cpatcha image questions

Hi,

I added on captcha item on my registration form.
I saved the form and lets say that is working fine.

Since i added a captcha item on my form, Do i have to go in plugins tab area of the form and check the check box of the "Recaptcha verification"?
If i select the above option what would be the difference?

One more thing
What is the purpose of the outer "Recaptcha Verification" plugin area?

Do i have to check both of the above options in order for the plugin to work properly?

Thanx

Hi ioannisi,

There are two quite separate anti-spam tools here. The ChronoForms imageverification one is added through the Wizard or by adding {imageverification} to your Form HTML. You can enable and manage it from the Anti-Spam tab. This tool does a server-side check using stored token.

ReCaptcha is a different anti-spam tool - you use it by including {ReCaptcha} in your Form HTML code; by configuring it with the ReCaptcha Plugin link (as in your image); and you enable it in the Form Plugins tab. ReCaptcha is a third-party tool that also uses a servoer-side check through the ReCaptcha servers. More or ReCaptcha here

Please don't use both :-)

Hi Bob,

Thanx for your reply.
It helped me to understand many things regarding the functionality of chronoforms

So i would like to ensure the following:
1. from the first image i can choose what plugins to use in the form
2. from the second image i can configure the plugins of the first step
3. If i want to use the 3rd party tool i need to manually include {ReCaptcha} in my Form HTML code
Am i right?

I would also like to ask under which path of the com_chronocontact dir can i find the source code of the {imageverification}?
Actually I am interested to decrease the size of the text box of the image

Thanx again

Hi ioannisi,

1, 2, 3 - Yes

The code is in components/com_chronocontact/chrono_verification.php

Thanx Bob,

Could you please tell me what portion of code to modify in order to reduce the size of the text box?

Hi,

size="10"

OR

style="width:40px;"
