Image Match for Form Hack
*********************
What does this mod do you say?
It inserts a captcha image at the bottom of your forms to assist with blocking unwanted bots and pestilence from hammering your forms...
Included in the zip is one xml file, captcha images folder and two php files... Credit goes to ABE1 Form Hack and Solmetra Form ver.1.01...
After setup
*********
Captcha image match works only when submitting or previewing form...
You must insert image match code before submitting or previewing form,,, if incorrect code entered a error message will ask that you return and re-submit code before continuing...

Test box appears, but no image is displayed. Just a red "X".
I think someone dropped the ball here...and this hack is supported?
No offense...but where are the images and fonts? They're definitely not in your download...and neither are the directions.
Another thing...why include a template form? People who use the Form Hack already...looking for a captcha image they can use...would probably just want simple code they can install in the form they've already completed.
I've tried both of the hacks you've provided to this community...and so far...neither of them work.
In the future, you might want to include these little tid-bits in order for the hack to function properly.
Files uplaoded and template modifications made to the form template.
The CAPTCHA image and font now shows on the form...Hooray!
Here are the issues with your hack:
1) Error message for your hack opens a blank page (if the code is entered incorrectly) displaying an error message with the word "incorrect" spelled incorrectly. I fixed that, but feel the error message should be displayed on the same page as the form, in red text and under or above the CAPTCHA image, when the form is submitted.
2) After uploading files and making template changes, there is no email sent to the email address listed in the form hack and no PM sent, either. I believe this is due to the fact the new code we had to edit in the form changed the post action from "newthread.php" to "image_match.php".
The above issues need to be addressed in order for this hack to be a viable hack for anyone. The premise is a good one, however, the submission of the form should follow the same guidelines as any other vbulletin form...such as the contact us form.
Update:Number 2, above, seems to be working now...my bad...I had to correct the $answerall == part on the form.
Also, regarding Number 1 above: If there is a problem with the code entered after clicking "Submit"...instead of redirecting to your error page, how about a vbulletin Message box like the one you'd get if the form was completed succesfully, or if there was a missing field. At least, it would follow the layout of the forum and the form hack itself.

Alternatively, you can use a vbulletin error message...correct?
Any plans to correct the "error" redirect? Or incorporate it into a vbulletin message?
This is a great hack...now that it's working...clicked "Installed".
Why....
I put this together because $imagereg wont allow using in other "form templates"
Not true. I have the built in $imagereg working just fine in my forms. I hope to release it sometime, but it's really low on my priority list right now.
