It may be that you have no GD library support on your PHP server.

Hi Tracy

 

It will be a client or server caching issue. Try the following:

 

Example in create_account.php change

 

$validation_images = tep_image('validation_png.php?rsid=' . $new_guery_anti_robotreg['session_id']);

 

to

 

$validation_images = tep_image('validation_png.php?rsid=' . $new_guery_anti_robotreg['session_id'] . '&' . time() . '.png');

 

This forces a change to the url on each refresh by appending a parameter based on the current time.

 

Good luck!

 

Thanks Tone!! This solved the only slight glitch I had - everything's working great! :thumbsup:

Ok thanks for that. Can you try the following piece of code and let me know if it produces the text 'Simple Text' in a rectangle please.

 

<?php
header ("Content-type: image/png");
$im = @imagecreatetruecolor(120, 20)
    or die("Cannot Initialize new GD image stream");
$text_color = imagecolorallocate($im, 233, 14, 91);
imagestring($im, 5, 5, 5,  "Simple Text", $text_color);
imagepng($im);
imagedestroy($im);
?> 

 

Thanks, Tone.

me again, just wanna say that it works now when I turned "Use TrueType fonts?" off.

Hi Dennis

 

As long as GD is installed on your PHP server you could try uploading a truetype font to your server and providing the full server path to the uploaded font for the 'TrueType font used' in Admin. eg as a test if you uploaded arial.ttf from your windows/fonts folder to ..somepath.../images/fonts/arial.ttf you would enter ...somepath.../image/fonts/arial.ttf in Admin. You could then try turning TrueType back on.

?>

nope that did not work got the error "message Cannot Initialize new GD image stream", so what I did was to use an alternative server (I used my freinds web server) and it wokrs a treat!! so so I upload the newer version validation_png.php and that works aswell plus all the other stuff aswell but the text was rather small. so I have logged the GD issue with my web server hosting company to resolve thanks for the Help!!!!!! :) I hope they sort it out soon

.......

If you want to use your own truetype fonts you can set this variable to point to a directory of your own using PHP for example something like:

 

<?php
// Set the enviroment variable for GD fonts
putenv('GDFONTPATH=' . 'images/fonts/'));
?>

 

Good luck, Tone.

 

my host do not have any opentype fonts instaled so i wanted to add the arial for my self.

when added these lines to validation_png.php, i got no image at all.

where exactly do i add these lines? and do i usethe full path /hsphere/local/bla/bla/domain.com/images/fonts or just images/fonts/ ?

 

at th moment t is working fine with the php bitmap font, but it looks shabby, truetype will look so much better.

 

thanks in advance to any help you can give

I have installed this contrib on my test site. Took a little effort but may well be worth it.

 

I had to do the following to make it work tho

 

Change

$validation_images = tep_image('validation_png.php?rsid=' . $new_guery_anti_robotreg['session_id']);

 

to

 

$validation_images = '<img src="validation_png.php?rsid=' . $new_guery_anti_robotreg['session_id'] . '">';

 

I also had to use the 2.5 version of catalog\validation_png.php

as the 2.6 version just leaves me with a black box.

 

Is there a fix so I can use the 2.6version of validation_png.php

 

Regards

Shaun

Turning true type fonts off in admin would have fixed the Black box and the png issue

Find in the v2.6 validation_png.php around line 72:

if (ANTI_ROBOT_IMAGE_USE_TTF=='true') {

 

Add after:

putenv('GDFONTPATH=' . DIR_FS_CATALOG . 'images/fonts/');

 

And then upload your fonts to catalog/images/fonts/ folder.

 

In the admin settings, you need to put in the font filename with extension. e.g. arial.ttf (case sensitive).

Hi Alex,

I'm running Anti Robot Registration Validation 2.4.01 which was previously working fine on both my live site and my test site.

But now - I can't see the images on my live site. :(

 

I've been doing a lot of changes this week:

1) just installed update 060817, minus the country fix (which introduces a new bug in general.php) - I'm quite sure the images were on both sites after that.

2) I just reinstalled OS Commerce under a new database, I uploaded all my files, and restored my old database.

3) I had a problem changing my admin password - turns out that the htaccess file was pointing to /shop instead of / - my host found this for me and changed it - had to give them my access details for them to solve. But have now changed my log-in details. (strangely I later today found I could write to the configure file (was fine earlier) so I changed permissions)

 

I tried to test:

1) Live site - using http://mysite.co.uk/validation_png.php?rsi...xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx and the image shows there

2) test site - there is no session_id shown in phpmyadmin

 

Have I missed something out in my re-install?? strange how there are problems with both sites - is it the 060817 update to blame?

 

I don't know where to start - I have tried to read through the thread to no avail.

 

Please help

Tiger

I'm feeling lucky today......maybe someone will answer my post!

Although 060817 is buggy and suspicious, I did test v2.4-v2.6 of this contribution with 060817 release and all worked. Since you have done so many things to your site, it's pretty difficult to tell what went wrong.

 

The post-installation test you did with your live site showed the image, but you don't see it in the pages like create_account.php or contatc_us.php. This can be fixed easily with the <img src=""> tag (search in this thread a few pages back).

 

No session_id shown in phpmyadmin in your test site. Please check your sessions table and see if any sessions logged in there. Also check the database user/password and db access right of your test site. And check your cookie domain and cookie path settings. Either your sessions/cookies were not setup correctly, or your database is not accessable.

Excellent. Thanks for all your help here.

For those that are using imagemagic just point the code to your existing fonts folder:

putenv('GDFONTPATH=' . DIR_FS_CATALOG . 'includes/imagemagic/fonts/');

 

Works like a champ.

Does your store have a dedicated SSL certificate? You can't set 'force use of cookies' to true if you're using shared SSL.

Hi Alex, thanks for a speedy reply. I did look for the posts but it's not entirely clear - not everyone says the exact file to change.

I'm going to concentrate on the live site to begin with -

 

today I tried to run the test and I get the gray speckled background but no characters (version 2.4.01 ).

 

Really don't know where to start. Damn, I'm normally so careful - learned my lesson this time - make changes and test test test before making more changes! :'(
