Hi Deron,

This seems to be a ‘feature’ of the EE captcha system. If you refresh the page with the comment form then a new validation word is generated. It seems as if any words generated during your session will be accepted as valid! At least, that is what happens on my install 1.6.0 20070627. I’ll do some digging to see if I can figure out why this is happening.

Cheers

Thanks a lot. I appreciate you checking into it.

I edited the lang.core.php file on two of my sites to reflect correct error messages with the new accessible captcha. One one of my sites, it works great with the new messages. On another site, it doesn’t work. I’ve done the same steps for each site yet one doesn’t change.

If I leave the captcha field blank, I get this message (even though I’ve changed the language core file to say something different)

In order to submit this form, you must complete the captcha field.

It should say:

You must answer the spam question correctly before the form can be submitted

It doesn’t really matter to me what the message says, I’m just curious as to why it would change correctly on one site, and not the other? Any ideas?

Hi,

Hmm. Not really. Are both sites the same EE versions? Frankly, that shouldn’t matter but you never know. Do you wanna send me both of your lang files and I’ll have a look?

Cheers

Yep, same versions, but different builds, so maybe I’ll try that. I never thought about checking the builds before you mentioned it.

Yeah sure, I’ll email them to you. If you have time, take a look, but like I said, it’s not a huge deal.

Hi Deron,

If you are using the Freeform module then the lang.freeform.php file on line 367 (or thereabouts) needs to be changed as well.

Cheers

Drylouvre, thank you!
