How to Make ReCaptcha a Required Field

We just got some spam on our form so I filled it out and left ReCaptcha blank. Ah! It wasn't set as a required field.

...so I went into Chronoforms but cannot see how to make ReCaptcha be required.


(I've been looking through the forums to see if I can find an answer, I'll keep looking but so far I hadn't found an answer.)

Okay, watched the video a few more times. I missed the 'event loop'.

Now the form is almost working correctly. It's going to be much easier to show than to type out what I'm seeing, made a quick/unlisted video on YouTube...

Hi Twisk,

The form isn't live (or I can't find it) which makes it hard to diagnose. This may be a problem with SEF URLs and that the form is not submitting; or it might be a JavaScript problem with making the ReCaptcha required.

Does it work if you use the Test Form or View Form links from the forms manager?

Sorry 'bout that, my boss asked me to take it offline 'cause of the spam.

The same thing happens when you click 'Test Form' and try it that way. Here's the URL for that...

The form submits correctly if you fill out ReCaptcha correctly. It's just that if you skip it or fill it out incorrectly and try to submit, ReCaptcha disappears.

Quick update: I was using ACE SEF for SEF URLs. I deactivated them and tested the form again.

It submits correctly, but same thing if you skip it or get the ReCaptcha wrong. It won't submit (which is good) but the ReCaptcha box disappears.

Hi Twisk,

Do you have the Ajax Submit turned on? I don't know much about it but I suspect that won't work with ReCaptcha.

Bob

I did have an Ajax plug-in for the front-end of the site, but it's disabled. Not sure if that's what you mean or something else maybe?

I just checked and it was set to 'YES'.

I set it to 'NO', saved, cleared my browser's cache and tested the form. Presto! That did the trick, thank you yet again!! 🙂
