reCaptcha addon not showing in page

I have been trying to install reCaptcha into zencart 1.3.9h. This is the current stable release. I am using a mod to zencart from pickupman located here;
bitbucket.org/pickupman/zencart-recaptcha/downloads

I was able to get the mod running, sort of, on a local install of the same ver. of zencart. My local install is with XAMPP on a Windows 7 machine. When I say 'sort of' I mean, I can get the reCaptcha to display on the Contact Us Page in zencart but not the other forms. The docs in the mod say that reCaptcha is implented on several other forms. Namely these;
advanced search
create account
login
product write review
tell a friend

It appears to work on the Contact Us Page on the local install. But dosn't show on any of the others on the local install.

My internet accessible zen store is running on a Linux server. I have looked closely at the files that were installed for the reCaptcha mod and don't see anything that might be affected by other mods I have installed. My other mods are;
zen_lightbox_1-6-1 Mod
expanded_category_list_1-01 Mod
bestsellers_scrolling_images_1-0 mod
blank_sidebox_2-0 mod (NOT WORKING)
login_box_1-5 mod

Please help!

I am having the same problems. I am trying to contact the person that wrote the code and hope he will fix it.

The issue is with the https pages. The captcha will not show for some reason in Firefox. In IE8 I get a warning to show non-secure items on a warning bar across the top of the browser. So if I allow it then it will show.

This is why it shows on some of your pages. Check and see, the pages it shows on I bet are http pages.

I had to turn it off on my create account page as I had potential customers calling saying they couldn't create an account due they were getting a message that the security code was incorrect. They called and said they didn't even see the code. Needless to say this was impacting my business.

This is an awesome add-on and as soon as I find a fix I will respond back...

Ok there is an update here:

bitbucket.org/pickupman/zencart-recaptcha/downloads

Not sure yet if this fixes the issues...

Ok the following works for me now using IE8 & Firefox4:

Enable Contact Form
Enable Login Form - except when turned off I still get error that security code wasnt entered correctly?
Enable Tell a Friend
Enable Write Product Review

Enable Create Account Form does not work for me even when I enable it. There is not a captcha shown.

Thanks Ed and Neal for taking the time to help me work on these. I am trying to figure out why the login form is not validating the security text.

I will checkout the the create account page as well, but I suspect it has to do with the same problem.

I pushed another update that fixes the login page. The recaptcha may have been called twice if you have the create account form on the same page as login.
You can see the changes at:
bitbucket.org/pickupman/zencart-recaptcha/changeset/701ebde93cf5

Grab the complete source by click on the upper right tab -> get source -> zip.

@nohart - make sure you have uploaded /templates/CUSTOM/templates/tpl_create_account_default.php to the proper directory. Looking at your page the tag isn't showing in the source of your page.

Ok you mean to change the file name to my custom template correct?

So it would be:

includes\templates\comstock

I very much appreciate your add-on as it cuts way back as in total stop of spam etc!

Ok I uploaded the new files and for some reason it still wont work on the Log in page when I have it turned off. I still get the warning:

Error The Security Check code wasn't typed correctly. Try again.

But it works when turned on!

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Also when I Enable Create Account Form, the captcha never shows on the bottom of the page so not sure what the problem is with that. I do have both Log in & Create account page on same page but it used to work just fine...

With Enable Create Account Form set to false it works so that customers can create an account. (Which is good!) but I really would like to enable the captcha for this process...

So everything is almost fixed!

@nohart - that's right. That template file needs to moved over to your template folder.

I just posted another update that address some missing configuration values from the original thread for this mod. The updated file was /admin/includes/functions/extra_functions/recaptcha_functions.php. Just re-upload that file and go to admin->configuration->reCAPTCHA. Click on link to remove/upgrade, then install. Then click on configure link, and reenter your API keys/secrets along enable the pages you want.

ok I removed and re-installed it. Then added my keys and now the only things that show up in the menu are:

reCAPTCHA Public Key ***
reCAPTCHA Private Key ***
reCAPTCHA Theme white
Enable Contact Form true

The other options are gone?

