PluginSoft.com - Graphical Security Code Error  Bottom

Go to page 1 - 2 [+1]:

  • I have this mod installed on 2 .0762 sites and I thought it was funny that at least the busiest site hadn't had an registrations lately.

    Upon checking I have found that both sites produce an error when a new member signs up :-

    Your security code doesn't match. Please be sure to enter the exact numbers that appear in the graphic.[Back]

    New Members simply can't register - has anyone else found this issue?
  • Other users have reported the same issue. I am not sure why it is happening. On PluginSoft.com the registration works fine.

    I even tested it on a fresh copy of postnuke 0.762 running on Windows just now to make sure. The registration feature worked fine.

    I am at a loss as to why the registration feature is not working for you.
  • I have this same problem

    not sure why but at the moment allthough the sec code works ok for people who already have accounts

    it does not work on the new user sign-up

    giving the same error as above

  • I have looked at this a few times, and I think whats happening is that the check between '$ seccode' and '$ verification' is getting confused by any logon block that also visable on the left side menu

    so that when someone registerd, they fill in the form ok, they fill in the seccode ok and correct, but, when they click submit button, the next displayed page, which should say, your details have been emailed, reports that there is an error,
    if you echo or print the '$ seccode' and '$ verification' to the screen at this point, you will see that the seccode allthough correct and showing what was submitted id not the same as the verification, which shows the current number for any logon block code, as displayed in the left side menu

    I guess, that this system would work great, for any system that has its logon as a right side blcok, this would prob not display when the checks are made and the notices display, so the check for '$ seccode' and '$ verification' would still match and be ok

    probably why its reported as working on some sites but not on others
  • I resolved the issue with the Login Block positioned on the left side of the page interfering with the New User registration. I will incorporate this into the next release. Until then here is the fix.

    1. Open login.php found under includes/blocks
    2. Insert the following code:

    BELOW

    Code

    if (strpos($_SERVER['PHP_SELF'], 'login.php')) {
      die ("You can't access this file directly...");
    }


    FIX

    Code

    $SecModName = pnModGetName();
    if ($SecModName == 'NewUser') {
    return;
    }


    ABOVE

    Code

    $blocks_modules['login'] = array(
        'func_display' => 'blocks_login_block',
        'text_type' => 'Login',
        'text_type_long' => "User's Login",
        'allow_multiple' => false,
        'form_content' => false,
        'form_refresh' => false,
    //  'support_xhtml' => true,
        'show_preview' => false
    );

    Thanks
  • Hi Dan:

    Any idea when the next release will be available?

    TIA
  • A new version of the Graphical Security Code is available on pluginsoft.com. It was built with PostNuke 0.764 core files. The new version fixes the issue with the login block preventing new user registrations. Additionally, there is a new PNG image with larger fonts.
  • What would be nice is if one could get past the PluginSoft signup page to be able to download.

    Either a) I can't read the code or b] it keeps telling me it's wrong.

    Don't get me wrong - it's a great little tool that I would love to have working properly on my sites - but if it isn't working on your own - it doesn't fill me with enthusiasm....
  • Sorry about that! There was a problem, which has been corrected. Try it now.
  • Still no joy......

  • Well, I was able to register after a couple tries where it told me I was wrong. But then when I tried to go to downloads, I got a message saying I wasn't authorized.


    And if you are NOT logged in, the 'contact' link brings up a form that looks much more like a news submission than a contact form...but if you are logged in, you get a message saying you are not authorized to submit news....

  • The package included the wrong fonts. I updated the package with the correct ones. You can either:

    1. update your installation by downloading the new package; or
    2. use the existing package changing the font 'georgia.ttf' to 'Curlz___.TTF' near the bottom of the modules/User/user.php file.
