eForm:Invalid verification code

Hi all,


I’m having a problem getting eForm verification to work. Although I enter the vericode correctly the form does NOT get sent. The error message I get is ’Invalid verification code’. I’m not sure whether it is from my server or from a bug in the eForm. I’m using a shared hosting server.

I’m new to modx. I looked around for solution for this problem on the forum and google with no success. Please help if you can.

Here is my code:

The Call:
[!eForm? &formid=`feedbackForm` &tpl=`master_contact_form` &report=`request_for_prop_report` &invalidClass = `invalidValue` &requiredClass = `requiredClass` &cssStyle = `form_error_style` &vericode=`1` &gotoid=`1` !]

The form:

<form id="feedbackForm" method="post" action="[~[*id*]~]">
<input type="hidden" name="formid" value="feedbackForm" />
<!-- formIdentifier document variable -->
[*formTitleHolder*]
<!-- end formIdentifier document variable -->

<input type="hidden" value="Pro" name="subject"/>
<div style="margin-top: 44px;" class="name">
<label for ="name">Name</label>
<input class="input_txt" type="text" value="" name="name" eform ="Name:string:1"/>
</div>
<!-- companyNameInput -->
[*addInput1*]
<div class="email">
<label for="email">Email Address</label>
<input class="input_txt" type="text" value="" name="email" eform="Email Address:email:1"/>
</div>
<div class="name">
<label for = "phone">Phone</label>
<input class="input_txt" type="text" value="" name="phone" eform="Phone Number:integer:1">
</div>
<!-- domainNameInput -->
[*addInput2*]

<div class="name">
<label for = "message">Message</label>
<textarea style="height: 120px;" name="message"
eform="Message:string:1:please tell us how might be of help?:"> </textarea>
</div>

<div class="captcha_container">
<img alt="verification image" style="padding:4px; border:1px solid #5A5A5A;"
src="[+verimageurl+]" id="captcha"/>
</div>
<div class="message">
<label for ="captcha_code"> Enter Above Characters </label>
<input class="input_txt" type="text" name="captcha_code"/>
</div>
<div class="clear submit_position clear_most">
<input type="submit" class="button_primary" name="submit" type="submit" value="Submit" />
</div>
</form>

Is your form page set to uncachable?

I have the form page set to cacheable (cacheable checked on the settings page). I tried both i.e cacheable checked/unchecked, no difference at all.

Hello,

I have exactly the same problem, but it works from times to times ... (actually, it’s works longer than it bugs)

I get fed up with this pb so I unset the Captcha, because I don’t want my customers to be unable to reach me.
If I have too many spams, I will reset it again.
I hope it will be OK until I found a solution.



Does any one have an idea about what’s happening ? It seams to be linked with the server ...

note : I use MODx with infomaniak

Thank you all

hmmmm... I’ve also started experiencing this problem on one of my modx sites.
The page was set to cacheable so I turned it off, and cleared the cache.
It now works for me fine - but my client is saying he still gets the ’invalid verification code’ error.
I’ve asked him to clear his browser cache and he still gets it.

I have turned it off for now...

I stopped using the default Captcha ages ago, in my opinion it doesn’t work as well as it should in comparison to the rest of the system.

I would suggest using ReCaptcha and to help reduce more Spam use a small snippet that Susan Ottwell came up with:

checkField from Susan

ReCaptcha from Google

Another thing - the eForm snippet that is currently distributed with MODx and the version that is in the repository are well out of date.

I would advise on downloading the zip file attached to this post.

Cheers
