Yes, use a HTML box to add the captcha code. The contact form that comes with the ABVFP zip contains a captcha so simply copy / paste and change the necessary URLs in the code.

Re: Advanced BlueVoda Form Processor 2

I found a captcha file in my abvfp folder on computer. Opened it,copied details(no sign of URL) created an HTML box on my page,pasted details in box,previewed my page...nothing....
This is what was in captcha file:

<?php
$width = 100;
$height = 38;
$font = 'verdana.ttf';
$f_size = 14;
$bg_color = array(240, 240, 240);
$chars = 'AaBbCcDdEeFfGgHhKkMmNnPpQqRrSsTtVvWwXxYyZz2345678 9';
session_start();
$im = imagecreatetruecolor($width, $height);
$bkgr = imagecolorallocate($im, $bg_color[0], $bg_color[1], $bg_color[2]);
imagefilledrectangle($im, 0, 0, $width, $height, $bkgr);
$code = '';
for($i = 0; $i < 5; $i++) {
$code .= $chr = $chars[mt_rand(0, strlen($chars)-1)];
imagettftext($im,$f_size,mt_rand(-35,35),5+$i*18,mt_rand(4/3*$f_size,$height-(4/3*$f_size)/2),imagecolorallocate($im,mt_rand(0,192),mt_rand(0 ,192),mt_rand(0,192)),$font,$chr);
}
$_SESSION['random_txt'] = md5($code);
header('Content-type: image/png');
imagepng($im);
imagedestroy($im);
?>
Many Thanks for help

Re: Advanced BlueVoda Form Processor 2

No, you should not have touched this file.
Place a html box in your form (It will need to have the dimensions of the the captcha that will appear)

Paste the following code in this HTML box:

<img src="http://www.yourdomain.com/ABVFP/captcha.php" alt="Click for new image" title="Click for new image" style="cursor:pointer" onclick="this.src='http://www.yourdomain.com/ABVFP/captcha.php?'+Math.random()">

Replace the two URLS avove with your own (related to your domain)

OR

Open the folder BV Pages (in the zip)
Open the page "contactform"

Copy / paste the captcha HTML box from "contactform" to your own page
Double click it and edit the two URLs

Please note that this ONLY works when the page is published, not in preview as it is PHP code.

Thanks...I have got there...and it works of a fashion!!....I did test captcha box, but I can put any old nubers or letter in, and ut then goes to my thank you page!...Is this how it is supposed to work?..I would have thought u needed to put the exact code in the box??
Thanks again,Andy

Re: Advanced BlueVoda Form Processor 2

No, it should not. If the entered code is wrong, it should send to the error page.

BUT

you have not used ABVFP to process your form!

The built in form processor CAN'T verify the captcha value. You need to use ABVFP to process your form

I was assuming that since you posted in the ABVFP thread, you were using ABVFP but you are not!

Re: Advanced BlueVoda Form Processor 2

Sorry,I have abvfp all over my computer an I downloaded it,but I think I must have used just a form from BV...is that possible?
I will try and make the form again, or could you do it for a small fee??
Chuckle,thanks again

Re: Advanced BlueVoda Form Processor 2

The issue is not redoing the form, but installing ABVFP and using it to process your form, to get the captcha working on your site. The installation is really simple, if you follow the manual instructions.

If not, Yes, i can install ABVFP (There is an installation Request form in the same page where you downloaded ABVFP from my site) and setup your form accordingly.

Re: Advanced BlueVoda Form Processor 2

I have recreated form from ABVFP folder (contactform) have also saved a new form created in ABVFP saved as Form 4.Have used instruction Formid 4. Am unsure how it all works together. In the instructions,i read that you can create form, but you also give it an instruction with the Formid value,
but I thought this would be confusing, as the Formid instruction is for another form design?? Sorry for being a bit thick! I have carried out installation as per instructions...Thanks for help

Re: Advanced BlueVoda Form Processor 2

the new form is www.compcon.co.uk/ABVFP/dbts_abvft_3.php

Thanks again

Re: Advanced BlueVoda Form Processor 2

Not sure what you mean or what you are asking (if you are asking something)

Your form in the above link has its action pointing to the page itself, so you do NOT process it with ABVFP. You probably have set the form to be processed with the built in form processor. If so, how do you expect ABVFP to process your form ???

Re: Advanced BlueVoda Form Processor 2

sorry if not clear.....I am using BV to create my web site, and assume I use that for making the form, If not I still do not know how ABVFP then works....Do you create a page in BV and then give an instruction from a button, say in Index, to ABVFP folder on server to the contact form in that folder,which then opens the form that I created in ABVFP? If that is the case where do u put instruction for which form to open(Formid 4)?
Thanks again

Re: Advanced BlueVoda Form Processor 2

Please read the ABVFP manual.

The form is created in BV
You set the form action to point to ABVFP (it is explained in the manual)
Then you setup the specific form in the ABVFP control panel. It will display a Formid when you do so.

You use this value for the form hidden field.

and you are ready to publish and test your form

All of the above are explained in details in the ABVFP manual included in the zip.

Re: Advanced BlueVoda Form Processor 2

Thanks for all your efforts, but it must be me, I have read and read....
How do I pay you to sort ?...Thanks again

Re: Advanced BlueVoda Form Processor 2

There is a "Request Installation Service" button in the ABVFP download page.
It will take you to a form where you can select the options you like and it will, at the end, take you to the payments page.
