All Captchas fail

Hi
I'm unable to use any captcha. As soon as I enable *any* of the captchas offered by the Phoca Guestbook control center, I'm no longer able to post any message. After posting a message Phoca Guestbook gives a warning "Warning: possible spam detected". The message is not saved.
However, if disable all captchas - without changing anything else, I'm able to post a message. What is wrong here?
regards Frank

I did some research and found that phoca guestbook fails in line 39 of file phocaguestbookcaptcha.php. I was using hnCaptcha. And it fails with both: Firefox and iExplore. Unfortunately I've no clue why it fails. Why is there no expected value for the captcha? Maybe some knowleadgeable user can have a look into this?
Code: Select all
$captchaId = $session->get('captcha_id', null, $namespace);
$value_exp = $session->get('captcha_result', null, $namespace);
$session->clear('captcha_id', $namespace);
$session->clear('captcha_result', $namespace);
switch ($captchaId) {
default:
case 1: //COM_PHOCAGUESTBOOK_JOOMLA_CAPTCHA -> do not use this check
return new JException(JText::_('COM_PHOCAGUESTBOOK_POSSIBLE_SPAM_DETECTED' ), "105", E_USER_ERROR, $info, false);
break;
case 2: //COM_PHOCAGUESTBOOK_STANDARD_CAPTCHA
case 3: //COM_PHOCAGUESTBOOK_MATH_CAPTCHA
case 4: //COM_PHOCAGUESTBOOK_TTF_CAPTCHA
case 6: //COM_PHOCAGUESTBOOK_EASYCALC_CAPTCHA
case 8: //COM_PHOCAGUESTBOOK_HN_CAPTCHA
if (!$value_exp) {
here ==> return new JException(JText::_('COM_PHOCAGUESTBOOK_POSSIBLE_SPAM_DETECTED' ), "105", E_USER_ERROR, $info, false);
} else if (!$value) {
return new JException(JText::_('COM_PHOCAGUESTBOOK_WRONG_CAPTCHA' ), "105", E_USER_ERROR, $info, false);
} else if ($value != $value_exp) {
return new JException(JText::_('COM_PHOCAGUESTBOOK_WRONG_CAPTCHA' ), "105", E_USER_ERROR, $info, false);
}
break;

Hello Jan
Thank you for your reply. I'm using com_phocaguestbook_v3.0.4. The file is /public_html/cms2/components/com_phocaguestbook/models/rules/phocaguestbookcapthcha.php. It fails in line 39 of this file.
regards Frank

Hi, this means, the captcha code was added wrong? Did you try to test to disable cache? Maybe some problem with cache?

I didn't enable caching, so I don't think caching is enabled somehow.
The plugin "System - Seitencache" ("System - pagecache") is disabled. Are there any other places, where caching could be enabled?

Hi, hmmm, then it seems, this is not a cache problem. Can I see the site where this occurs?

Yes. It is
www.frank-beris.de/cms2/guestbook
You can try to post a message and you will see, that all trials fail with the mentioned warning.

But it does not work generally. Occasionally it did work for me too. But in over 80% it fails. Try it again.
