The Bakery Everything CakePHP

Hey, this is a handy component. I was just looking for this.

Here are a few things i noticed:

on line 14 of captcha.php:
$imagesPath = realpath(VENDORS . 'phpcaptcha').'/fonts/';
if your vendors path is inside your app directory, you need something like this:

$imagesPath = APP . 'vendors' . DS . 'phpcaptcha'.'/fonts/';

also, for the validation, i changed:

function validateCaptcha($fieldName, $params){
        $caseInsensitive = true;
to :

function validateCaptcha($fieldName, $caseInsensitive = true){

since the $params var is not used in the function, and it's handy to have the case sensitivity as a parameter.

Also, for anyone using this who is also using sessions (either Cake's or your own), be sure to look at the vendor file php-captcha.inc and comment out line 46, where the script calls session_start() , or you will definitely experience some session problems.

Thanks for the work, Spout.

Have anybody got solution.
Thank!!

Ok, i was able to make this work.

Although, i am a bit clueless. On how will i add an error message on the template itself. Here are sample of my codes.

Controller Class:

<?php 
...
if (empty($this->data))
{
    $this->render();
}
else
{

    if ($this->Email->save($this->data))
    {
    if ($this->Captcha->check($this->data['Email']['userCode'])) { 
        
    // Flash that it has been sent
    $this->flash('Your email has been sent.','/emails');
            
    }
        
    }
    else
    {
        $this->set('errorMessage', 'Please correct errors below.');
        $this->render();
    }

}
...
?> I was able to validate the usual fields i added:

View Template:


...
<label>Name:</label>
<?php echo $html->input('Email/name', array('class' => 'input', 'style' => 'width: 200px;')); ?>
<?php echo $html->tagErrorMsg('Email/name', 'Name is required.'); ?>
<label>Message:</label>
<?php echo $html->textarea('Email/message', array('rows'=>'10', 'cols'=>'40')); ?>
<?php echo $html->tagErrorMsg('Email/message', 'Message is required.'); ?>

<label>Captcha:</label>
<?php echo $html->input('Email/userCode', array('class' => 'input', 'style' => 'width: 200px;')); ?>
<?php echo $html->tagErrorMsg('Email/userCode', 'Captcha is required.'); ?>
...


which is name and message and captcha (if its empty only).

But to show that what you typed is wrong, i don't know what to do.
Please help!

This is what I had to do to get Captcha component working with validator (CakePHP 1.2). It is quiet easy but I had some troubles to understand the new validation process. Hope it will help somebody else.

Model Class:

<?php 

    $validate = array(
        'captcha' => array (
            'validateCaptcha' => array (
                'rule' => 'validateCaptcha',
                'message' => 'Your captcha error message'
            )
        )
    );

    function validateCaptcha($check) {
        if (!defined('CAPTCHA_SESSION_ID')) {
            define('CAPTCHA_SESSION_ID', 'php_captcha');
        }

        if (!empty ($_SESSION[CAPTCHA_SESSION_ID]) && $check == $_SESSION[CAPTCHA_SESSION_ID]) {
            unset ($_SESSION[CAPTCHA_SESSION_ID]);
            return true;
        }
        return false;
    }
?>
Note that the field $validate has been declared in my child model class called "Post" and the method validateCaptcha is in the parent AppModel class.

My captcha validation is working properly in FF,but the Reload Image link is not working in the internet explorer.

Can any body suggest me actualy where i am wrong

Waiting for a reply

I tried it on Windows using CakePHP 1.2alpha and PHP 5. It's giving me an "X" image on IE and FF. I've read the post by Manuel Dorado but my gd library is already working.

Your help is greatly appreciated.

Thank you.

also trying to get it work on 1.2.
seems like the response headers are already sent and php-captcha.inc.php kannt set the mime-type header to image/jpg

hehe

der was an space after my closing ?> tag in captcha.php which caused the headers to be send...

