The Problem is from Textimage

Textimage is unfinished .
He has't not all funktion to work correct e.g. funktion textimage_captcha() must have textimage, this add a Item to the Captcha settings Option.
The Captcha Module request new funktion from Textimage, but he ain't got it.

OK, as you know Captcha v2.1 and Textimage v1.2 don't get along. Textimage will not show in the Captcha settings due to a missing function.

I've created that function and removed the old one. Note that this patch makes Textimage incompatible with Captcha v1.x.

Upon further testing, the captcha image doesn't get validated properly using my patch. Anyone have any ideas?

OK, I've included an updated patch that actually works this time.

Seems to work fine for me.
Still having other issues with the fact that the text typed in doesn't seem to be recognized as valid responses.
Think that's related to another issue though.

Hi

thank you for the patch, but after a access to a form with a captcha, the textimage comes and if I go to a another site/node, a error appears:

Fatal error: Cannot use string offset as an array in /public_html/sites/all/modules/captcha/captcha.module on line 169

same here...

Fatal error: Cannot use string offset as an array in /var/www/drupal-5.1/sites/localhost.sandbox/modules/captcha/captcha.module on line 169

I had the same problems but that last patch seems to have fixed it for me, thanx!

Hi,

I have tried the patch but am getting the same error on submit at line 169. I have installed the old version and now it works.

Look forward to the fix.

Thanks

Nick

njwedwards what old version of captcha did you install that worked??

I am having nothing but trouble trying to get the Captcha 5.x-2.1 to work. I had no problem with the previous version.

I have :
captcha-5.x-2.1.tar.gz
form_store-5.x-1.0.tar.gz
textimage-5.x-1.2.tar.gz
webform-5.x-1.3.tar.gz

Installed in : sites/all/modules

When I try the patch mentioned above I get :
Fatal error: Cannot use string offset as an array in ...sites/all/modules/captcha/captcha.module on line 169

If anybody has a step by step guide to get the image captcha to work, that would be great, at the moment this is a nightmare.

I've the same problem. See also #142830. I think there might be two separate issues - one with the textimage module not appearing in the captcha list and the other with the captcha module.

it looks like there's also some wonkyness in the menu... why is the filepath being used in the path that calls back to textimage_image()? and wtf is up with textimage_image() it's got the most cryptic parameters ever.

@6:

There is a problem in

$result['value'] = array('_captcha_validate' => array());
...
function textimage_validate($form_item) {
$captcha_word = $form_item['#post']['captcha_response'];

You should save the anwser in $result['value'] and not create a validate function. ;)

ALWAYS GET
The image verification code you entered is incorrect.

CASE ISSUE:

$captcha_word = drupal_strtolower($form_item['#post']['captcha_response']);

WORKING NOW

#19 and #6 together worked for me.

grab the 5--3 branch. it's working much better.

@drewish: do you mean the DRUPAL-5--3 branch of Captcha, i.e. the 5.x-3.x-dev snapshot of that module? I'll try it.

If that's what's required, is there going to be a major version number break in Textimage (to 5.x-2.0 or 5.x-3.0) to reflect compatibility with a new version of the Captcha API? Or at least some kind of a 5.x-1.x-dev release?

Update: it seems captcha-5.x-3.x-dev provides image_captcha independently. Textimage isn't necessary if all you need is image captcha functionality. Silly me!

Could you guys put a note in the page stating that it's deprecated and forward them to the new version of Captcha?
