The image is not tag is not created when CONFIG_CALCULATE_IMAGE_SIZE is true, therefore I created made a few simple changes that allows this contribution to temporarily override this configuration directive.

Instructions (download the file to have on hand).

1) In includes/functions/html_output.php
a) Redefine the function tep_image, by replacing line 74:

function tep_image($src, $alt = '', $width = '', $height = '', $parameters = '') {

with

function tep_image($src, $alt = '', $width = '', $height = '', $parameters = '', $calc_size = CONFIG_CALCULATE_IMAGE_SIZE) {

b) Change the if statement on line 87 from

if ( (CONFIG_CALCULATE_IMAGE_SIZE == 'true') && (empty($width) || empty($height)) ) {

to

if ( ($calc_size == 'true') && (empty($width) || empty($height)) ) {

2) In create_account.php, account_edit.php, account_password.php and contact_us.php, find

$validation_images = tep_image('validation_png.php?rsid=' . $new_guery_anti_robotreg['session_id']);

and replace with

$validation_images = tep_image('validation_png.php?rsid=' . $new_guery_anti_robotreg['session_id'], '', '', '', '', false);
