Support Thread for Google reCAPTCHA plugin

I am just trying out this, and I too have a theme with a dropdown menu contact form. I tried editing the code as suggested to give the dropdown form a new name, but that didn't work. Has anyone gotten two recaptcha forms on one page working?

Yes and no. Set the drop down not to load when actually on the contact_us form so that wouldn't have two to contend with. :)

I'm running zen cart 1.51, with abbington mega menu template and your recaptcha mod on the contact us page. Everything seems to have been working fine until about a week or so ago, and now I am getting spammed constantly, I have checked the page and everything still seems to be working as it should but somehow they are bypassing the recaptcha.

Any ideas?

Hi - I just tested the contact us page on your website and it appears to be working fine, tried various things and got the expected result each time. Maybe it is a human spamming you?

Hi David

Thanks for getting back to me so quickly.. and thanks for a great script...

I thought I was going mad, as I couldn't see a problem either... I think I will try setting some filters in spam trapper, see if that helps.

You'll probably find that the mega-menu is still the culprit, although CSS has been used to try to hide the contact_us form off of the mega-menu, it is still present in the code and depending on the method of approach (human or computer) well, still able to freely spam. Oh, and it's not that the presence of the mega-menu option to contact us is a problem, but the way that the options on it are handled/redirected.

Ah, ok... time to look at it again.. perhaps if I took it out of the mega-menu altogether and had it as just a straight sidebox link, might be better...

That is one option, the issue is that a fully functional contact us form is present in the megamenu that does not (out-of-the-box) provide any "catch"/check before sending the information on to be processed. There are a number of ways to overcome that, but the link that is on the last menu-bar option is okay to keep in regards to "removing contact us from the mega-menu".

I have bypassed the mega-menu link in the drop down menu and just use it as a redirect link, to Zens own contact us page but I still seem to be getting spam :-/ time to walk away and look at it again tomorrow, perhaps I can see clearer then..

ver. 1.5.1 trouble for ask_question page
add only the line <?php echo recaptcha_get_html($publickey, $resp->error, $request_type == 'SSL'); ?> to tpl_ask_a_question_default.php (don't work)
add also to modules/pages/ask_a_question/header_php.php (don't work)
http://www.100asa.it/ask_a_question?products_id=4175
where is wrong?

Hi 100asa
I assume you are using the 'AsK a Question' plugin - if so then in modules/pages/ask_a_question/header_php.php replace line 43

  if ($zc_validate_email and !empty($enquiry) and !empty($name)) {

with these two lines

  $zco_notifier->notify('NOTIFY_CONTACT_US_CAPTCHA_CHECK');
  if ($zc_validate_email and !empty($enquiry) and !empty($name) and $error == false) {

Hope this helps/works
Regards

Great! Now works fine!
(I've changed $zco_notifier->notify('NOTIFY_CONTACT_US_CAPTCHA_CHECK'); with NOTIFY_ASK_A_QUESTION_CAPTCHA_CHECK )
:blink:

Excellent - you may need to edit class.google_recaptcha.php (in includes/classes/observers) to include 'NOTIFY_ASK_A_QUESTION_CAPTCHA_CHECK'

So I have it installed at http://thecubden.org/store/ I have it working on the create a new account and the contact us from the header bar, but if you click the contact us from under customer support, it will not work I do not see the box or anything. HELP I have moved the fils and done as instructed.

Hello,

It is only working on the pop-up accessed from your header bar, but not on the full contact page accessed from your header bar or your support section, so I would guess that you need to install it on your full php contact page proper, rather than just the pop-up element. You need to add it to the page that carries the text: "Please feel free to use the Contact us section with questions or suggestions"

I hope this helps.

If I add <?php echo recaptcha_get_html($publickey, $resp->error,$request_type == 'SSL'); ?> to my tpl_mega_menu.php file and upload it then captcha only works in the contact us on the main bar. If I remove it then everything works except the one on the main bar.

Hello,

I have the captchacode

includes/templates/template_default/templates/tpl_contact_us_default.php
and it works when the the contact us page is displayed in full.

Your file may be in a different directory if you are using a customised template. Search for the page that contains the text "Please feel free to use the Contact us section with questions or suggestions" to find your contact page that needs the captcha code.

I hope this helps.

Best wishes

Hello, Now I see that you have it on the full contact us page but not on the pop up contact form (do you really need the pop up form as well as the full contact us page?)

If you still need the pop up form then search for your page that contains the words: "Please send us a short message" and add the captcha code to that page too.

Does this Google CAPTCHA plugin work with v1.53? I've just upgraded to 1.53 and my old CAPTCHA stopped working.

HeyIts007:

Should be fine with 1.5.3
