So rewrote my old extension/plugin.

Features:
-Per weblog recaptcha settings
-Per weblog recaptcha private key (if left empty, default one will be used)

You NEED the API keys: http://recaptcha.net/whyrecaptcha.html
-Public Key
-Private Key

Step one: Upload the extension/plugin/language files
Step two: Activate the extension and go into the settings and insert your DEFAULT PRIVATE KEY
Step three: In your CP, go to: Admin > Weblog Administration > Weblog Management and edit each recaptcha settings under “Comment Posting Preferences”
Step four: Go to your template and add the variable to your comment form:
{exp:recaptcha publickey=“YOUR_PUBLIC_KEY” weblog=“some_weblog”}
Step five: Try it out
Step six: Report bugs, feature request etc

publickey=”“ and weblog=”“ are required parameters. Else it will not work.

Depending on your weblog settings the recaptcha will appear/check.
If your weblog settings states that no recaptcha should be done, the {exp:recaptcha} tag will return nothing and no recaptcha check will be done. So no need for {if captcha} stuff.

Take it for a spin.

P.S. Turn off CAPTCHA in your weblog “Comment Posting Preferences” settings (this extension uses it’s own stuff)

Funny, I just started coding a Recaptcha extension myself but I guess you’re first so yours should do just fine

One small typo: Prvate Key (Extension Settings)

EDIT: Looks good, what you might need to mention is to turn off the default captcha behaviour for a weblog if you want to use this.

What I initially had in mind was to use the

hook to modify all the captchas throughout EE to use ReCaptcha but this is however not possible as no hooks are present for gallery comments. All captchas in EE are checked against the exp_captcha table based on the post var ‘captcha’ and you can’t change this in the html ReCaptcha is giving you (without having to use js).

Another thing you might use is to display the

instead of the default

sentence, but then again, this is not translatable easily.

Other than that, great work!

P.S. Check the plugin docs, it’s still saying

...

#############################
### {exp:paginatee:clean} ###
#############################

...

which probably comes from another of your extensions

Works awesome, couple things as per your suggestion.  You have to turn off “captcha” in your web log preferences and remove any {if captcha} blocks.

Another feature request would be to have a way to support {if captcha} so you can turn captcha off for members who logged in.  At least have the option too, you may want to keep it on regardless in some situations but usually you want to turn it off for your members.

Also, if you are signed in as a member, it will auto accept the comment rather than allow you to moderate it.

Updated extension/plugin to 2.0.0
With nice features
Enjoy!

What has changed?

What has changed?

Hey,

Recaptcha settings per weblog.

Like:
non-member: reCAPTHA YES
member: reCAPTHA NO

See first post. I edited it, and included a screenshot

Updated plugin to 2.1.0

-publickey=”” and weblog=”” are now required parameters. Else it will not work.

Thanks “Lexan Systems” for catching that bug.

Hi Victor. Thanks for the extension. In your v.2.1.0 missing language file.

added the language file

Thanks for making this!

FYI, there was whitespace after the closing PHP tag in the language file, which caused “header already sent” errors when I tested. Removing the whitespace fixed my copy.

Can this be modified to work with a “tell-a-friend” email form?

Working great with AnotherMuse’s fix.  Nice Victor!

Hi,

As far as I can tell, this plugin/extension doesn’t replace the captcha on the user registration page with a recaptcha captcha, is this correct?

I’ve installed the plugin+extension and tried to use the extension tag in my user registration form, but it just outputs the tag in plain text.

Having had a look at the code, it appears that I need to modify it to register the hook for member_member_register before I can use it on the user registration page. Is this correct?

Are there any extensions or easier ways to implement reCaptcha on the member registration page? or is modifying this plugin in the way I’ve described the best way to achieve this?

Thanks

Lee

Currently the extension only works in {exp:weblog:entries} tags.

For Gallery/Tell-Friend/Member Registration you need to modify the extension.
Maybe in the future i can add them.
But i am waiting for EE 2.0 before making any changes to my modules.

Hey, I really dig this extension, but having followed all the precautions (I think), I still have a major error. Comments post successfully and redirect back to the correct page, but the page doesn’t render. Correct URL and all, but blank page.
