Captcha problems, enable_captcha variable

[joeboxer35]

Running into some problems with the captcha feature in Pligg 9.0.

New user registration with Captcha was working fine on the site (http://www.ThinkAerospace.com).

But after downloading some of the updated SVN files it no longer works.

I notice in register.php there are two lines with

if(enable_captcha == 'true')

To get captcha to work again, I had to effectively disable this line by changing it to

if(enable_captcha == 'true' || 1)

Obviously, this is not the way to do it. But it is my temporary work around.

Where is the enable_captcha variable set? I couldn't find it any any of the admin configuration screens, in options.php or any other file.

Oddly, I can't find it any previous versions of Pligg. Which makes me think that I broke something when I downloaded the SVN files.

You need to add a field to your config table. Don't copy and paste from this file but you can look at it and see what you need to add to your config table. It's the very last entry on tis list. http://pligg.svn.sourceforge.net/vie...11&view=markup

Thanks, that took care of the problem.

But I'm not sure why it happened in the first place. A fresh 9.0 install and captcha works. SVN updates without changing the config tables, and enable_captcha record was gone.

Obviously I did something, just can't track it down. Glad it is resolved now.
