I used a very slight variation off that same code base - so let me take a stab at explaining what the general idea is behind how captcha was implemented -
In the view where you're going to display a captcha, generate first a "captcha" that just goes into the database - a combination of a UUID, the text of the captcha, and perhaps a timestamp that limits the time the captcha is valid. I use a limited alphabet to generate a random string. Pass the UUID of the captcha into the view Have a specific view method that takes the UUID, generates the image, and returns it. When the form gets it's data back, make sure you pass through the UUID of that requested captcha (I toss it into a <hidden> field). DO a check between the UUID handed back and the text the user entered - if it's good, nuke the Captcha request in the database and let them move on. Does that help at all? -joe On 2/20/07, Mike <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > Hello, > > Can anyone puke up a simple example of using captcha with Django > forms?
