Support Thread for Google reCAPTCHA plugin

NOTE: if you're running the unsuffixed version of zc157 without having installed the known patches (https://www.zen-cart.com/showthread....v1-5-7-series) could be part of the problem.

That initial version had a bug that prevented multiple 'observers' from watching the same event, which might have play in the issue reported.

Yes, important point!

I was looking for that post when I did by tests... maybe that helped in my testing, but also found it was easy to add another page to the notifier group to add Get-a-Quote to reCAPTCHA.. Could be the answer for the FEC question..

Just to post this again, Both ZC1.5.7b and ReCAPTCHA performed as expected. When testing URL in the comment, reCAPTCHA passed it to ZC1.5.7b and ZC stopped it dead. Which is what I would expect for reCAPTCHA is only testing for a click and not what's in the message...

Thanks to the last few posts (cheers Dave) I've had a lighbulb moment and fixed recaptcha with FEC

Because FEC doesn't use the default zencart register page - it uses the login page as a split register / login page the observer wasn't looking for the recaptcha on that page

In includes/classes/observers/class.google_recaptcha.php

Add $pages_to_check[] = 'NOTIFY_LOG_IN_CAPTCHA_CHECK'; to the array of pages to check so it becomes:

	function __construct() {

		//comment out any pages you do NOT want to check
		$pages_to_check[] =  'NOTIFY_CONTACT_US_CAPTCHA_CHECK';
		$pages_to_check[] =  'NOTIFY_CREATE_ACCOUNT_CAPTCHA_CHECK';
		$pages_to_check[] =  'NOTIFY_REVIEWS_WRITE_CAPTCHA_CHECK';
		$pages_to_check[] =  'NOTIFY_LOG_IN_CAPTCHA_CHECK';
		$this->attach($this,$pages_to_check);
	}

Then in the same file update the following

if (!$resp->isSuccess()) {
			$event_array = array('NOTIFY_CONTACT_US_CAPTCHA_CHECK' => 'contact', 'NOTIFY_CREATE_ACCOUNT_CAPTCHA_CHECK' => 'create_account', 'NOTIFY_REVIEWS_WRITE_CAPTCHA_CHECK' => 'review_text', 'NOTIFY_LOG_IN_CAPTCHA_CHECK' => 'create_account');
			$messageStack->add($event_array[$eventID], $resp->getErrors());
			$error = true;
		}

This now seems to be working fine - although there is no error is you don't tick the recaptcha? (must have missed something)

Taking a quick look at FEC, to does have the NOTIFY_CREATE_ACCOUNT_CAPTCHA_CHECK built in, it also seems to be doing it's own looking for a captcha.php class, so more then likely some other things going on here.

To get the message change 'create_account' to 'login'...

Thanks Dave,

I've changed the create_account to login and I still don't get an error message when recaptcha fails? Any ideas please?

This is what I changed

'NOTIFY_LOG_IN_CAPTCHA_CHECK' => 'login'

Zen Cart 1.5.4, FEC installed

Now that Google reCAPTCHA V3 is out, is there going to be an upgrade to incorporate? I'm using ZC 157b. Thanks.

There's little reason to need v3. Even Google says don't use v3 unless your web app needs it.

Are you inquiring about v3 "just because it exists"? Or is there something about v3 that you need on your site? What is that?

Now that 1.5.7b is out, mind you only a few weeks ago, that did solve the issue with the observers. Thank you for pointing out that 1.5.7 had this bug in it. For the last several months I've been banging my head trying to get this to work as I have been flooded with spam emails from the contact us page. I'm not one to jump right on to each update as I have a modified ZC that I winmerge all the files to check for changes before uploading blindly, which is why I didn't upgrade to 157b as soon as it came out. But now that 157b address the observers, the commenting out that I posted earlier is no longer needed. Thank you all for putting up with my rants as I was not the politest in my posts.
