Hi Everyone.

I can’t figure out why the captcha images don’t appear on my discussion page.

http://www.terrybarthdesign.com/discussion.html

The page has two chunks:

discussion

[!Jot? &subscribe=`1` &cssFile=`assets/templates/modxhost/jot.css` &placeholders=`1` &output=`0` &pagination=`10` &captcha=`2` &notify=`2` &canmoderate=`admin` &validate=`email:Please enter valid Email address.:email,name:Please enter your name.`!]

   [+jot.html.comments+]

subscribe:

<div id="outer_container"
<div class="content">
<div class="subscribe">

<ul><li><a href=# onclick="cacherVoir('Update2'); return false;">Add a comment</a></li></ul>
</div>

   [+jot.html.subscribe+]

<div id="moderate">
   [+jot.html.moderate+]
   [+jot.html.navigation+]
</div>

<div id="Update2" style="display:none;">
   [+jot.html.form+]
</div>
</div>
</div>

This line is used to hide/show the subscribe section which:

<a href=# onclick="cacherVoir('Update2'); return false;">

I’ve used these these chunks on other pages on this server and it works perfectly. I copied the chunks from the other pages to this one but the captcha isn’t showing.

I don’t know how to trouble shoot this. I would appreciate any thoughts.

Thank you!

You have a following error generating captcha image...

Warning: dir(./ttf) [function.dir]: failed to open dir: No such file or directory in /home/terrybar/public_html/manager/includes/veriword.php on line 111

Fatal error: Call to a member function read() on a non-object in /home/terrybar/public_html/manager/includes/veriword.php on line 113

tkfm Thank you!

I’m still a bit clueless.

1. Where do you see this error msg?

2. I have confirmed that the veriword.php file exists in the manager/includes directory. Line 111 contains the following:

 $dir = dir("./ttf");
$fontstmp = array();
while (false !== ($file = $dir->read())) {
if($file!="." && $file!=".." && file_exists('./ttf/'.$file) && !is_dir('./ttf/' . $file)) {
$fontstmp[] = './ttf/'.$file;
}
}
$dir->close();
$text_font = (string) $fontstmp[array_rand($fontstmp)];

3. I have also confirmed the directory ttf exists in the same location and there is a file called ftb_____.ttf contained within it.

Not sure how interpret this.

Thank you!

I looked into the source code of your web page and found the line which link to the captcha image as follows...

http://www.terrybarthdesign.com/manager/includes/veriword.php?rand=478898482

I copy&pasted this url in the browser and found the error in my previous post.

2. I have confirmed that the veriword.php file exists in the manager/includes directory. Line 111 contains the following:
 $dir = dir("./ttf");

I do not know much about PHP, but your system seems not to be able to read that directory.
Checking the permission of the directory and containd files or re-uploading that directory might make difference...

You were right on the money. The file wasn’t where I thought it was. I had installed it in another directory which was not where I was looking and not where captcha needed it.

I copied the file over and I’m good to go!

Thank you!!
