Well, I am not the author nor an authority, but my experiments suggest that this is a BUG.
If you look in websignup.inc.php then the function "getWebSignuptpl()" creates the form, and inside this function there is a line
<?php if ($useCaptcha) { ?>
Trouble is that $useCaptcha is NOT SET inside the function, even if it is correctly set at that point where the function is called - to verify that this is the problem, just put the lines
if (!isset($useCaptcha)) {
print "Hey, useCaptcha not set here":
}
immediately after the line "function getWebSignuptpl()" on line 164 and see what appears on your screen.
I managed to "fix" it by making the function take a parameter
function getWebSignuptpl($useCaptcha)
and then CALLING it with the appropriate value where it is called (line 9)
if (!$tpl) $tpl = getWebSignuptpl($useCaptcha);
<WARNING>
This makes the captcha appear and is a "proof of concept" but it is not a bugfix because I have no idea how the rest of the code is structured and simply randomly altering functions to meet one’s immediate needs is not a proper bug resolution technique. Use at your own risk
</WARNING>
I suggest emailing the author...
Hope this helps..
