Getting Recaptcha Working on J1.5 and CF3.2

Hey all,

I'm attempting to do a favor for a friend. They would like to replace the image verification with recaptcha. They're running Joomla 1.5 and Chronoforms 3.2.

I turned off the anti-spam and remove the {imageverification} tag. Then I checked the form and clicked on the recaptcha plugin to enable it and saved the settings (using the global keys for the moment). I then went in an put in the {ReCaptcha} tag. The form is all custom code so I'm not using the wizard/form builder. But it's just straight html form, nothing that would interfere with anything.

When the form loads, the tag {ReCaptcha} shows instead of the captcha form. The APIs are:

http://api.recaptcha.net
https://api-secure.recaptcha.net
api-verify.recaptcha.net

Any help in getting this sorted would be appreciated.

Hi codeninjas,

From memory you need to enable the ReCaptcha plug-in on the plug-ins tab, and configure it with the updates Google ReCaptcha URLs (you'll find them here or on the Google ReCaptcha site).

Hey Bob,

I've looked through the recaptcha site and I'm having trouble finding the servers. I think I've done everything else right. I also generated a new set of public and private keys for the site.

Hey Bob,

Thanks for your help. I found the servers in another post by you here in the forums and changed them:

http://www.google.com/recaptcha/api
https://www.google.com/recaptcha/api
http://www.google.com/recaptcha/api/verify

Also entered in the new private and public keys.

I put the {ReCaptcha} in the form code and it's still just showing up as the tag, not the captcha.

ReCaptcha Verification is showing as number 12 in the plugins tab in a red block with all the others.

Any ideas what I'm doing wrong?

Cheers,

Hey Bob,

I thought that may be part of the problem, but when I click on it, nothing happens.

Cheers,

Nevermind, figured it out. Thanks Bob for all your help!
