I've started this thread to provide support for my Google reCAPTCHA plugin. http://www.zen-cart.com/downloads.php?do=file&id=1455
Any questions or problems let me know below

I found that the template folder requires an extra templates folder after the custom template path. It all works fine now after doing that

Many thanks for this module

[David Allen]

@HeathenMagic - you are correct, thanks for the feedback. I will submit an updated version to correct that.

Thank you for this mod/plug-in!

Getting an HTTPS error on the create_account page (prompting the user if they want to view only content that is secure). Any idea how to remedy this issue?

Thank you.

@willieWontGo
Thanks for trying the plugin. I hadn't tested it on HTTPS so hadn't encountered that problem.
The solution is simple - in the Contact-us template file change the line (step 4 in instalation, step 6 for create account)

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

to this

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

The extra 'true' tells it to use SSL and should solve the problem.

In the next version I'll get it to pick up the HTTPS automatically

Regards
David

Thank you, David.

All fixed, all set.

I appreciate your contribution.

New version released.
v2.0 uses the new notifier hooks added in ZenCart v1.5.1 and a new observer class. So no core files to alter if you're using v1.5.1 or newer :)
I expanded it to include the write a review page as well as adding the auto detection of SSL pages. It now uses zen_get_ip_address() to better cope with proxies etc.

We are currently having our Zencart version being updated from 1.3.9 to 1.5 ,we have the Captcha succesfully integrated to our older version 1.3.9 of Zencart however our developer having a difficulty to install this to the new 1.5 version because of the GD and Imagemagick are not installed ,also she said we are having a PHP depraceted code issue and our hosting Godaddy not support this
Can you please suggest the way forward how this can be solved?

Are you sure you are using my Google reCAPTCHA plugin? Because it doesn't use GD or Imagemagick.

Hello David. This is very kind of you for sharing this contribution of yours. I have a simple question, I am using zencart v1.3.8a and would like to know if there is any possibility to put the reCaptcha in the admin login page. I think that would help in protecting against robotic brute-force attempts. I can not move to ZC 1.5 for now, as I have done many core edits.

Thank you in advance.
