ReCaptcha:
After you create your form, go to Wizard Edit. Select the "Events" tab. In the On Load section, drag "Load ReCaptcha". In the On Submit section, drag "Check ReCaptcha" and put any appropriate events in the "On Success" and "On Failure" portions of the Check Recaptcha event.

Did all that and it still doesn't work. Do I need to disable Captcha for ReCaptcha to work? How do I do that? I cannot find the disable flag anywhere in V4.

Hi chuckmeister999,

There is no disable in the way that there was in ChronoForms v3. Just delete the Captcha Element and the Load Captcha and Check Captcha actions if you have them in the OnLoad or OnSubmit events.

I've used ReCaptcha on other websites and have a valid Public and Private key for my new website, the one using ChronoForms. I have the Load ReCaptcha in the On Load event right after the Show HTML. I have the Check ReCaptcha first in the On Submit event but it doesn't show up. Nothing I tried seems to make any difference. And when I try the Captcha nothing happens then either. I must be missing something so simple that you are assuming I am doing it. What could that be?

Hi Chuckmeister999,

You need to use a Custom Code element (drag it into the Preview box) to add {ReCaptcha} into the Form HTML.

Ok, I put a Custom Code element in the form - what custom code do I include in it?

Thanks - the ReCaptcha element is showing up now but it is not working correctly. If I leave it blank, the submit event goes to PayPal without asking for a correct ReCaptcha input. If I put in the input using the correct words I get an error message "Could not open socket". What's the next obvious thing I should be doing to make it work? (I will put this entire learning experience together in a pdf and send it to you Bob when my form finally works the way in needs to) Is this information in one of your tutorials that I missed?

Hi chuckmiester999,

Hmmm . . . could be a JavaScript problem.

Please post a link to the form so we can take a quick look.

Hi chuckmiester999 ,

Hmmm . . . it looks as though the ReDirect to Paypal is happening before the Check ReCaptcha.
By all means email or PM me the site URL and a SuperAdmin login and I'll take a quick look.

Please forgive me if I ask something completely simplistic - in the Events section of a form, the run sequence is from the bottom up? I have been assuming it is from the top down like the elements of a form. Please clarify this. What order are the Events run?

Hi chuckmiester,

Top down is correct.
