I am trying to use ReCaptcha with a form that I am building but am running into a problem. I can enter anything (or nothing) in the box for the recaptcha code and the form will submit without an error. Is there some trick to get this working? It displays just fine on the form, but no validation.
Hi gpraceman,
Welcome to the SEBLOD forum.
For the ReCaptcha field, you have to add the Google key. In the Plugin Manager, filter for captcha, and then enter the keys.
If you are working on a local server sometimes it doesn't work properly, so you can substitute the Captcha Math field until its on a real server.
hope that helps,
Randy
I have the private and public keys entered for the plugin. This is on a real server. I have a test site setup on a subdomain but according to the Google information, it should work on any subdomain of the domain. The ReCaptcha displays just fine. Just no validation upon form submission.
Hi gpraceman,
What version of Joomla/SEBLOD are you using?
Instead of using the ReCaptcha, can you test using the Captcha Math to see if that will work?
In the Plugin Manager, do you have the CCK Field - Recaptcha enabled?
Which template are you using?
thanks,
Randy
It is a fresh install of Joomla 3.3.1 and Seblod 3.3.5.
The "Captcha - ReCaptcha" and "CCK Field - Recaptcha" plugins are both enabled and have the public/private keys entered.
I haven't even changed the template from the default one installed (protostar) yet.
I tried switching to Captcha Math, but that won't even display. However, when I use the IP address to access the site, instead of the subdomain name, it will display and validate properly.
As a follow up, I added a contact form using the Joomla Single Contact feature. That captcha works when accessing the site using the subdomain name. So, it looks like there is some issue with Seblod's implementation of captcha math and recaptcha when a subdomain is involved.
