[Done!] Join Us! form

[durgia]

wow... I deserve a smack in the head.... that is so simple!

I spent a fair bit of time trying to get rid of the code and never even thought once to make 2 separate pieces ...


thank you!

HI all,

I need some adivce, I got this script working a treat thanks very much, however I get this error on every submit:

"Connection Problems
Sorry, SMF was unable to connect to the database. This may be caused by the server being busy. Please try again later."

It does not even reach the Thank You article, however it is adding the posts and emailing me the applications.

I have not altered the code other than simple text and email address, so no point in pasting it all again

Cheers

I've had similar problems, due to extra security provided by the host. Not saying that is the problem here, but with dreamhost I have to remove the extra security to my domains because it's blocks certain characters in the session within the URL.

I dont know if anyone else is interested in adding reCaptcha in the form but im trying to add it because im having the form visible by guests because i dont want people registering for just a form.

Providing that you already have an account with reCaptcha and already having reCaptcha for SMF installed you get the following code from reCaptcha's site:


This is the code to display reCaptcha:

Code Select Expand

require_once('recaptchalib.php');
$publickey = "..."; // you got this from the signup page
echo recaptcha_get_html($publickey);



This is the code to validate reCaptcha:

Code Select Expand

require_once('recaptchalib.php');
$privatekey = "...";
$resp = recaptcha_check_answer ($privatekey,
                                $_SERVER["REMOTE_ADDR"],
                                $_POST["recaptcha_challenge_field"],
                                $_POST["recaptcha_response_field"]);

if (!$resp->is_valid) {
  die ("The reCAPTCHA wasn't entered correctly. Go back and try it again." .
       "(reCAPTCHA said: " . $resp->error . ")");
}


Any help in which part to put the code in JPDeni's form will be greatly appreciated. Im having problems with the validation part of the code.

[JPDeni]

It would go after

Code Select Expand


if (isset($_REQUEST['submitted'])) {  // Handle the form


I don't know anything about the code, though, so I can't help any more than that.

[Inny]

Works like a charm, thanks again.

On a side note the recaptcha box shows in the top of the page. Thats how it is currently.

Code Select Expand

echo recaptcha_get_html($publickey);
  echo '
     <br><TR class ="' . $bg . '">
      <TD colspan="2" align="center">
        <INPUT type="submit" value="Submit">
        <INPUT type="reset" value="Reset"></TD>
    </TR></TABLE></center></form>';
}


If i move

Code Select Expand

echo recaptcha_get_html($publickey);

i either get a PHP error or not correct validation of the words. Is there any way to make the form appear first? I believe its something to do with the echo' being after the echo for the recaptcha but putting that echo before causes PHP error.

Adding a sampe of my code:

Code Select Expand

global $sourcedir, $user_info, $context ;

require_once($sourcedir . '/Subs.php');
require_once($sourcedir .'/Subs-Post.php');
require_once($sourcedir .'/recaptchalib.php');
$publickey = "........."; // you got this from the signup page

The last bit of the code needs some work so recaptcha box appears either after the submit button or before but cant be outside of the </form> tag.

[JPDeni]

The reason it shows in the top is that you have it in the midst of a table, but you don't have it in a table row. The browser doesn't know where to put it, so it puts it on top.

I don't know where you moved the code to and got an error, but this should work:

Code Select Expand


echo '<TR class ="' . $bg . '"><td colspan="2" align="center">' . recaptcha_get_html($publickey) . '</td></tr>';
    if ($bg == 'windowbg2') { $bg = 'windowbg'; }
    else { $bg = 'windowbg2'; }
  echo '
     <br><TR class ="' . $bg . '">
      <TD colspan="2" align="center">
        <INPUT type="submit" value="Submit">
        <INPUT type="reset" value="Reset"></TD>
    </TR></TABLE></center></form>';


This even keeps the alternate colors for the rows, so your form has a unified appearance.

[Inny]

Really thanks, i dont know how to thank you but if you ever come to Cyprus (if you know where that is) i will buy coffee for you. 

[JPDeni]

Yes, I know where Cyprus is. I would love to come. I understand that it's beautiful.

You're very welcome. If you would like to pay me back, when you see someone who needs a cup of coffee but can't afford it, buy it for him. That would be thanks enough for me.

[Inny]

I decided to not go with ReCaptcha because you need to have the mod installed in order to work.

So i was working a bit with the code to add SMF visual verification system.

1) When you view the application next to the code it says "Not defined yet"