:-)

Thanks for the submission, I had captcha working within minutes with no trouble at all!

p.s. it seems I'm not able to rate anything on Bakery, as soon as this issue is fixed I'll give it a 5 :-)

hi ! first thanks for this great component.
phpcaptcha works fine on mine server as standalone. so all libs a working properly.

if i want to use it within my controller, i just got an "broken-image" in IE or the url in Firefox.
when viewing the source i noticed, that there are html-elements.. looks like some parts of my layout...
maybe this causes the failure?

i got absolutely no idea why my layout is used.
even a

Controller Class:

<?php 
    function captcha_image()
    {    
        $this->layout = FALSE;
        $this->Captcha->image();
    }
?>
won't work.. any ideas on that?

i just noticed that before output, starts, there are
THREE BLANK SPACES and i can't explain where they are from. even with no layout - these spaces are there..

but guess what: they are on every page generated within cakephp. on every site 3 blank spaces at the beginning. anyone has an idea which scripts generates them? maybe because of them already html output has been startet and the image could be displayed.

thx in advance for every help ( if i get some ^^ )

I'm not seeing where I can download this component, something wrong with the bakery?

Hi, I see that many people have problems with phpcaptcha working on cakephp 1.2 so I paste here version which runs perfectly:

Component Class:

<?php 
App::import('Vendor','PhpCaptcha' ,array('file'=>'phpcaptcha/php-captcha.php'));
        
class CaptchaComponent extends Object
{
    var $controller;
 
    function startup( &$controller ) {
        $this->controller = &$controller;
    }

    function image(){
        
        $imagesPath = APP . 'vendors' . DS . 'phpcaptcha'.'/fonts/';
        
        $aFonts = array(
            $imagesPath.'VeraBd.ttf',
            $imagesPath.'VeraIt.ttf',
            $imagesPath.'Vera.ttf'
        );
        
        $oVisualCaptcha = new PhpCaptcha($aFonts, 200, 60);
        
        $oVisualCaptcha->UseColour(true);
        //$oVisualCaptcha->SetOwnerText('Source: '.FULL_BASE_URL);
        //$oVisualCaptcha->SetNumChars(6);
        $oVisualCaptcha->Create();
    }
    
    function audio(){
        $oAudioCaptcha = new AudioPhpCaptcha('/usr/bin/flite', '/tmp/');
        $oAudioCaptcha->Create();
    }
    
    function check($userCode, $caseInsensitive = true){
        if ($caseInsensitive) {
            $userCode = strtoupper($userCode);
        }
        
        if (!empty($_SESSION[CAPTCHA_SESSION_ID]) && $userCode == $_SESSION[CAPTCHA_SESSION_ID]) {
            // clear to prevent re-use
            unset($_SESSION[CAPTCHA_SESSION_ID]);
            
            return true;
        }
        else return false;
        
    }
}
?>
This is action which renders captcha:


  function captcha_image()
  {
    Configure::write('debug',0);
    $this->layout = null;  
    $this->Captcha2->image();
    $this->render();
  } 


Hi,

I am facing a big problem with show error massage while validating the Captcha code.

I am giving my code...

var $validate = array('captcha' => array('checkv' => array ('rule' =>'checkv','message' => 'put correct value')));

and my validation model function is

function checkv($userCode1){
$userCode = $userCode1['captcha'];
$caseInsensitive = true;
if ($caseInsensitive) {
$userCode = strtoupper($userCode);
}
//echo $userCode." ".$_SESSION[CAPTCHA_SESSION_ID];
if (!empty($_SESSION[CAPTCHA_SESSION_ID]) && $userCode == $_SESSION[CAPTCHA_SESSION_ID]) {
// clear to prevent re-use
unset($_SESSION[CAPTCHA_SESSION_ID]);

return true;
}
else return false;

}

But this code is giving an error massage...


Warning: preg_match() expects parameter 1 to be string, array given in cake/libs/model/model_php5.php on line 1385

And this is actually not validate when I am giving correct code for captche.

Please help me.

Thanks

Hi All

I am facing a problem with adding multiple component.

