by tyhodge07 January 16th 2008, 9:25 pm

i signed up, followed all the directions on this link: https://help.forumotion.com/tricks-tips-f32/how-to-add-image-verification-to-your-forum-t9643.htm

but theres a problem, whenever i test it and select the correct picture it brings up an error saying something like an invaled link.. could someone help me.. the script copied from the website for the image verify thing doesnt seem long enough or theres just something about it that looks weird, and i think thats why its not working Sad

hi i worked out that the code has changed for image verification the other day and all you need to do is add this form tag just before the code and just after it:

Code:: <form><imageverifationcode></form>

it works now without the error, but it doesnt come up asking to verify it when i try to register?

by zinex January 17th 2008, 8:18 pm

you have to have the HTML page with the image verification as the registration page, the tutorial i wrote explains how to do this Smile

i cant seem to get which link i need to replace with the new button

and another thing, is register supposed to still be a button when logged in?

You now need to get rid of your direct registration link in the nav bar, and replace it with the image verification page. The only way to do this, is to go into admin>>styles>> headers and set display only images in the nav bar to: yes. Go into modify the pictures and remove the code present for your registration link. Dont replace it just save.

Come back into headers and down to add a link. You will need a button with register on it. Upload it by imageshack, photobucket or servimg. Place the code for it in the picture selected box. Place the URL to your HTML image verification page in the redirect URL and you can add the word verification in the alternative text box. Save the new link and preview your forum. Test it out and you should now have image verification for your forum. Coupled with users having to activate their accounts from their email you should be secure

you MUST have the navigation bar set to images only. You then want to hide your registration button by going into modify the pictures, clicking on the register button and removing the codefor it and saving. You can then follow the second part of the above to make a new registration link.

i made the new registration link, removed the old reg. img code i think it has it as, and marked it as hide too..

by tyhodge07 January 17th 2008, 8:45 pm

the problem is, it keeps register as a button when im logged in, should it be shown or not?

and also the link for the button i cant figure out which one, the one that seems to work is the test http://www.justhumans.com/jh/view/531

by tyhodge07 January 17th 2008, 9:00 pm

and that link only works when im logged in, and the link from the code doesnt work

by zinex January 17th 2008, 9:22 pm

the register button will stay as it is when logged in as its a self added one, not a premade one with the forum. Because you cant edit the default register link thats why you have to make a new register button and add the URL to your HTML page for your image verification. please follow the tutorial as it does work, but you need to follow it exactly.

alright i got it, i found the link, i kept passing over it, i even copied it once and didnt think it was that for some reason, lol.. thanks

what about changing t he forum logo thats at the top to go to the homepage instead of the forum..?

by zinex January 17th 2008, 9:51 pm

unfortunately i dont think thats possible

about your banner ads, if you want to centre them you can add <center> before the code i gave you for them and </center> after the code. if you want to that is! Smile
