Support Thread for Google reCAPTCHA plugin

Problem with the display of the reCapture image.

I have installed this excellent addition to my site, but the image is not displaying correctly on any of three relevant pages.

Please can anybody tell me how I 'clean-up' this image?

I am using 1.5.3 with the Responsive Sterling Grand Template

Saw this before once - it's your css that is causing it. I'll see if I can find the previous post with the same problem. In the meantime a link to your site would be useful.

Found the previous post - looks like it wasn't css, but a problem with some image scripts

Ok Bob - I've had a look at the site and looks like I was right first time - it is a css problem
on line 22 of your stylesheet.css you have:```
input {border:1px solid #ccc;height:28px;margin-bottom:10px;}

if you remove the height:28px everything looks ok on the reCAPTCHA.
If that would mess up other forms on your site you could try ```
.recaptchatable input {height:auto;}

Hi. Is there a way to remove the upper portion of the captcha, the "I'm not a robot" part. Seems like a little overkill. thank you.

I am sorry. I meant to remove the bottom part.

here is the article

http :// mycodde. blogspot. com/ 2014/ 12/ new-checkbox-recaptcha-tutorial-with. html

Is there an updated version of this module that uses the new 2.0 Google reCAPTCHA?

New version is now available. This uses Google newest 'I am not a robot' reCaptcha, which is much more user friendly and bot unfriendly.
Any questions/problems - just post them here.

Thanks David, for creating this great Zen Cart plugin. We have a question before implementation, does this plugin have the ability to be disabled for the account creation pages?

Thanks.

Hi Invizix
Yes it does - in the file /includes/classes/observers/class.google_recaptcha.php you just need to comment out the line

$pages_to_check[] =  'NOTIFY_CREATE_ACCOUNT_CAPTCHA_CHECK';

Just wanted to say thank you for your work on this great plugin ;)  What changes need to be made to make to the plugin to include this on the ask a question form?

Thanks,

Anne

Hi Anne
I'm assuming you are using the 'Ask a Question' plugin - https://www.zen-cart.com/downloads.php?do=file&id=109
If so, it should be fairly easy to add it to that.
Essentially you need too look at the instruction for pre-1.5.1 installation

In /includes/modules/ask_a_question/header.php just after line 41 add:

$zco_notifier->notify('NOTIFY_ASK_A_QUESTION_CAPTCHA_CHECK');

and change the line below it 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) {

in /includes/classes/observers/class.google_recaptcha.php insert this just below line number 23

$pages_to_check[] =  'NOTIFY_ASK_A_QUESTION_CAPTCHA_CHECK';

in your tpl_ask_a_question_default.php file (probably just under the textarea, so line 80) add

<?php echo recaptcha_get_html(); ?>

That should do it :)

Hi Anne
Opps forgot - in /includes/classes/observers/class.google_recaptcha.php line 42 change

$event_array = array('NOTIFY_CONTACT_US_CAPTCHA_CHECK' => 'contact', 'NOTIFY_CREATE_ACCOUNT_CAPTCHA_CHECK' => 'create_account', 'NOTIFY_REVIEWS_WRITE_CAPTCHA_CHECK' => 'review_text');

to

$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' => 'ask_a_question');

Thank you so much for taking the time to provide such a detailed answer. I really appreciate it :hug:

Got a question via private message - so I thought I'd post it here so that everyone can see the answer:

Hi David,

I have added the files to my cart, v1.5.4, english and dutch version.
I have a graphic on the contact us page and create account page, on both languages it says "Ik ben geen robot" (I am not a robot)

How can I get the text in engllish om my english pages?

Answer:

When the request is sent to Google to display the reCaptcha they detect what your language setting is in your browser and automatically display the reCaptcha challenge in that language. So generally for multi-language sites you don't need to do anything, the customers preferred language will be used.
The only time it might be a problem is if the customer is using a computer that isn't their own and the browser language is set to some other language.
It is possible to force the reCaptcha to display in a specific language by adding a language code to the javascript call
eg - to force the display in spanish you would have

script src="https://www.google.com/recaptcha/api.js?hl=es

To do this you would need to alter the file /includes/functions/extra_functions/recaptchalib.php and detect the language being used by Zen. This however might lead to other difficulties - if for instance a Spanish person is looking at your site which is in Dutch and English, they may choose to see the site in English (because their English is better than their Dutch) then tieing the language for Google to the language for Zen would lead to that spanish person seeing an English reCaptcha rather than the Spanish version that they would see by default.

A bit of a rambling answer I'm afraid, but in short you don't have to do anything, your customers will see the reCaptcha in their own language

OK! David, thank you for your explanation ! , Cees

David,
Thanks for the awesome module! Initial installation was a super simple.
I am atttempting to add the reCaptcha to the AJAX FAQ module following the tips you gave others on adding it to the ask a question module.
Unfortuantely I have not gotten far, with the added reCaptcha code to the class file for the faq when I click submit nothing happens...
You can take a look on the product page HERE by clicking on Ask A Question, just below the part number.
Any insight on how to get this working as well as it does on the other pages would be greatly appreciated.

Hi Mike
Just had a quick look at it (nice site btw). I think what you need to do is in the class.faq_request.php file:

Add at the beginning of the function update (just after the global $messagestack):

$error=false;
$zco_notifier->notify('NOTIFY_FAQ_CAPTCHA_CHECK');

then change the line 2 below from

if(isset($_POST['email_address']) && !empty($_POST['email_address']) && isset($_POST['fullname']) && !empty($_POST['fullname']) && isset($_POST['message']) && !empty($_POST['message']) && isset($_POST['subject']) && !empty($_POST['subject'])) {

to

if(isset($_POST['email_address']) && !empty($_POST['email_address']) && isset($_POST['fullname']) && !empty($_POST['fullname']) && isset($_POST['message']) && !empty($_POST['message']) && isset($_POST['subject']) && !empty($_POST['subject']) && $error==false) {

in the class.google_recaptcha.php file add (line 23 ish)

$pages_to_check[] =  'NOTIFY_FAQ_CAPTCHA_CHECK';

Hopefully that should sort it - if not I'll have another look

David

I have tried to use this module for my client and it is a good module but there are a few problems when you try to use many Google Recaptcha on one page. It can not with this module. I think author needs to update the code with this code:

https://developers.google.com/recaptcha/docs/display#explicit_render

I could have done it that way, but because stock Zen Cart only has one form per page it wouldn't be worth it. If you want several reCaptchas on the one page, you have correctly identified how to change things to make that work
