Support Thread for Google reCAPTCHA plugin

Hello Torvista
Thank you for your reply.
Can I try this version work on zen cart 1.5.1?
I am in the process of moving webhost and if it works i'll try it out as soon as I can and get back to you.
Thanks in advance for your answer
Regards
Millie

I wouldn't normally consider obsolete versions, but yes it now should work with all the 1.5x versions.

If your version is working on your site then let sleeping dogs lie/leave well alone/don't fix what is not broken.

If you are having problems, then please try this out on your development site and report any issues and feed back improvements on GitHub.

I've just installed your mod but can't get it working due to the site running PHP v5.6 (yeah I know but I can't upgrade)

The error is:

PHP Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ':', expecting '{' in /home/xxx/public_html/includes/functions/extra_functions/functions_google_recaptcha.php on line 42

Is there a workaround please?

As you correctly surmised, the culprit is your obsolete php 5.6.

You need to remove the ":string" from that line:

Code:

---

function recaptcha_get_html($fieldset = false, $theme = 'light', $size = 'normal', $style = null): string {

---

to

Code:

---

function recaptcha_get_html($fieldset = false, $theme = 'light', $size = 'normal', $style = null) {

Thanks - that got rid of the errors but now the recaptcha isn't working... I can submit forms on the site without ticking the Google checkbox? (not sure if it's related or not?)

Any other debug logs?

I implemented this solution to reduce the small amount of spam being sent throught the contact us form.
I am getting more now. Can't say if that it just more attacks or the reCaptcha is getting bypassed.

For me, I notice my spam is reduced.... at least through the contact us form.

I added the POST reCaptcha response code to the extra info footer of the email we receive, and the spam ones do not have the response, so they are managing to get round it....more investigation needed.
