Go Back - Security Code - New registration

Posted: Mon Nov 10, 2008 7:52 pm

This is kind of a stupid little bug, but when you are registering and you type the wrong security code, and then use the "Go Back" button you can never get the code right. The reason being it uses the javascript:history function and the code does not refresh.

Yes you're right... maybe we can implement a simple reload button to workaround this.

Thoughts????

That would be a partial fix, but the only real way to fix it would be to directly link to the page. Not sure if that is possible because I am not sure how the page is set up.

OR

It needs to reload the page with the error at the top with the data filled in, not on a separate page. Like the feedback module.

That way we'll need to recode a lot of modules, cause if we only link to the previous page (no jaba$cr1pt) all posted info will be lost, instead all info will need to be posted back to the original module/page, and this will require some big changes on both faces of the coin.

Why would you need to recode a lot of other modules? I believe the other modules are fine.

I don´t have any problems with the current behavior of the captcha and I don´t would call it a bug if you need to refresh a site.
It´s just soooooooooooooo much better than the old security code. Smile

What really counts is that autmatic spam bots don´t register .
Its possible that there are changes and enhancements regarding the captcha in the future but I´m quite sure this will take some time.

I did not mean completely recode modules making use of the captcha, but the bunch of code in charge of displaying data will need some hardwork to do.

I'll need to look at what is going on before I comment any further Smile

I think the easiest thing to do would be change the the GFX check in new_finish.php. Instead of using the javascript history, just make it a form that posts the data back to new_confirm.php. new_confirm.php is already setup to recieve it anyway because that is how it gets the data in the first place. Thoughts?

Palbin, I agree and it is what I had done previously in the prior RN versions. I just forgot that I had done that and so didn't check for that in RNYA.