Also before this I noticed that the Enable advance search forced advance search. It would not let the regular search work normally it would automatically take me to the advance search page?

Make sure you have downloaded the latest copy from:
https://bitbucket.org/pickupman/zencart-recaptcha

The other values should be getting installed.

Ok I went to this page:

bitbucket.org/pickupman/zencart-recaptcha/downloads

and downloaded the latest update - ac54a4b0d8f4 and this got the menus working again.

1) But still if I enable advance search it breaks the regular search and forces the advance search page to come up with the captcha in it. It will turn off though.

2) Also on the login page it works but I cannot disable it. The captcha goes away but when I try to log in I get the notice that the security code is wrong. So it is not turning off completely. So to make the login page work I have to leave the captcha turned on.

3) And the last issue I think is the Create account form does not turn on. With it off the good thing is that it is off so in the mean time customers can still create an account until this all gets fixed.

1) This was the anticipated behavior. I have had the quick search result attacked by spammers, and shut down my server before. It is a bit of a nuisance, but the only way to protect repetitive request to multiple requests in succession. You can pick how you want to use it.
2) Fixed this with latest update. Didn't tag a new revision yet, but fixed /includes/modules/pages/login/header_php.php. I had missed a conditional check when disabled.
3) The create account works similar to advanced search. The recpatcha will not be shown on the login/create account page. This is due to the fact by including the recaptcha on ?main_page=login the recaptcha is run twice which will always fail. The captcha will not be shown until the form is submitted, and then when the page ?main_page=create_account is shown the captcha will be displayed.

Ok thank you so much.

So If I understand you correctly if I want the captcha to show on the create account page I have to split the page?

split login? configuration->layout settings -> enable to true

Because before it showed up when the login & create page was stacked all on one page.

Either way now it adds one more click that the customer has to make in order to create an account. I did split the page and the captcha shows on the page, vice when the page is stacked. It brings the create account page up again with a warning that the security code wasn't entered correctly. Even though it never showed before allowing the customer to even fill in the code?

I am just one that tries to keep the clicking process to a minimum for my customers...

The way I had it before was the page was stacked with login and create account page together and the login captcha was turned off and the captcha for the create account page turned on and it showed up underneath or at the bottom of the page. There isn't any way of making that work like that anymore?

Like a condition that if the login captcha is off to display the captcha on the stacked page at the bottom... This way it is not trying to show twice on the same page. (at the top under login and at the bottom under create account)

Another note is that when I do spit the page and with the login captcha enabled it shows the captcha but it lays the display with half of it laying on top of the side boxes.

I guess I could always try to go in and make it so the login page didn't show the right sideboxes on the login page...

I have updated the login page to allow captcha to be shown on the login page with a non-split login page. A button when click will load the recaptcha code in the appropriate form. Clicking on either button will toggle the recaptcha between forms.

If you have either login page or create account set to false, the recaptcha will be displayed without any user interaction in the proper place.

Example: Enable Login = false Enable Create Account = true
Recaptcha will be displayed automatically at bottom of page

Example: Enable Login = true Enable Create Accout = true
Button will be displayed in both form, when clicked will load the recaptcha in that form. Clicking on the other form will remove the previous recaptcha and insert new one in other form

When split page is enabled, the recaptcha will be displayed automatically if enabled.

https://bitbucket.org/pickupman/zencart-recaptcha

Awesome! It works great! Thank you so much for your add-on and spending time to fix it! I so much appreciate you!

That is so trick how you made the button to display the security code!

Thanks Neil for helping me test this out. Glad it is working now for you.

Hi, I'm using Contact Us ReCaptcha 1.1 and it works great except for the alignment using Firefox 12.0.
It aligns to the right edge and underneath an image. Very strange.
http://splashpoolparts.com/contact_us.html
I tried from another thread, div class="recaptcha" align="left" to no avail.
Any ideas on a quick fix?
Thanks,
Mike

Seems if you apply the following rules to your stylesheet should correct this.

