Support Thread for Google reCAPTCHA plugin

[David Allen]

Got a question via private message - so I thought I'd post it here so that everyone can see the answer:

Hi David,

I have added the files to my cart, v1.5.4, english and dutch version.
I have a graphic on the contact us page and create account page, on both languages it says "Ik ben geen robot" (I am not a robot)

How can I get the text in engllish om my english pages?


Answer:

When the request is sent to Google to display the reCaptcha they detect what your language setting is in your browser and automatically display the reCaptcha challenge in that language. So generally for multi-language sites you don't need to do anything, the customers preferred language will be used.
The only time it might be a problem is if the customer is using a computer that isn't their own and the browser language is set to some other language.
It is possible to force the reCaptcha to display in a specific language by adding a language code to the javascript call
eg - to force the display in spanish you would have

script src="https://www.google.com/recaptcha/api.js?hl=es

To do this you would need to alter the file /includes/functions/extra_functions/recaptchalib.php and detect the language being used by Zen. This however might lead to other difficulties - if for instance a Spanish person is looking at your site which is in Dutch and English, they may choose to see the site in English (because their English is better than their Dutch) then tieing the language for Google to the language for Zen would lead to that spanish person seeing an English reCaptcha rather than the Spanish version that they would see by default.

A bit of a rambling answer I'm afraid, but in short you don't have to do anything, your customers will see the reCaptcha in their own language

David

David,
Thanks for the awesome module! Initial installation was a super simple.
I am atttempting to add the reCaptcha to the AJAX FAQ module following the tips you gave others on adding it to the ask a question module.
Unfortuantely I have not gotten far, with the added reCaptcha code to the class file for the faq when I click submit nothing happens...
You can take a look on the product page HERE by clicking on Ask A Question, just below the part number.
Any insight on how to get this working as well as it does on the other pages would be greatly appreciated.

Hi Mike
Just had a quick look at it (nice site btw). I think what you need to do is in the class.faq_request.php file:

Add at the beginning of the function update (just after the global $messagestack):

$error=false;
$zco_notifier->notify('NOTIFY_FAQ_CAPTCHA_CHECK');

then change the line 2 below from

if(isset($_POST['email_address']) && !empty($_POST['email_address']) && isset($_POST['fullname']) && !empty($_POST['fullname']) && isset($_POST['message']) && !empty($_POST['message']) && isset($_POST['subject']) && !empty($_POST['subject'])) {

to

if(isset($_POST['email_address']) && !empty($_POST['email_address']) && isset($_POST['fullname']) && !empty($_POST['fullname']) && isset($_POST['message']) && !empty($_POST['message']) && isset($_POST['subject']) && !empty($_POST['subject']) && $error==false) {

in the class.google_recaptcha.php file add (line 23 ish)

$pages_to_check[] =  'NOTIFY_FAQ_CAPTCHA_CHECK';

Hopefully that should sort it - if not I'll have another look

David

I have tried to use this module for my client and it is a good module but there are a few problems when you try to use many Google Recaptcha on one page. It can not with this module. I think author needs to update the code with this code:

https://developers.google.com/recapt...xplicit_render

[David Allen]

I could have done it that way, but because stock Zen Cart only has one form per page it wouldn't be worth it. If you want several reCaptchas on the one page, you have correctly identified how to change things to make that work

David,
Thanks. I finally got a chance to get back to this (one of the many challenges of being a small business and doing our own site development!). After the changes you suggested are put in place the product info page dies with the following error:
PHP Fatal error: Call to a member function notify() on a non-object in /home3/wwwsica/public_html/store-1st_1-5-4/includes/classes/observers/class.faq_request.php on line 38

That is the $zco_notifier->notify('NOTIFY_FAQ_CAPTCHA_CHECK'); line I added in. I am gong to commect the line out for now intil I can find the solution.
Thanks again

Mike

Ok so I have made a few more attempts at putting this in to the Ajax FAQ module, with no luck. Everything shows, but the check doesn't happen, and the question is sent regardless of the reCaptcha.
Like I said b4 the $zco_notifier->notify('NOTIFY_FAQ_CAPTCHA_CHECK'); inside of the class.faq_request.php kills the page with an error, so I tried moving the notify to the tpl_modules_faq_questions.php file. Top or bottom of the file this didn't work.

Also as this is an ajax pop-up how would I add it to the $event_array line in the class.google_recaptcha.php file?

Thanks for any ideas

mikestaps did you ever get this working on the FAQ page? I'm having a similar problem.
