FormBuilder and changine Captcha error text

Post by palan »

In FormBuilder, and in the Captcha settings of any given form: When entering text in the 'Help text for Captcha' and 'Failed text for Captch' boxes it will only save the text entered in the 'Help...' box, but the 'Failed...' text will not change. In other words I cannot change the default text: 'Captcha was not correct'.

Could this a permission problem with a particular file? Or do all the folders/files in the captcha directory need to be 777? Or database issue?

Changing Unmask does not seem to help. Not sure if this is related though.

Other than this the module seems to work ok.

I've searched the forum but cannot find an answer (apart from a thread related to language).

CMSMS 1.2
FormBuilder 0.4.4
Captcha 0.3

Any ideas appreciated.

palan,

two things,

frist make sure that the folder "Captcha/images/captchas" has full permissions, as CMS has to write there and the user must be able to see the created image.

Second, if that doesnt work, try PhpCaptcha instead of hn_Captcha. I found that that one "PhpCaptcha" works better in refreshing the image after having made a mistake in a form, better as well.

Hi Ronny,

Full permissions are set on the folders you mentioned.

The form works fine with images showing and submits ok in both PhpCaptcha and hn_Captcha.

It's just the default text: 'Captcha was not correct', that is submitted on error that I cannot change.

Same problem: I'd like to translate 'Captcha was not correct' into German, but it doesn't let me.  :(

Is there a solution for this problem already?

I was able to change the Captcha error text by changing this line in the FormBuilder language file:

Change this line:
$lang['wrong_captcha']='Captcha was not correct.';
In this file:
modules/FormBuilder/lang/en_US.php
