When I click 'send' it appears the error message 'bad request'. What is wrong, please?

Hi,

I don't see CommentBox at this page https://jrbustamante.com/index.php/en/wanderings . Can you please verify that it is enabled?

Trying it again in my XAMPP environment I got the following error message:
Warning: Undefined array key "id" in D:\xampp\htdocs\joomla523\administrator\components\com_commentbox\src\Helper\UrlHelper.php on line 74
Can you tell me what does it mean?
Regards!

Hi,
Suddenly it's appeared another error message on the 'web site online' besides the message posted before in the XAMPP environment:
Deprecated: strpos(): Passing null to parameter #1 ($haystack) of type string is deprecated in /home/carmendu/domains/jrbustamante.com/public_html/administrator/components/com_commentbox/src/Helper/UrlHelper.php on line 76

Hi,

We are currently working on a fix for the issue you are facing. An update will come out soon. Thank you very much for reporting this issue.

Regarding the bad request response, you are getting. Is there any chance that you have disabled any of CommentBox plugins? Since you have selected Google ReCaptcha for protecting your comments, please make sure that the plugin "CommentBox - reCAPTCHA" is enabled.

Hi, 
Thank you for answering.
I'll be excited waiting for the fix. Hopefully very soon.
And about the message 'bad request', all plugins are enabled, also the 'reCaptcha' item in the Options. There's not a plugin "CommentBox - reCAPTCHA", only the Option to enable it, which I did.
And the message 'bad request' is there. You can see it: https://jrbustamante.com/en/wanderings.

Hi,

We’ve just released CommentBox v1.1.0, which includes fixes for the issues you mentioned. When you have a moment, please update to the latest version and let me know if everything works as expected—or if you notice anything out of the ordinary.

Thanks for your patience, and I’m here if you need anything else!

 

Best regards,

Hi,
Many thanks for the new version, which I've installed and tested with such results:
Firecoders\Component\CommentBox\Administrator\Helper\CaptchaHelper::verify(): Return value must be of type bool, array returned
That's the error message I've got by testing it.
What does it mean, please?
You can see it on https://jrbustamante.com/wanderings (for instance).
AND: Can I hide the 'No comments' on the top of an article? That bothers me a little.
Best regards,

You are totally right, there is an issue with the reCAPTCHA integration. You can switch to ALTCHA. If you want to use reCAPTCHA edit file /plugins/commentbox/recaptcha/src/Extension/Recaptcha.php and change line 53 

from:
$event->setArgument('result', $verified);

to:
$event->setArgument('result', $result);

This should fix the issue.

Hi,
Many thanks, now it's all right. Just perfect!
Only one more thing yet: is it possible to hide the "No comments" on the top of any article? Sorry, it bothers me a little.
Hiding it would be wonderful!
BTW, I cannot use the ALTCHA because I don't have the PRO Version. I just wanted to test it before, then I've tested many other Extensions and none worked for my needs.
Your Extension is very nice and I want to keep testing it. If it keeps working without any problems, then... well, let's hope for the best.
Thank you again and have a good time.
Best regards,

Hello,

You can hide the counters from the Joomla articles. There is an option named "Joomla! Articles Comment Counters" and you will find it under the "Integration" tab in the options page.

Regarding ALTCHA, it is included in the free version and you should be able to use it. Just make sure that the plugin named "CommentBox - ALTCHA" is enabled.

Finally I want to thank you for the great feedback you have provided!

Hello,
Thousand thanks for your assistance.
Now it's all right, working just fine as it must be for my needs.

Have a nice time with my
