easy solution for Captcha without the API - Formtools v2.X - Tzvook - Dec 2nd, 2012
I have been using formtools for a few years now.
Since I saw lots of requests for using a Captcha without the API ( tested under Formtools version v2.0.2 , should fit the whole 2.x branch)
I decided to contribute this easy solution to this nice community.
So I dedicated a few minutes to clean the Hebrew from it and turn it into English for you to use ..... with my peace blessings from Israel :-)
First of all go to http://www.phpcaptcha.org/ and download the "Securimage" files.
put the files under the main formtools directory (formtools/securimage/)
open your formtools/process.php , save it under a new name - lets say "processC.php" - it will be used for all your captcha-enabled forms.
NOW edit the file ("processC.php"):
the first line:
Code:
<?phpshould turn into:
Code:
<?php
session_start();around line 100 - AFTER these lines
Code:
// do we have a form for this id?
if (!ft_check_form_exists($form_id))
{
$page_vars = array("message_type" => "error", "message" => $LANG["processing_invalid_form_id"]);
ft_display_page("../../global/smarty/messages.tpl", $page_vars);
exit;
}ADD THE CODE:
Code:
// Tzvook captcha
$folder = dirname(__FILE__);
@include_once("$folder/securimage/securimage.php");
$securimage = new Securimage();
if ($securimage->check($_POST['captcha_code']) == false) {
// the code was incorrect
// you should handle the error so that the form processor doesn't continue
// or you can use the following code if there is no validation or you do not know how
$page_vars = array("message_type" => "error", "message" => "<center><div style=\"width: 500px; border: 1px solid #FF0000; background-color: #FFFFFF; padding: 30px; font-family: Tahoma, Arial; font-size: 16px; color: #000000; margin: 0 auto;\">You did not typed the right verification code<br /><br />The verification code is checking to see if you are really humans<br />and not a SPAM automatic robots</strong><br /><br />Please go back and try again<br /><br /><A href=\"javascript:history.back(-1)\" onmouseover='window.status = \"\" ;return true'>Back to the form</a></div></center>");
ft_display_page("../../global/smarty/messages.tpl", $page_vars);
exit;
}
// End Tzvook captchaYour forms need to go to the new file:
something like - <form action="http://www.your-domain.com/formtools/processC.php" method="post">
and the captcha itself, wherever you need it in your form:
Code:
<img id="captcha" src="http://www.your-domain.com/formtools/securimage/securimage_show.php" alt="CAPTCHA Image" alt="Security Image" style="padding-left: 4px;" align="right" />
<font size="1">copy the code to the field:</font><br />
<input type="text" name="captcha_code" size="10" maxlength="6" />
<a href="#" onclick="document.getElementById('captcha').src = 'http://www.your-domain.com/formtools/securimage/securimage_show.php?' + Math.random(); return false">[ Different Image ]</a>There are a lot of nice features @ http://www.phpcaptcha.org/ ... all those can be inserted in your forms ... I simply gave the easiest implementation ...
It's a quick solution - I just made it and didn't had too many tests - but it seems to work perfectly, I'll be glad to hear if you had issues with it ..

Thanks! I struggled with the API and was unsuccessful. This works great.

glad to hear ....
If there were no comment, it probably works as expected for all ...

Awesome! Thanks for sharing with our community!

Thanks for adding this!
Just a note, but I think that this:
ft_display_page("../../global/smarty/messages.tpl", $page_vars);
should be changed to something like
ft_display_page("error.tpl", $page_vars);
I don't think ../../global/smarty/messages.tpl exists... at least I didn't see it on my install.

I'm having trouble making it work. For some reason I was able to get through the form setup process fine but now the captcha won't verify the image. Here is my form: http://www.imnotaclown.com/library/
I tried making the changes as moorezilla suggested but that didn't seem to work either.
Suggestions? Thank you.

Is there any way to have the error page a custom one of your own?

yes, still pretty much correct as of today, BEST solution yet!
RE: easy solution for Captcha without the API - Formtools v2.X - kan - Jan 24th, 2016
Hi,
can someone help me, and explain me where I can set the action on the form?
When I look in the formbuilder/published directory and have a look in the code of my form there is no <form action...>
Your forms need to go to the new file:
something like - <form action="http://www.your-domain.com/formtools/processC.php" method="post">
and also, how can I add the below catcha code to forms built with formbuilder?
and the captcha itself, wherever you need it in your form:
Code:
<img id="captcha" src="http://www.your-domain.com/formtools/securimage/securimage_show.php" alt="CAPTCHA Image" alt="Security Image" style="padding-left: 4px;" align="right" />
<font size="1">copy the code to the field:</font><br />
<input type="text" name="captcha_code" size="10" maxlength="6" />
<a href="#" onclick="document.getElementById('captcha').src = 'http://www.your-domain.com/formtools/securimage/securimage_show.php?' + Math.random(); return false">[ Different Image ]</a>
thanks in advance,
Kan

Hi Kan, did you or anyone else figure out how to get the captcha to work on the form? I try pasting the code but it never works.
