanac)(back to index)I was unable to get cpatcha to generate any image, so I thought that it might be in the wrong folder, so I tried briefly moving it to the extensions folder. Bad idea! When the page loaded, all I got was the image in the upper right corner, the rest of the blog did not display. So, I deleted the fb_captcha.php file from that directory and put it back in the main blog folder - and the result continues! I cannot find any way to get my blog back - why is this happening!! Help!!

charles,
I have fb_captcha.php working on my test site here:http://www.frhendrix.com/folderblog/fb.php
I am not a guru as the others are but i can tell you what I have done to get mine up and running. If I give incorrect info please forgive me and I hope others will step in to help us...
I am using FB3.16b with Almanac 3.16. The fb-cpatcha file is located in my folderblog dir along with fb.php. Here is how I have coded my pages:
almanac_main: Locate this string:
<input type="hidden" name="image" value="<#fbimagename#>" style="display: none;" />
Below it I added: <#fbcaptcha#>
fb_settings.php:
Make sure you turn on cpatcha with this line:
$require_captcha = 1; // 1: Require CAPTCHA on commenting; 0: don't require CAPTCHA
I believe that is all I had to do and mine was working.

Richard - I'm not able to find that string in the almanac_main file - I've got the 2005-07-05 version (the latest I could find) of the almanac template, which may be different from what you've got.
My main problem is that nothing is displayed on my site except for the four letter image that captcha generates. I'm puzzled because it is STILL happening, even though I wiped the folderblog folder clean and reinstalled the scripts and all their associated folders. Is there something with the server that could be causing this?

Ok - I'm an idiot - just tried refreshing my view in my ftp client, and saw that my delete command to get rid of the captcha filein the extensions folder did not initially work - it's now gone, and so is my problem! Don't put captcha in your extensions folder! D'oh!
