Another CAPTCHA problem

After upgrading from 1.2 (I think) to the latest version the CAPTCHA image is not working. It is just a blank image with a red X.
Worked fine with the old version and the site has GD Support enabled. The html-link to the image is
Code: Select all
<img src="/index.php/guestbook/1?phocasid=650d778acf84ac2b2db2a0643fad6924" alt="" id="phocacaptcha" />
But this doesn't give me any hint to whats wrong. I can see a few others are having CAPTCHA-problems. Solutions anyone?
site :
http://www.the-sunflower.com --> Guestbook
Update:
I can see there is a change on the CAPTCHA-part from the old version.
Code: Select all
<td width="5" align="left" valign="middle"><?php echo JHTML::_( 'image.site', 'index.php?option=com_phocaguestbook&view=phocaguestbooki&phocasid='. md5(uniqid(time())), '', '','',JText::_('Captcha Image'), array('id' => 'phocacaptcha')); ?></td>
This part is commented out (when uncommented the images will show fine, but not working) and replaced with this (where it doesn't work)
Code: Select all
<img src="<?php echo JRoute::_('index.php?option=com_phocaguestbook&view=phocaguestbooki&id='.$this->id.'&Itemid='.$this->itemid.'&phocasid='. md5(uniqid(time()))) ; ?>" alt="<?php JText::_('Captcha Image'); ?>" id="phocacaptcha" />

Here is what I did to solve the problem - maybe not the best way, but it works
Modify the php-file : /components/com_phocaguestbook/views/phocaguestbook/tmpl/default.php
Locate this section (around line 314) copy/ paste this section between the <TD></TD> tags
Code: Select all
<td width="5" align="left" valign="middle">
<?php //echo JHTML::_( 'image.site','index.php?option=com_phocaguestbook&view=phocaguestbooki&id='.$this->id.'&Itemid='.$this->itemid.'&phocasid='. md5(uniqid(time())), '', '','',JText::_('Captcha Image'), array('id' => 'phocacaptcha')); ?>
<!-- <img src="<?php echo JRoute::_('index.php?option=com_phocaguestbook&view=phocaguestbooki&id='.$this->id.'&Itemid='.$this->itemid.'&phocasid='. md5(uniqid(time()))) ; ?>" alt="<?php JText::_('Captcha Image'); ?>" id="phocacaptcha" />
-->
<?php echo JHTML::_( 'image.site','index.php?option=com_phocaguestbook&view=phocaguestbooki&id='.$this->id.'&Itemid='.$this->itemid.'&phocasid='. md5(uniqid(time())) , '', '','',JText::_('Captcha Image'), array('id' => 'phocacaptcha')); ?>
</td>
In other words - I just modified the new line <IMG SRC=... with the old one
Code: Select all
<?php echo JHTML::_( 'image.site','index.php?option=com_phocaguestbook&view=phocaguestbooki&id='.$this->id.'&Itemid='.$this->itemid.'&phocasid='. md5(uniqid(time())) , '', '','',JText::_('Captcha Image'), array('id' => 'phocacaptcha')); ?>

Hi, the problem is, SEF in Joomla is very problematic... the code is commented, because on some servers, this will cause problems, on some server other solution works ... but no idea why? the linkd is created by JRoute method which should create the right link... but not everywhere
so if it works for you, then this is great, maybe this solution will help other people too ...
