Support Thread for Google reCAPTCHA plugin

[mc12345678]

OK, I figured out what was going on. It was an earlier discussion in the thread the put me on to this, as I upgraded from 1.3.9h to 1.5.6c, I had an Create_Account.php file in my /store/includes/modules/Custom folder, which wasn't upgraded and was still 1.3.9h, and as such, was missing the line that needed to be added. I renamed the file, copied the standard file there, and it's now working. I just have to figure out if the differences between the 1.3.9h and the 1.5.6c files in relation to customization's, assuming that there were any in the first place.

I believe I placed the file there as I was making changes as it was 1.3.9h, so it may not even be necessary to have this file in my custom folder any longer, and I just confirmed that this is the case.

Thanks for everyone's help.

Regards

James

To address this/figure it out, obtain a copy of 1.3.9h (available through links on the main page of this website) and compare includes/templates/template_default/templates/tpl_create_account_default.php (or whatever equivalent file) to the one you had in your customs folder. Any changes made there would be the ones to consider incorporating into your current versions equivalent file. Like you said, may not be necessary, but won't really know until that file comparison is done...

Hi

I have got this working on my upgraded 1.5.6c website and it works on the contact form, but ignored on the registration form. https://shaftdirect.com/index.php?main_page=login

I can't understand why.

Please advise.

version:1.3.9h

I have installed this mod into my store. I have also redone this about 4 times. The first time cause I installed the items from the 1.39 folder like instructed. It has been such a long time that I have installed new mods or updated any for this version of cart that I got confused when it did not work, at all. after this last time of removing/reuploading the files again I still can not get it to work right.

I am so confused it just tisn't funny, well kinda sorts is but not.

When I go to the contact form or the registration form I do get the captcha stuff showing up, yay so far so good. Unfortunately that is all, when actually trying to use it I can test it with name and last initial, email and message....click to send and sure enough it goes through...without any images to verify you are not a robot but are human.

I then tried it as before with same email and spam in the message area and I get to check the "I ma not a robot" and it still gives me no images to verify with it actually allows the form to be sent.

I am at my wits end and trust me not many wits left to spare. What should I do, yes I did follow that to upload all files in the main includes folder, the upload only the files for 1.3.9+ and then after so many tries I got very confused later on in the instructions that then said DO NOT upload the files if using version prior to 1.5.1??????

Help me please.

I think you are misunderstanding the intent of the module. I sent a message through your site using fake details. This module is not designed to prevent that. It's to prevent bots from sending junk, not a person sending junk. Anyone can get around the captcha and send junk, well anyone with enough brain power to understand the captcha instructions. It's solely to prevent bots from posting.

OH, well I do not get bot mails, or not knew they were...LOL I thought this would stop it totally. Oh well I will remove it cause it is not detering the emails I am inundated with each month.

I'm trying to get this to work on Numinix's tableau2 template but I'm not sure where to put the code in tpl_contact_us_default.php because the file is completely custom compared to the default one.

I've added it after <?php echo zen_draw_input_field('should_be_empty', '', ' size="40" id="CUAS" style="visibility:hidden; display:none;" autocomplete="off"'); ?>
but the captcha isn't required so the spam is going through like usual.

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?

Hello, thank you for posting but I am having trouble getting it to work. I am receiving a message "ERROR for site owner: Invalid site key". I checked the key several times and copied and pasted it directly from https://www.google.com/recaptcha/admin by following the steps provided. Help is greatly appreciated! Thank you.

I think you are probably running into the aggressive HTML encoding in Zen Cart Admin screen, happens with various passwords too. Try adding the key directly to the database in the requisite field.
