Hi...
I want to have ANTI SPAM code CAPTCHA code in my forms as a field, but I dont see, any good way to do that 🙄
do so sinh, do so sinh cho be, quan ao so sinh, do dung cho be, do lot, quan ao thoi trang, quan ao nu, ban buon quan ao, thoi trang cong so, vest cong so, ban buon quan ao, do lot
Whats the way out with ChronoForms to enable the anti spam code ??😑

Hi!
The simple Captcha is found under the Anti Spam tab. Select "Yes" under "Use Image verification", and add {imageverification} to your form where you'd like the Captcha-image and input to be placed. If you are using the Form Wizard, there should be a special Captcha field from the toolbox.

If, for some reason this Captcha does not work (your web server lacks support for the GD-library or such), then there's the ReCaptcha plugin you could use and enable. I'm not that familiar with the ReCaptcha plugin, but I recall there being several threads on this topic all throughout the forum.

Do you know what file you can edit to change the FormWizard Captcha item from the toolbox to {ReCaptcha} instead of {imageverification}?

I figured it out to a certain extent. Please only do this is you are only going to be using ReCaptcha as image verification not if you are planning to use both default chronoengine and Recaptcha.

*Open CFElements.js located : /root/administrator/components/com_chronocontact/js/
edit line: 261 from {imageverification} to {ReCaptcha}
it should look like this:

/////////////////////////////////////////////// CAPTCHA
var CFCAPTCHA = new Class({
    initialize: function(style, size, name){
        this.text = '{ReCaptcha}';
    },
	createElement: function(){
		this.thecaptcha = new Element('span');
		this.thecaptcha.setText(this.text);
		return this.thecaptcha;
	}
});

*Open elements.php located: /root/administrator/components/com_chronocontact/themes/default/
delete lines from 133 - 140 and paste {ReCaptcha}. it should look like this

<!--start_cf_captcha-->
{ReCaptcha}
<!--end_cf_captcha-->

*now find {imageverification} and replace with {ReCaptcha} in the following files:
elements.php located: /root/administrator/components/com_chronocontact/wizardthemes/default
elements.php located : /root/administrator/components/com_chronocontact/theme1/

!!!!!
The only thing I have not figured out is how to change the text when you drag Captcha element from toolbox to your form area on the wizard, but after you save it and go back to it in the wizard you will see {ReCaptcha} in the element. Cheers!

Hi needhelp,

This is a lot of hard work. If you open the Form HTML box in the Form Editor you can just replace {imageverification} with {ReCaptcha}

Bob

lol true, but i noticed the css that i have written or is pre-written makes the ReCaptcha box borken, this is why I stripped all the divs from it in one of the elements.php box. Ideally it would be great if you could drag the "Captcha" element from toolbox and it would have an option to use imageverification or ReCaptcha (with out any containers or different class for this specific container.).

Hi needshelp,

True, it's the pre-written CSS, you have to remove one or two of the surrounding divs (I forgot that). You can easily make a Wizard Custom Element though.

Bob

ReCaptcha is not working for me. Here's the default code from the HTML box surrounding {ReCaptcha}.

<div class="form_item">
  <div class="form_element cf_captcha">
    <label class="cf_label" style="width: 150px;">Enter these words:</label>
    <span>{ReCaptcha}</span> 
    
    </div>
  <div class="cfclear"> </div>
</div>

What do I need to edit?

Jose

Hi Jose,

That looks fine. Have you configured and enabled the ReCaptcha plugin?

Bob

Hi Bob,

Thanks for the quick reply. I believe I did. I selected the form, clicked on ReCaptcha in the Plugins menu, and clicked save. Is there anything else I have to do to configure?

Here's the link to the site with the form: http://67.19.240.147/~mgrwomen/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=24&Itemid=10

I have not activated it yet. I'll do that once we go live 🙂

Hi baxterdown,

You have to enable the plugin on the form Plugins tab (green bar is enabled).

Bob

Hi Bob, that was it! IT WORKS GREAT!!!!! Thanks so much! I'm going to implement it on all of our sites!!! :mrgreen:

Hi, I’ve just spent half a day browsing the internet and this very forum and the answer has been right in front of my eyes! So simple. Thanks.

My captcha is always the same as it was... How can I put random captcha?

Any help?
