Contact us: Empty captcha value
Hi,
We need tu use captchas on our tiki (21.1 at the moment, not updated to 22 due to php 7.4 problems impeding local testing)
it seems that there is a bug since tiki18: when using captcha, there is always an error message:"!invalid empty CPATCHA value", and no message is sent.
this can be seen there:
http://demo.tiki.org/21x/tiki-contact.php (21.3)
http://demo.tiki.org/20x/tiki-contact.php (20.4)
And we don't want to alternatively use a tracker contact form, for many reasons.
Anyway, is this officially a know bug?
How could this issue be solved? The contact form is really important for many organizations, this is indeed a basic fonctionality, how is it that this issue is unresolved for so long?
thanks for your help.

Hello @komelen!
I tryed with Tiki 21.0, 21.2, 21.4 and CAPTCHA doesn't work. However I've made a litle changes in some PHP/TPL files to make CAPTCHA works on Tiki 21.2.4 (attached zip file), but this fix affects anonymous comments (I had to disable this feature) and I have not tested the workaround on the entire platform.
Maybe you can apply this workaround while Tiki solves the issue if you don't require anonymous comments.
Cheers,
Dustin
