Support Thread for Google reCAPTCHA plugin

[nootkan]

Was wondering if the developer is currently working on an upgrade to this plugin so that we can use it with google recaptcha v3? Or is there another plugin for this version? I haven't been able to locate one yet in my searches. thanks

Just in case someone also want to use Google reCAPTCHA in their 'Ask a Question' plugin,
below is how I made it works:

There are 3 files that need to be amended:

File 1: includes/classes/observers/class.google_recaptcha.php

Add this around line 24:

$pages_to_check[] =  'NOTIFY_ASK_A_QUESTION_CAPTCHA_CHECK'; 

Change this

$event_array = array('NOTIFY_CONTACT_US_CAPTCHA_CHECK' => 'contact', 'NOTIFY_CREATE_ACCOUNT_CAPTCHA_CHECK' => 'create_account', 'NOTIFY_REVIEWS_WRITE_CAPTCHA_CHECK' => 'review_text'); 

to this:

$event_array = array('NOTIFY_CONTACT_US_CAPTCHA_CHECK' => 'contact', 'NOTIFY_CREATE_ACCOUNT_CAPTCHA_CHECK' => 'create_account', 'NOTIFY_REVIEWS_WRITE_CAPTCHA_CHECK' => 'review_text', 'NOTIFY_ASK_A_QUESTION_CAPTCHA_CHECK' => 'contact'); 

File 2: includes/functions/extra_functions/recaptchalib.php

Change this (around line 70)

$event_array = array('contact_us' => 'contact', 'create_account' => 'create_account', 'reviews_write' => 'review_text'); 

to this:

$event_array = array('contact_us' => 'contact', 'create_account' => 'create_account', 'reviews_write' => 'review_text', 'ask_a_question' => 'contact'); 

File 3: includes/templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE/templates/tpl_ask_a_question_default.php

Add this before </fieldset>:

<?php echo recaptcha_get_html(false); ?>

The attached image shows how reCAPTCHA works in the Ask A Question plugin

P.S. I'm using the latest version of both plugins:
- Google reCAPTCHA CAPTCHA - Version: 3.4
- Ask A Question - Version:2.2

Good Luck!

I just downloaded this file and am following the directions in the readme but the file it wants me to add the keys to does not appear to exist in either the downloaded file or in the server side directory.

Steps for creating the keys are in the instructions.

I have not had a chance to test this plugin on 1.5.7 yet. I plan do but not sure when that will be yet.

Reading a couple pages pack in this thread I saw someone mentioning their edits to /includes/modules/pages/contact_us/header_php.php on an older version of zen cart. I read to the very bottom of the instructions and saw this change is needed specifically on 1.5.1, even though I'm on 1.5.6 I tried it out as there was nothing left to do and sure enough the captcha became required to use the contact us form. Any ideas why 1.5.1 specific changes needed to be made on my 1.5.6 install?

I've also just had to do the same on the /includes/modules/TEMPLATE_NAME/create_account.php

Copying the zco notifier line across from the 1.3 files into this file made it work for me, else you could create an account without ticking the box!

These are typical when using a template (including any custom override files) built for an older version of Zen Cart, which didn't have the features that the newer versions of the plugin depends on.

As a side note.. reCaptcha v3 and v2 have been "broken" (robots can "solve" them)! Makes one wonder what robots are really thinking about when they can read images!

ZC157 has a built in anti spam filter that's works really well. If I remember right, this one use an observer that 157 also makes use of. it could be an issue as discussed on the known bug page here. Post #8.. Something to try.. as is I don't see an issue with the current code as long as you are merging with 157 forms and not replacing them.

Solved. Thanks Dave. https://github.com/zencart/zencart/pull/3654/files
