Phoca Guestbook hidden field bug

Post by jeroenh »

Hi,

I use Joomla 4.3.4 and Phoca Guestbook 4.0.3.
At the [Options] screen of Phoca Guestbook at the TAB "Captcha" it is possible to "Enable Hidden Field".
When enabled, the hidden field becomes visible in the frontend.
In a site which still uses Phoca Guestbook 4.0.2 the hidden field is really invisible.
I think this is a bug in 4.0.3.
It seems like the CSS display:none !important; is missing for the hidden field.

Regards,
Jeroen

Hi Jeroen,

which field should not be seen?

you can generally use (example only): .yourfield {display-none;} specify in a CSS. user.css or custom.css

Kind regards
Christine

Hi Christine,

I know how to use CSS and how I could hide a field or something else.
But in this case:
Phoca Guestbook offers the ability through [Components] > [Phoca Guestbooks] > [Options] > [Captcha] > [Enable Hidden Field] > [Yes] to add an extra field which shouldn't be visible for visitors of the website.
I tried to hide it with CSS but this isn't possible because the ID and CLASS of the specific input field changes on every refresh of the page.
I have used Phoca Guestbook a lot in the past and this hidden field was always hidden without the use of custom css from my side.

Regards,
Jeroen

Hi, thank you for the info, there was some problem with new Joomla methods loading inline styles. Try to test latest Beta: https://github.com/PhocaCz/PhocaGuestbo ... .4Beta.zip

It should be OK there.

Thank you, Jan

Thank you Jan!

It works.
The hidden field is visually gone now and adding messages still work.
