Use Global CAPTCHA option is not applied

[NetSecond]

Since update to 3.0.2, invisible captcha is not working like in 2.0.5.

Nothing shown in right bottom corner in frontpage like before update.

CANNOT confirm as described.

It does look, however, that the Use Global option is not applied which is a very different and far less important issue. If you click on this drop–down and select a specific captcha setting it will still work, therefore you don't need to wait for a new release.

I changed the title to reflect the actual problem that needs to be solved i.e. the Use Global option not working versus the entire CAPTCHA feature not working.

Ok, I changed to NonGlobal Captcha option and its working fine.

But I see this under the message field:

COM_ATS_TICKET_LBL_CAPTCHA_LABEL *

Where do I find it ??

Edit: Ok, looks like a JCE translation problem, sorry.

Edit 2: I found this variable in: /components/com_engage/forms/comment_new.xml

It doesn´t matter if I have the system in english or german. So it looks like, the variable is missing in language definitions ?!?!

Ok, I found the label problem for COM_ATS_TICKET_LBL_CAPTCHA_LABEL:

The variable is missing in all language files maybe in this file: /administrator/language/xx-XX/com_engage.ini

If I place the variable there at the top of the file with the value eg. "Captcha", then I will see the word "Captcha *" instead of the variable lable name.

Is this correct ??

Please see last line ....

DO NOT THAT LANGUAGE STRING. The label attribute is a typo and will be removed.

It should also not have been printed by Joomla anyway since we already tell it hiddenLabel=true. In fact, it's not printed on my dev site using Cassiopeia. I think your template has a broken layout override which ignores this XML Form option (there's an overridable layout which has to honour this option). That's all there is to it.

Ok, thanks for the info.