Code:

---

.recaptcha { overflow:hidden;}
#recaptcha_area {float: left;}

---

I'm running ZC v1.5.0 and I just installed reCaptcha v1.3.2, revision ce41a91dfcf9 which I downloaded from https://bitbucket.org/pickupman/zenc...tcha/downloads

Per the instructions, it says to log in to your admin once the files have been uploaded and click the install button at the top of the page. When I went to my admin login page, a blank page was loaded - preventing me from entering my login credentials. The error log generated states the following:

[18-May-2012 17:06:21] PHP Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_IF in /admin/includes/init_includes/init_reloadedstack.php on line 1

Can you please advise?

@ScriptJunkie
Try reuploading the file, as I don't see any syntax errors in the file that would cause that error. If that doesn't work, try removing the comment block (lines 2-5) and upload without the comment block.

Sorry I didn't get your PM. I didn't have notifications for that turned on somehow.

No worries on the PM - should have posted here in the first place :smile:

Ok, removed comment block, but no joy. New error is:

Quote:

---

PHP Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '{' in admin/includes/init_includes/init_reloadedstack.php on line 1

---

The code is as follows:

PHP Code:

---

<?phpif (isset($_SESSION) AND is_numeric($_SESSION['admin_id']) AND is_object($reloadedStack) ){    foreach ($reloadedStack->errors as $message)    {        $messageStack->errors[] = $message;        $messageStack->size += 1;    }}

---

Now, I did have to do file merges on 4 files prior to install due to other mods and personal customizations....but I was very careful. Wondering if I made a merging error in another file that affects the init file? Below is a list of files I merged:

\includes\templates\custom_template\templates\tpl_contact_us_default.php
\includes\templates\custom_template\templates\tpl_product_reviews_write_default. php
\includes\modules\pages\contact_us\header_php.php
\includes\modules\pages\product_reviews_write\header_php.php

@ScriptJunkie
This line should be:

Code:

---

<?php
if (isset($_SESSION) AND is_numeric($_SESSION['admin_id']) AND is_object($reloadedStack) ){
    foreach ($reloadedStack->errors as $message)    {
        $messageStack->errors[] = $message;       
        $messageStack->size += 1;
    }
}

---

Not sure if it was a copy and paste error but there needs to a space or line break between the php and if on that line.

Sorry, I think that's just the way it was formatted by the forum's text editor when I selected the php tags. This is what it looks like in the file:

Code:

---

<?php
if (isset($_SESSION) AND is_numeric($_SESSION['admin_id']) AND is_object($reloadedStack) )
{
    foreach ($reloadedStack->errors as $message)
    {
        $messageStack->errors[] = $message;
        $messageStack->size += 1;
    }
}

---

The coding is the same as what you posted (expect for spacing), but to be safe, I copied what you posted and pasted it into the file, saved, and uploaded it to the server. Result is the same: a blank login page with the following error log:

@ScriptJunkie,
You have to have some sort of syntax error somewhere else. The syntax of the code you and both posted is correct. Try deleting the contents of the file, but leave the file in place and see if you have any other errors.

The mystery deepens....After deleting the contents of the file and uploading the empty file to the server, I am able to access my admin login page with no errors generated in the cache file. Also, I am able to log in to my admin successfully - but there is no install button at the top of the page, nor is reCAPTCHA displayed in the config menu.

Resolved!!

I noticed that before I emptied out the file, the file size was only 24 bytes. So I opened a new file in Notepad++, pasted in the code, saved it over the empty file and uploaded to the server. Logged in without incident, found the install button, and successfully installed. Will configure, test, and report results here.

I'm thinking something went wrong with decompression when I unzipped the fileset.

Whew. That explains the mystery. Let me know how it goes. Should be over the hump now.

Configured and tested - works beautifully :)

Thanks for a great mod and thank you so much for supporting it!!

I just installed module, but see on [install now] button in my zen cart admin console. Any idea where I went wrong?

whoops, meant, I see "no" install button.

Well I got the install button but now I totally wrecked my contact us, log in, and my account page. http://www.desotosystemsflags.com/index.php

Also don't see ReCaptcha under configuration menu. I was able to configure it by hitting configure after installing it but after entering my keys and closing out I don't see it under config.

