Invalid Code and URL Validation Issues

[kathy2008]

Hello, I have installed v2.2.0, and have encountered the following issues:

1. Submit Link: The security code being displayed is 6 characters (i.e. URFABU), but the input field will only allow 5 characters (i.e. URFAB). This prevents submission of a link.

2. The URL validation is not working. I have tried with several valid URLs, and get a message "Invalid URL.The URL could not be validated. Either the page does not exist or the server could not be contacted. A link to "websitename" could not be found at the specified URL." I had the reciprocol HTML code on the sites during my testing.

Do you have any suggestions? Thanks!

1. edit the submit.tpl and change the lentgh to 6 or higher

2. ask your host if they are allowing outoging connections on port 80

Hi, and thank you.....I was able to edit the submit.tpl, and the security code issue is resolved.

The URL validation is still an issue. I use GoDaddy for hosting. I was told that they do allow outgoing connections on port 80. But, I am lost from that point. I appreciate any tips.

Thanks

do you have a php.ini in the main folder?

[kathy2008]

Hi James, no....there is not a php.ini in the main folder.

Thanks
