Support Thread for Google reCAPTCHA plugin

[violetlinnie]

Thanks, sounds obvious now you said it but better to find out for sure. I'm getting more spam into my store even as we speak.

Well, quick fix. If it's coming from your contact us page, I recommend immediately installing google recaptcha (though there is some initial setup needed (some sort of key info from google.)). Don't know how your site is fairing otherwise, but may want to disable it. I was looking for a way to just turn off the contact us, I guess could temporarily rename both your template and the default contact us tplate file. Will cause some errors when one tries.

And sorry, should have done this before, this should be moved to a new thread instead of remaining here. Unless you are having trouble installing google recaptcha.

Thanks all, after testing, the recaptcha is working on my contact page so that wasn't too bad setting that up, phew.

Hi David,

I verify many time all the file and is all right but don't go. My website is www.my-rc.ch. I'm follow too the other post but any solution.
Thanks
Carmelo

Where I enter the captcha, the back ground is black, and the letters are black. Any hint on how to change that? Thanks/
Also the google picture is cut off. You can view it here:

Could you please be more specific as to which files needs to be changed, I could add the code etc but would appreciate if you could tell me exactly which files need to be changed and their location, my website is www.aydincoins.com and lately been getting lot of spam emails via the ask question about this product feature.

thank you

I've not used the ask a question mod, but I've just d/loaded it and had a quick look.

I think that in the header.php you need to add in code in a similar way to the contact-us header.php (as per step 3 in the reCAPATCHA instructions, inserted at about line 42 in the ask a question header file)
So

        // add in reCaptcha check
        $resp = recaptcha_check_answer ($privatekey,
            $_SERVER["REMOTE_ADDR"],
            $_POST["recaptcha_challenge_field"],
            $_POST["recaptcha_response_field"]);
    
        if (!$resp->is_valid) {
            // set the error code so that we can display it
            $messageStack->add('contact', $resp->error);
            $error = true;
        }
    then change the line below from 
        if ($zc_validate_email and !empty($enquiry) and !empty($name)) {
    to
        if ($zc_validate_email and !empty($enquiry) and !empty($name) and $error == false) {

Then in the template file add in the

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

line at about line 80 in tpl_ask_a_question_default

that would be

When I add the code and click on the 'Ask a question about this product' the website shows blank page, nothing on it, when I remove the code it works fine so not sure what's going on. Below is the code from line 1 to 59 so when you say insert it around line 40 I guess I am counting the blank lines also?

Typically yes, when a line number is provided blank lines are included and the "second line" of code that wraps around the screen does not count. Considering that David downloaded a recent copy and that the line suggested to modify doesn't match a similar line in the code provided, are you sure that you have the most up-to-date? Also, when providing code, please place it between the appropriate code blocks like ['CODE'] and [/'CODE'] (with the apostrophe's removed).