Sorry to be posting so much but I think I fixed the issue, now I see my contact form again however on contact page ENTRY_SECURITY_CHECK is being echoed to screen? and still don't see it under configuration.

fixed, seems to be working now. Guess I just had to think out lout.


Although, I still don't see Recaptcha under config?

ok, now my brain is starting to hurt. I thought I had it all figured out, I've tested the ReCaptcha module and it works but now I get a blank page preventing me from logging in to my Zen Cart admin. I really miss my admin access :(

my last log entry:

[24-May-2013 08:31:00] PHP Warning: session_start() [<a href='function.session-start'>function.session-start</a>]: Cannot send session cookie - headers already sent by (output started at /home4/desotosy/public_html/_admin/includes/functions/extra_functions/recaptcha_functions.php:128) in /home4/desotosy/public_html/includes/functions/sessions.php on line 113

ok so i removed "recaptcha_functions.php" and now I can log back in to my admin but now i'm not getting the contact form emails.

All appears to be working at this moment. :smile: Thanks for the assistance...lol.


Module looks great still cant configure it through admin but at this point I'm not too worried about it.

all of a sudden i'm having a problem with pickupman's plugin.. the captcha seems to be working fine from the front end but there is nowhere to edit it in the admin.. there is nothing under 'configuration' for 'recaptcha'.. Plus i am getting hit with hundreds of spam emails from my contact page with this captcha on it - for the last 4 weeks. http://www.swordsofhonor.com/index.p...age=contact_us

It's been awhile since I worked on the code in this plugin, but you have two options for the admin side. The plugin should create a link under Admin->Configuration. Either scenario, please copy down your reCaptcha information before proceeding.

1. Since ZC v1.5 and higher, admin menu links have to added to the system to show on the admin menus. You can do this manually by finding the configuration group id and entering the correct values to add the menu. The config key value is 'configRecaptcha'.

2. Uninstall the plugin, and try reinstalling it. Specifically the admin files. My code should have automatically installed the admin menu link itself. Navigate to the Admin home page. Then add to the end of the url: index.php?remove_recaptcha=yes
So the url would look like http://yoursite.com/YOUR-ADMIN-FOLDE..._recaptcha=yes After the page loads, it should display a link to reinstall itself.

The latest version maybe downloaded from here:
https://bitbucket.org/pickupman/zenc...ha/get/tip.zip

thanks for quick response. i uninstalled the files from the 'admin' section and reinstalled from the zip file you sent. when i did this, the admin section would not even show up.. a blank screen and i was not able to see anything in the admin. i removed the admin files and now i can get back into my admin section.

images of the configuration file entries and configuration_group entries.

by moving the admin files 1 by 1, i was able to determine that the file - config.reloadedstack.php - is the one causing the admin section to crash (or come up with a blank screen). once i remove that one file, admin starts working again.. i'm using zen 1.5.1

I just did a fresh install of Zencart and the plugin. I made and update to one file that was causing an issue for me on the installation. The file you mentioned is the file that causes another file to load. By removing the file prevents code in the installation from running.

Try replacing /admin/includes/functions/extra_functions/recaptcha_functions.php with the content in my update:
https://bitbucket.org/pickupman/zenc..._functions.php

OR download the whole plugin at:
https://bitbucket.org/pickupman/zenc...tcha/downloads

What error is showing in your logs/ folder for today?

just did this and got the same problem.. the admin section doesn't work - blank screen.. then i remove config.reloadedstack.php and the admin section works again.. the only errors in the error log today - same as yesterday - are related to RSS. Here they are:

Strange that my plugin loading file will throw some sort of error in your /include/config.php file. I would guess that you have a custom plugin that is loading the rss.php file. That code is trying to output some text or has trailing white space following a closing ?> php tag. This error is coming on the front end it would appear based on the file paths. Usually errors that occur from the admin section would be like my-ADM(timestamp)-debug.log.

Have you re-uploaded the entire admin section of the plugin?

yes i uploaded the entire admin section.. you've got me concerned now about the RSS.. i don't think i ever installed an RSS plugin for this site. those 2 RSS files were from the old SUNSHOP site.
