reCAPTCHA and Submit URL issue

Diego Mello 19 Aug, 2009
Hello,

This is the first time I use ChronoForms and things are going really nice. Congratulations for the work.

Well, I have enabled the reCaptcha plugin in my form and it works fine when the Form Action is a page in my domain, but the problem is that I must submit the form to another site ( a Brazilian payment gateway, like PayPal ).

When I set the action to their address ( https://www.pagamentodigital.com.br/checkout/pay/ ) reCaptcha becomes useless, the form is submitted even if reCaptcha is empty.

Any idea of what the problem might be?

I just found that using external Form Action the emails also stop being sent after form submission.

Thanks in advance.

Hi Diego,

When you use an external action ChronoForms never sees the form results - they are sent directly to the extternal link. So ChronoForms cannot check the AntiSpam or send Emails or save data.

If you use the OnSubmit URL you must ensure that the extranal site does these checks or set them up with JavaScript inside your form.

In this case you'd probably be better not using an OnSubmit URL but use the ReDirect Plugin instead, this will let you pass a user on to an external URL *after* processing the form data.
