    Been many questions on this but none have had a solution and they are quite dated now so here it goes - a contact form has been receiving a lot of SPAM lately so we want to add a VeriCode on it. We are usign eForms which has the vericode option

    Here is what we have in the form

    Please enter the anti spam code below:

    <img src="[+verimageurl+]" alt="verification code" border="1" />
    </p>
    <p>
    <label accesskey="c" for="vericode">code</label>
    <input type="text" name="vericode" size="20" class="inputSmall" />
    VeriCode is initialised [!eForm? &formid=feedbackForm &tpl=contactForm &report=contactFormEmail &[email protected] &subject=Website Contact Form &vericode=1!]

    GD Support enabled GD Version bundled (2.0.34 compatible) FreeType Support enabled FreeType Linkage with freetype FreeType Version 2.3.11 GIF Read Support enabled GIF Create Support enabled JPG Support enabled PNG Support enabled WBMP Support enabled XPM Support enabled XBM Support enabled

    I have attempted to re-upload the files, edit permissions, modify htaccess to give explicit permissions to that file as well as moving it out of the secured /manager/ area and the problem still persists. It seems common enough but not common enough for there to be a fix or any straight forward public solution?

    Any help on this matter would be appreciated.

      It's been a long time since I've used eForm, but it may use the Captcha extra -- be sure it's installed.

      If it's a standard contact form, you might want to look at SPForm as an alternative.

        Seems pretty similar to my recent post:

        I recently upgraded to Evo 1.0.14 and the captcha noises in Jot were failing to show. I had to edit assets/snippets/jot/templates/chunk.form.inc.html and change:
        [+jot.captcha:is=`1`:then=`....<img src="[(modx_manager_url)]includes/veriword.php...
        to
         [+jot.captcha:is=`1`:then=`....<img src="manager/includes/veriword.php...

        to get it to work.

        I'm sure there is a similar file you can edit for eform.

        This is how I fixed it, not sure if it is the right thing to do though (hence my post) smiley