I am giving my Controller code....


class ContactsController extends AppController
{
var $name = 'Contacts';
var $layout = 'contact_template';
var $components = array('Captcha','Email');
// use component email

function index()
{
if (!empty($this->data))
{
$this->Contact->set($this->data);

if($this->Contact->validates())
{
$postValid = TRUE;
if(!empty($this->data['Contact']['captcha']))
{
$trfl = $this->Captcha->check($this->data['Contact']['captcha']);
if($trfl == false)
{
$this->Contact->invalidate('captcha');
$postValid = FALSE;
}
}
if($postValid)
{
$tr = $this->Contact->sendmail($this->data['Contact']);
if($tr)
{

//@mail("projjwal@indusnet.co.in",$sub,$massage,"From: Projjwal ");
//$this->set('data', $this->data);
$this->Email->to = 'projjwal@indusnet.co.in';
$this->Email->subject = 'your new Contact';

$result = $this->Email->send();
$this->flash('A mail has been send to admin.','/contacts',2);
}else
{
$this->render();
}
}else
{

$this->render();
}
}else
{
$this->render();
}
}else
{
$this->render();
}

}
function captcha_image()
{
$this->Captcha->image();

}

function captcha_audio()
{
$this->Captcha->audio();
}

}
?>
When I am using this code the Captcha is not working.
When I am removing the Email from the $components array
it's working fine.

Can any one tell me why it's happenning?

Thanks in advance.

Hi,

I had basically the same problem. When I noticed that the problem only occured with e-mail component, I realized that I copied and pasted the code of the e-mail component from the cakebaker website.

Another component did not have the issue. So I took the file of this component, copied the code for the captcha component into this file, removed the original code and renamed the file to captcha.php. And guess what .. it worked.

Really strange.

Hi,

I have another problem with keeping the S_SESSION variables. I found out that in some circumstances, the $_SESSION varialbes are unset when vendor phpcaprcha.php send a header request, telling the browser that a jpeg file is send. Commenting out this line, and the $_SESSION variables can be retrieved later on.

The strange thing is that it happens not always. I have a test and a stage environment, on the test environment the issue does not occur, while the ocde is the same. Aslo it worked on the stage environment, until today.

Anybody has a clue why this is happening ?

Thanks in advance,

Martijn

I solved it, because there are a solution for cake 1.2

Hello together,

i used this code in cakePHP 1.2
in my template.

<img id="captcha" src="<?php echo $html->url('/users/captcha_image');?>" alt="" />
 <a href="javascript:void(0);" onclick="javascript:document.images.captcha.src='<?php echo $html->url('/users/captcha_image');?>?' + Math.round(Math.random(0)*1000)+1">Reload image</a> 
But i get no Picture there ar only a link 'Reload Image'. But No Pict. I allowed all scripts and use ff. What sould i do now. In Konqueror it doesn't run.

I solved it, because there are a solution for cake 1.2


The solution to this problem is to replace (in captcha.php),

vendor('phpcaptcha'.DS.'php-captcha.inc');

with

App::import('Vendor', 'phpcaptcha/php-captcha.inc');

since vendor(); is depreciated.

I follow all the rules for creating components but still cant get image..
It shows me imagebox but I cant found image..

I tried almost every thing but cant get image..

Please help me out..

What should i name my component..

Only the reload image is shown.. help pls

1) Rename vendors/phpcaptcha/php-captcha.inc.php file to phpcaptcha.php

2) In controllers/components/captcha.php change the line
vendor('phpcaptcha'.DS.'php-captcha.inc');
to
App::import('Vendor', 'phpcaptcha/phpcaptcha');

Hope that works.

I'm having problems getting this working in 1.2

Checklist:
- vendors/phpcaptcha
- vendors/phpcaptcha/fonts
- rename phpcaptcha.inc.php to phpcaptcha.php
- update the App:import
- update the $imagesPath variable

When I run /controller/captcha_image I get an error saying that the view does not exist.

Do I need to create a views/controller/captcha_image.ctp ? If so what do I need to insert into that?

Great plugin though - just wish I could get it to work :(

i also get the same problem, Image is not shown in myn browser only image reload link only shown..

Can anyone pleasce help me out....
