[Solved] Email Verification with ReCaptcha

WhiteLighter01 09 Sep, 2013
Hi all,

After receiving reports from a few users that the Captcha is always returning an error message (I've seen it only once so I know the the code entered was correct but still returned an error), I tried implementing Honey Pot trap. But Honey Pot trap was only able to weed out 20% of the spam. Today, I started to test ReCaptcha.

I got ReCaptcha working properly with simple forms, but with forms that requires email verification, I'm having some issue. The process works perfectly:
[list]User fill up form[/list]
[list]Put the right ReCaptcha code[/list]
[list]Submit[/list]
[list]Users receives the email verification[/list]
After the steps above, when the user click on the URL to verify their email address, it only redirects them back to the form instead of going through the "On verify" event. I checked the URL, action=verify is there and the hash value is correct. Any idea on what's causing the problem?

Thanks,
Jay

Hi Jay,

Should that be event=verify ??

Hi Bob,

I used the {verification_link} on the email. I also tried changing the "action" to "event" but it didn't solved the issue. I have attached a backup of the form (if that would help).

Bob,

Did you get a chance to look at it?

Anyone else encountered this problem? or am I just missing something?

So, I tried to create a new form from scratch and it's working perfectly. I might have just messed or missed something when editing the previous form. ^_^
