Doesn't work at me I've read the readme, did the steps 1 to 4 but I've no idea where to put the code from step 5 I tried a lot but got error messages every time. The security image will not be published. My host supports gd2 and my cute news version is 1.4.1.

I installed experimentally this script on some websites and worked ok, but yesterday have put on some hosting and it does not work. The image appears, but without letters. What can be the reason? All files is uploaded. Sample: http://www.pawfineart.com/gallery/2006/06/08/test.html

(sorry for my english)

You can try to set the full path to the TrueTypeFont.



Open plugins/captcha/captcha.php and change this:

Code: Select all

$aFonts = array('VeraMoBd.ttf');

to something like this (depending on your path):

Code: Select all

$aFonts = array('/var/myhost/mydomain/public_html/cuteru/plugins/captcha/VeraMoBd.ttf');

Thank you very much!



Yes, text has appeared, but now there is other problem - the entered code is not accepted and appears error:

Code: Select all

Fatal error: Undefined class name 'phpcaptcha' in /homepages/12/d146872239/htdocs/plugins/captcha.php on line 48

Now the problem is solved, but the code very difficultly distinguishes (though I am confident that type correctly as on others servers this script works well). Nevertheless there is a problem, after acceptance of a code, there is a form in which it is necessary to enter some password. Strange. The password of admin is accepted only. However in admin setings is enabled all comments...

The problem is solved, but has bug. Captca validate code only after second attempt (after click on back). If I open page first time, or refreshed it, the code will be never accepted. See - http://sgallery.net/artnews/

I tested it twice and it worked twice (first try).

Thank you!

Strange... However it is good news for me. I thought of it, what is it can be only on my computer, as has installed recently IE7 and have noticed many bugs.

The image doesn't appear for me, even after changing it to my own path >.<.



If my normal path to my cutenews script is:

Code: Select all

/home/miso/public_html/z/

then I will need to put this right?

Code: Select all

/home/miso/public_html/z/plugins/captcha/VeraMoBd.ttf

^^^ But that doesn't work, because the image doesn't turn up!

[FI-DD]

I can't really help you with this. The path seems to be different from server to server. Try and change the path until it works (hopefully).
