Any suggestions for adding captchas to ask a questions mod. I have put the code in the header.php of pages/ask a question. And also added it to templates/ask a question.default. I changed the code to reflect ask a question 1 time in header.php and 4 instantances in template default. But it does not work. I can see a thin box below the message box but captcha does not show and cannot not send an email through to myself. I am not sure where to go from here. I am installing on 1.5. The contact us captcha works fine.

        // add in reCaptcha check
        $resp = recaptcha_check_answer ($privatekey,
            $_SERVER["REMOTE_ADDR"],
            $_POST["recaptcha_challenge_field"],
            $_POST["recaptcha_response_field"]);
    
        if (!$resp->is_valid) {
            // set the error code so that we can display it
            $messageStack->add('contact', $resp->error);
            $error = true;
        }
    then change the line below from 
        if ($zc_validate_email and !empty($enquiry) and !empty($name)) {
    to
        if ($zc_validate_email and !empty($enquiry) and !empty($name) and $error == false) {

<?php echo recaptcha_get_html($publickey, $resp->error); ?>

 if ($zc_validate_email and !empty($enquiry) and !empty($name)) { 

if ($zc_validate_email and !empty($enquiry) and !empty($name) and $error == false) {

Hi JC - Sounds like a similar problem to Ronel's above. I can only think that either the $error flag isn't being set when the capatcha returns as not valid, or that $error isn't being checked properly before the mail is sent.
If you could paste the top few lines of code from the file - I'll see what I can see.
Regards
David

require(DIR_WS_MODULES . zen_get_module_directory('require_languages.php'));

$error = false;
if (isset($_GET['action']) && ($_GET['action'] == 'send')) {
  $name = zen_db_prepare_input($_POST['contactname']);
  $email_address = zen_db_prepare_input($_POST['email']);
  $enquiry = zen_db_prepare_input(strip_tags($_POST['enquiry']));

  $zc_validate_email = zen_validate_email($email_address);
	// add in reCaptcha check
	$resp = recaptcha_check_answer ($privatekey,
		$_SERVER["REMOTE_ADDR"],
		$_POST["recaptcha_challenge_field"],
		$_POST["recaptcha_response_field"]);

	if (!$resp->is_valid) {
		// set the error code so that we can display it
		$messageStack->add('contact', $resp->error);
		$error = true;
	}

	if ($zc_validate_email and !empty($enquiry) and !empty($name) and $error == false) {

Hi David,

No I didn't change the code manually - just installed your plug-in as it was. I did however check the code against your manual changes, and everything's as it should be.
The plugin installed a file called header_php.php, not header.php - maybe this is a problem?

Ok, that was one of my more moronic questions. :blush:

The captcha works fine on the Create Account page though.

if (!$resp->is_valid) { 

if ($resp->is_valid !== true) {

Hi David

I have just installed the mod. Thanks. But I have to say that I am having the same issues are some of the other users. The page goes through no matter if the code is correct or not. Has there been a fix or do you have some advise about this?

This si my site: www.assceneon.com

Also it does not seem to be rendered correctly. The picture is skew.
