Support Thread for Google reCAPTCHA plugin

[Jaxx]

Hi there,

Currently I'm running ZenCart v1.5.5e and have the CAPTCHA working for the 'Contact Us' page, but when a user is on the 'Create Account' page, if the user does not click the "I am not a robot" checkbox, they will be returned to the account creation page with no error displayed. The user will not have their account created if they do not have the checkbox ticked though. Strangely, the 'Contact Us' page is working perfectly and correctly displays a "Please verify that you are not a robot" error.


I copied over the required files for all versions, but since we are using a custom template, I only used the installation steps for 1.5.4. If you have any tips to get it working that would be much appreciated.

This uses the Zen Cart notification system to display errors. If you leave other required fields blank when creating an account, do you get those notifications?

If I leave the other options blank, I get those error notifications. This happens both for if I leave it blank with CAPTCHA checked and unchecked.

Steps for 1.5.4? There are no steps for 1.5.4. You should follow the steps for 1.5.5. If the problem persists after you double check your installation, it could be a conflict with your template. This is installed on many sites and I know the notifications display correctly on the create account page.

Hi,

I am currently running 1.5.0 (yes I know it is way too old), but being heavily customized. I cannot easily upgrade the site.

Thanks for this plugin, I followed the steps and it seems to be working, but with some problems.

On contact us/ create account page. I filled in everything and ticket the reCAPTCHA box and click the submit button, there is no error returned but it didn't say the message was sent. I am testing this plugin within a VM that is able to connect to Google.

From google reCAPTCHA admin console, I can see total 2 requests but it said below.
We detected that your site isn't verifying reCAPTCHA solutions. This is required for the proper use of reCAPTCHA on your site. Please see our developer site for more information.

Total request 2, Suspicious requests 0%.

will this plugin work on a VM? The google reCAPTCHA has my domain something.com.au, but my VM is definitely not 'something.com.au', the VM can talk to internet and is able to connect Google.

Thanks,

I'm sorry, I don't know. I've never tried it on a VM.

I'm trying to install this on two legacy sites (both zc 1.3.9h) for a client. Will Google reCAPTCHA for Zen Cart v3.3 work on a site that old?

I am able to complete Steps 1 & 2, but I'm confused by Step 3 under "Instalation for Zen Cart Versions prior to 1.5.1":
...manually add the <?php echo recaptcha_get_html(); ?> to your own template files

Which template files and where do I add this?

Thanks!

I am having the same exact issue. Running v1.5.5e. Works perfectly on the Contact Us page (I have my reviews deactivated), but for the Create Account page it will allow an account creation without clicking the CAPTCHA widget. All files were uploaded (an re-uploaded) according to the main instructions, as well as the 1.5.5 instructions. The Create Account page still verifies for minimum values. Any help would be appreciated!

I really don't know. You'll just have to try.

To the Contact Us, Create Account and Write Review template files.

Thanks, jeking!

Does it matter where I stick that line ( <?php echo recaptcha_get_html(); ?> )? Just anywhere in the file will work?
