Captcha Instructions

Note: This tutorial does not use the new reCAPTCHA™ option available under settings.

---

Within Freeway:

Captcha Image

Insert a Graphic Item into the cell to be used for the captcha image.

In the Inspector, go to the third icon at the top, change the type to URL

Captcha Image URL:

http://yoursite.com/yourfoldername/yourFormsToGoScript.php?formstogoimgflt=yes

 

---

Within the Server:

Create a "captcha" folder/directory

(Using Cyberduck or other FTP service of your choice)

Typical path: /public_html/yourForm'sFolderName/captcha

Change the permissions to 777

Click on the "captcha" folder, open "info" (right click for menu)

Within Forms To Go:

Validate Access Code

In Froms To Go, validate the "Access code (Captcha) as in the diagram to the right.

This requires the "Directory for files:" field to be filled-in.

I had many problems trying to get the correct path. Finally, the Forms To Go support team gave me a script that will produce the required path. The instructions for implimenting it follow.

Finding the "Directory for files:" captcha path:

example: /home/stationv/public_html/formstogo/Form/captcha

To find the exact path:
In Freeway, create a new page within the folder containing your form.
Name it: filepath
In the Inspector, change the file name from: filepath.html to filepath.php"
From the Insert Menu, create a "Markup Item"
Enter the following code:

To cut and paste this script copy the red text below, paste it into the "Markup Item" and then add "<" at the beginning and ">" at the end (without the quotes and no spaces) exactly as it is in the image above:

?php

echo $_SERVER["SCRIPT_FILENAME"];

?

Upload

In Safari (or browser of choice), navigate to the page and the path will be reveled.
It will look something like this:
/home/stationv/public_html/formstogo/Form/filepath.php
Copy the path and enter it as indicated above in the "Validate Access Code" section.
Replace: filepath.php with: captcha
It should look like this: /home/yoursitename/public_html/YourFormFolderName/captcha

Click "OK".

Preferences - File Path

From the Menu select Forms To Go/Preferencesset the File Set the Path to "Absolute (it is usually there by default)

 

 

 

 

 

---

Select: Script/Create PHP Script...
Save as usual

That is it!

Give it a test and hopefully all will work beautifully.

Please let me know if there is any way I can improve these instructions.
Thanks, Vic eMail
