Support Thread for Google reCAPTCHA plugin

**Green Books** · 3 Jun 2020, 10:09 AM

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:

PHP Code:


$pages_to_check[] =  'NOTIFY_ASK_A_QUESTION_CAPTCHA_CHECK';

Change this

PHP Code:


$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:

PHP Code:


$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)

PHP Code:


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

to this:

PHP Code:


$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 Code:


<?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!
