How do I use the ReCaptcha with submitcontent?

Hi,

you need to add a new element to the form and set its text to {ReCaptcha} and enable the ReCaptcha plugin for this form under the plugins tab and configure it well!

I'm having problems getting it to work could you look at my code and tell me what I'm doing wrong? I wanted to make sure it didn't display if the user is logged into there account.

<div class="form_item">
	<div class="form_element cf_heading">
		<h1 id="" class="cf_text">Got a Joke or Fact? Submit it!</h1>
	</div>
	<div class="clear">
 </div>
</div>
<div class="form_item">
	<div class="form_element cf_text">
		<span class="cf_text">To submit a joke simply put in a title for your 
		joke <br>then put the joke in and then finally put in the name you would 
		like to appear next to your joke in our newsletter.<br>
		If you would like to submit a fact please put FACT in the title box and 
		your fact in the story body!</span></div>
</div>
<div class="form_item">
	<div class="form_element cf_heading">

Ok I got it to display but the box you type in is off on the form. And I'm still not able to figure out how to make it not required if your logged into the site.

Hi mkabwilliams,

You can get the input box back in place by removing one of the Divs that ChronoForms wraps round the input - the cf_inputbox one I think. The ChronoForms css overrides the ReCaptcha formatting.

At the moment I don't think that there is ny way to remove it for registered users without hacking the code. Maybe I can add that for a future release. You can hide the input box easily enough but when you submit the result will be rejected :-(

The fix for the time being would be to add a ReCaptcha manually and make both parts conditional.

Hi,

This code should reset the plugins set to run when the form is viewed but it will not affect those run when submitted, this will be available in the coming release though, so this may be possible starting from RC5.1

$user =& JFactory::getUser();
if($user->id){
$MyForm->setFormParam('plugins', '');
}

Cheers
Max
