Can someone please help me with setting up the captcha module?
My problem is that I have downloaded it and installed it sucsessfully, but when I add a /fonts directory, and I in the settings I specify /fonts as my dircory for fonts, it doesn't work. An image of what the system says it here:

Just type fonts as your path. You don't have to put the full URL. That should work.

I had a similar issue in 4.7 -- I solved my issue by:

1. disabling the captcha module
2. deleting all values associated with the captcha module in the variables table -- this step involves interacting directly with the database, so be careful, and back up your database before you touch any info stored there.
3. re-enably the captcha module using the file path, not the url

The bug (if it is one) seems to be that you can't change/reset the font path after you put it in for the first time.

I hope this helps.

Cheers,

Bill

How does one disable the captcha module? I have access to it through the settings menu, however when clicked it brings up a page saying....

Fatal error: Call to undefined function gd_info() in D:\Web Hosting\www.XXXXXX.com.au\modules\captcha\captcha.module on line 84

i don't have a captcha sub-folder in the modules folder .. I take it thats the problem? :p

This is much simpler than going inside your database. I think there's a minor bug in the captcha module that persistently keeps summoning a previously-set invalid font path whilst ignoring the new valid font path you're trying to set to remedy the situation.

I got this to work by just deleting the captcha variables and then clearing the rows from the cache table - it had a cache of the variables table which made things interesting.
