Just installed DynForm 2.6 - look great.
I added a CAPTCHA field (using adv. captcha) and it displays as it should. But: when submitting the form the users captcha response is ignored. The form submits whether the captcha field is empty or even if filling out a wrong response.
Shouldn't this work "out-of-thebox" or do I have to setup some validation manually?
Thanks.

Hi Allan,
Here's a couple of things to check:
1. Make sure that the CAPTCHA field is required, and
2. Verify that the server side validation is turned on (in Module Config).
For future releases, we are also reviewing the possibility of 'automatically’ forcing a CAPTCHA field to be required however this would still need to have the admin specify the validation message as well.
Thanks,
Candace

I have done all the above as well -- the captcha field just does not work well for me at all, and I am removing it.
The error messages don't even appear properly for any of my questions -- not even when fields are blank!!
Thank you, Tom |

I found another post which helped fix this -- I made the required field text and the required field error message all both the same for each question in my form.
Maybe now the captcha will work properly for me...it is the most difficult control in this whole app.
Thank you, Tom |

Hi guys... Also keep in mind (as far as the difficulty) that we are working to improve the control within the module. We recently released updates to both Dynamic Forms and Dynamic Registration which allow for an 'Advanced CAPTCHA field' so you might use that option when setting it up as well. You still will have to set the field to be required and so forth as you all have described though.
Thanks,
Chad

Hi, I am working on V3.0 and am having the same problems.
Here is the story:
I had a number of Required Fields working properly, but couldn't get CAPTCHA to respond in any way.
I checked that the CAPTCHA field is 'required' and that 'server-side validation' is on.
However, on removing all the other Required Fields, CAPTCHA would work. (But, in the case of an incorrect entry, the Required Field Error (although configured) will not return.)
Adding one Required Field back into play and CAPTCHA stops performing. Taking it out and all is well again.
I have made the "Required Field Text" and the "Required Field Error" the same (as mentioned in a post above) but no good.
I have tried the whole process with both the DNN CAPTCHA and the Advanced version.
So, it looks like I have either CAPTCHA or other validated fields, but not both. Am I missing something? Regards, Gordon
If I add one o

HI Gordon, I've just duplicated your exact scenario on my local system. I'll discuss this with our chief developer Chad on this issue. -- David |

HI, this started occuring in the newer releases of DNN 5.1 and above. However, the Advanced Captcha works fine so until we figure out this bug, can you switch over to using the Advanced Captcha instead? We're using the Advanced Captcha on Datasprings with DNN 5.1.2 and it's working fine. -- David |

Hi David,
Any fix on this issue? We are using Dynamic Forms 3.4.10 and DNN 5.5.1 and are STILL having the problem mentioned above.
The standard Captcha does not force the user to enter anything into the captcha field. If I make the Captcha field required, then the from never submits, even when I enter the Captcha correctly.
Please advise. |

Hello DNN Guy,
Perhaps you have other fields on your form that isn't posting a validation error, and since your Captcha has been enabled with validation maybe there's confusion of which field is causing the form not to submit.
Please look carefully through the questions in your form and look to see if you have any required fields with regular expressions, SQL validation, or compare validators, that will be triggered if validation fails, but doesn't show an error message.
If you have any questions please let us know.
Thanks,
Ryan |

Thanks for the Reply Ryan.
I ensured that no fields on the form require validation.
When I do this, the forms submits without issue.
I then go into the settings for the Captcha Image (Security Code) field and set the following under the Question Validation section
Required Field: Checked
Required Field Text: Security Code
Required Field Error (i.e. *): *
I then click Update Field
I then click Update Settings
Now when I try to submit the form, I receive a validation error at the top that reads: * Security Code
When I type in the security code exactly as displayed, the form refreshes and I still see the validation message at the top that reads: * Security Code
I can't submit the form.
Please advise. |

Hello DNNguy,
Was the Captcha working before you decided to upgrade to DNN version 5.5.1?? The reason I ask is because this version is very new and may have issues with certain sections.
Also do you possibly have a third-party URL re-writer module that you're using?
In the past people that use URL re-writers have experienced issues with the Captcha field in Dynamic Forms.
Does Advanced Captcha work for you?
Thanks,
Ryan |

Ryan,
This is a straight forward install. It is a fresh install of DNN 5.5.1, so we did not upgrade. The site does not have any 3rd party URL re-writers installed, only what comes with DNN.
Advanced Captcha does seem to work.
