Peter,

I've seen that error throughout the log file. For me, it's just an annoyance because I am trying to scan the log file for "true" errors. Since the plugin still works, it's sort of a harmless error. I'll keep an eye out for any updates you might post since I'm keen on upgrading anyway.

Cheers...

Do you have version 2.8 or 2.82? Starting from Version 2.81, a very similar error message was prevented from occurring...

I have 2.8. I'll upgrade to 2.82 and see it the message goes away.

Excellent - thank you so much for taking the time to create this plugin! I was just wondering how I can change the font size and/or the size of the image box?

Gotta question about the ttf fonts. Back when I upgraded to the 2.0 whatever version the fonts didn't work anymore. I just upgraded to 2.82 and the fonts still do not work. Any thoughts?

Did you check the diagnostic page at Manage > Custom anti-spam? Maybe you don't have the FreeType library installed in PHP.

Hi. Saw after I posted on the blog that I should've posted here (GULP).

Hi.

I really really people which contribute to the rest of the world and I like your effort with this. I however have a pointer… The word should be randomized since at least my imagination will run out within 100 words.. Is id configurable?

I agree that the captcha should be readable but look here: http://sam.zoy.org/pwntcha/ for inspiration :)

I use jcaptcha.sf.net (look at it) on my site since it is so damn configurable example of my use here: http://www.tailsweep.com/captc.....enderer.do

There are of course a zillion things to add to a captcha to make it unbreakable but then it will most definitely then not be usable. However a random word list is really needed to get an easy share of security (at least a feel of it :) ).

Anyway I’m starting a wpmu blog now so I cannot rely on the things I know best which is Java stuff so I need to rely on cool developers like yourself.

Hope you have a enhancement already in your pocket ready to fire.

Kindly

//Marcus

Thanks for the suggestion, Marcus. I've been thinking about some sort of random list for quite some time... how I will engineer it remains to be seen...

Hi Peter.
I successfully ripped some code from http://www.white-hat-web-desig.....aptcha.php
which I found out is used in the wp-signup-captcha http://wpmudev.org/project/WPM.....up-Captcha

Just comment or remove all refs to $cas_text[] and add this below.

/*
*$cas_text[] = "school";
$cas_text[] = "blogs";
$cas_text[] = "edu";
$cas_text[] = "gidday";
$cas_text[] = "nospam";
$cas_text[] = "chill";
$cas_text[] = "whoa";
$cas_text[] = "blocked";
$cas_text[] = "enjoy";
$cas_text[] = "feast";*/
*/
function generateCode($characters) {
/* list all possible characters, similar looking characters and vowels have been removed */
$possible = '23456789bcdfghjkmnpqrstvwxyz';
$code = '';
$i = 0;
while ($i < $characters) {
$code .= substr($possible, mt_rand(0, strlen($possible)-1), 1);
$i++;
}
return $code;
}

$cas_text[0] = generateCode($characters='6');

Oh sorry to bother again...but I have a suggestion...

Why don't you two developers co-op in the two wpmu projects so you use the same codebase for rendering the captcha. I mean no reinventing the wheel and double smartness involved and someone else which can relieve you of some sharity work which OS can be sometimes.

Just think of it.

It's installed because I have custom headers using TTF fonts. It was just odd that it stopped working.

Hi Peter,

I just installed this version and get the "blank image window". I've read through a ton of posts and i'm not sure where I need to change to make the fonts work. Can you lend a hand. I dont' even have it working but I can tell this plugin is going to be a life saver.

Cheers,
Andy
