Booking forms in 2.0.17 have CAPTCHA appearing twice

[Anonymous]

I upgraded from 2.0.16 to 2.0.17. The event booking forms now have the CAPTCHA image and text box appearing twice. There are also some curly brackets. It appears as:

Form elements…

CAPTCHA image
CAPTCHA text box
{
CAPTCHA image
CAPTCHA text box
}

Submit booking button

Best regards,

I’m not able to reproduce that. See here:

What does your RSVP template look like?

The template ends:

Additional Comments
#_COMMENT
#_CAPTCHAHTML{
Copy CAPTCHA Text
#_CAPTCHA
}
#_SUBMIT

Maybe this is legacy and I just need the following?

Additional Comments
#_COMMENT
Copy CAPTCHA Text
#_CAPTCHA
#_SUBMIT

You have newlines inside your #_CAPTCHAHTML, this is the cause (and not allowed in fact, but now those get correctly translated to <br /> too and that will cause your problem).
So just remove that, or do your suggestion (if you know you’re using captcha, your suggestion is ok).
I’ll try your #_CAPTCHAHTML too, to be sure (but in fact I should remove #_CAPTCHAHTML support anyway and make people use templates for rsvp)

I edited the RSVP template as you suggested and it has broken the booking pages on the website, in both 2.0.16 and 2.0.17.

See for example: https://cfd.direct/openfoam-training/berlin/
where I now have 2.0.17 installed. The right hand menu has disappeared under the footer.

Even when I reinstate the original text in the RSVP template, it is still broken. I think I created the templates before the HTML editor was introduced there, so the data being saved is different from the original stored data.

Ignore previous report. I think I have found the issue.

I got the booking forms all working and I am now up to date with 2.0.17

I found that even if I removed blank lines in #_CAPTCHAHTML, it still produced the result in my initial report when using 2.0.17.

In short, in 2.0.17 #_CAPTCHAHTML appears to behave like #_CAPTCHA. So you get a CAPTCHA, then verbatim printing of “{” and “}”.

My fix in 2.0.17 was just removing #_CAPTCHAHTML, i.e. using:

Copy CAPTCHA Text
#_CAPTCHA
#_SUBMIT

Anyway, thanks for providing the pointers to help resolve this. Appreciated, as always.

I’m sure #_CAPTCHAHTML works as expected (I have it on my site), but again: it is ‘old’ and I’m deprecating it …
