Support Thread for Google reCAPTCHA plugin

[raindrop99]

Has anyone managed to get the recaptcha working on the create account page with FEC installed?

I've just taken over a zencart site and I'm "feeling" my way around!

I had a problem with recaptcha on the contact page but I've fixed that :)

But on the create account page (weirdly called /log-in on the frontend) I can get the Recaptcha box to show up but either ticking the box or not just refreshes the page with no errors? (nothing in the log files or server logs)

After digging I see that the FEC mod has it's own template & module files for creating accounts etc...

So I have /includes/modules/fec_create_account.php as well as the normal zencart create_account.php file

Template wise I have includes/templates/<my-template>/templates/tpl_login_default.php which seems to control the layout of the login / register page and has FEC code in it?

Zencart Version: 1.5.4

Probably some stupid quirk with FEC's use of CSS/JS Loader junk.

I realize the following comment is not helpful in immediately doing what the rest of your post talks about ... but it's worth mentioning:

The first thing I delete when I find it is FEC, and all the things it adds or depends on, especially "CSS/JS Loader" stuff. All of these cause nightmares for interoperability with other plugins, and for upgrades, and for troubleshooting things that "should" work but don't work when these things are present.

When you get around to upgrading the site to a newer version, look into OPC One Page Checkout as a better replacement.

It would be great if there was a post with all the plugins that you recommend.

Thank you,

My plugin recommendations: only the ones your business actually needs in order to serve the actual clearly-defined needs of your customers. And no added noise that would distract them. The fewer the better.

Could you recommend a plugin that I could load more products to my website through a spreadsheet or datafeed file?

Thank you!
