Captcha picture missing (solved)

[grabit]

Hello,

I am using Jcomments in conbination with Flexicontent. It was working well for a while but now the captcha picture is not displaying anymore. I have a question mark like a missing picture.

I am using:
Joomla 1.5.21
PHP 5.2.0 and GD is enabled
Jcomment 2.2.0.2
Flexicontent 1.5.3c
Joomfish  2.0.4

I have attached a screen capture.

Any suggestions?

Could you show me link to your site?

You will find the site at:

www.energymag.be

With some reason the link to CAPTCHA image (http://www.energymag.be/index.php?option=com_jcomments&task=captcha&tmpl=component&ac=61440) is redirected to your site's home: http://www.energymag.be/fr. I don't know why... What SEF are you use?

I am using the Joomla standard one.

Seems I've found problem's source... this isn't common solution but must work for you.

Open file /components/com_jcomments/jcomments.class.php and replace:

Code: (php)

return JURI::root(true) . '/index.php?option=com_jcomments&task=captcha&tmpl=component&ac=' . $random;

with

Code: (php)

return JURI::root(true) . '/fr/index.php?option=com_jcomments&task=captcha&tmpl=component&ac=' . $random;

And is it working with the dutch language also where fr is replaced by nl in the URL?

[smart]

Oh, you're using JoomFish? In this case made such modification:


Open file /components/com_jcomments/jcomments.class.php and replace:

Code: (php)

return JURI::root(true) . '/index.php?option=com_jcomments&task=captcha&tmpl=component&ac=' . $random;

with

Code: (php)

$lang = ($mainframe->getCfg('multilingual_support') == 1) ? ('&lang='.$iso_client_lang) : '';
return JURI::root(true) . '/index.php?option=com_jcomments&task=captcha&tmpl=component&ac=' . $random. $lang;

Your first modification was OK for FR and strangely also for nl. At least in the display (I didn't try to enter a comment)

But the last one is not working.

[smart]

If previous version was working for both languages you could leave it. I need some additional time to make extra tests with JoomFish.

Smart,

The captcha is displaying OK with that first version but I am not able to send anymore the comments. Even if I am connected as member of the community.

Thanks for your help.

Hello Smart,

this message to tell you that I found the source of the problem.

I was using the 302 redirection in jfrouter plugin.

As soon as I removed that redirection, all the problems were gone.

Post was again possible and captcha came back to life.

Thanks again for your help.
