Hi

Joomla contact component is not having anti spam protection feature. I had worked out solution to add recaptcha anti spam protection as following.
Please read it in continuation to my previous post. k2community.joomlaworks.gr/forum/topics/registration-recpatcha?page=1&commentId=3536014%3AComment%3A7520&x=1#3536014Comment7520

Please add {captcha} after line no 63 of file components/com_contact/views/contact/tmpl/default_form.php
Please add appropriate line break tag and instruction text.

I am attaching modified file so you can directly replace the file in above said directory but don't forget to install and enable plugin reCAPTCHA Integrator Plugin download from www.joomlaez.com/
I will hope that it will help community to add recaptcha anti spam protection in contact form

Hi

I have been following your excellent posts regarding enabling Recaptcha in K2 and I have stumbled across the issue whereby I can refresh the comment form for my post and the ReCaptcha graphic appears....then it promptly disappears before my users get a chance to complete form!.

To recap my setup I have summarised my steps as follows:

Firstly, go to the recaptcha.net/ and create your reCAPTCHA Key for either you single domain or all domains (globally)

Go to www.joomlaez.com/ then download and install the JEZ reCAPTCHA Integrator Plugin
Now, login to your Joomla administration panel and navigate to Extensions -> Plugin Manager -> System - JEZ reCAPTCHA Integrator then configure JEZ reCAPTCHA Integrator plugin as following:


Enabled: Yes
reCAPTCHA Public Key: your public key
reCAPTCHA Private Key: your private key
Inclusion Syntax: Yes
Auto-verify: No


On the Joomla administration panel and navigate to Components -> K2 -> Parameters
Enable reCaptcha: Yes
reCaptcha public key: your public key
reCaptcha private key: your private key


Using your FTp client or SSH or whatever

edit /public_html/components/com_k2/templates/default/item_comments_form.php

Comment out lines 34-35 and add the {captcha} inclusion syntax as show in the attached item_comments_form.php form

Any ideas please?

Hi
I think you are doing everything correct except you are not selecting yes to auto verify in JEZ reCAPTCHA Integrator Plugin, After selecting it to yes,it will work.
If you are facing any difficulty then please post your feedback.
Best of luck.

Hi

Well the feedback is Yes and No! Yes after setting auto verify I did have the reCAPTCHA graphic on my form. I was about to reply to you then I thought I better make absolutely certain......

I have now test it a number of times:
1) My site does appear more sluggish when rendering the form
2) when I input the contact form and press TAB to enter the 2nd Word in the reCAPTCHA graphic the reCAPTCHA graphic simply disappears ( without any postback involved)
3) The reCAPTCHA graphic and sometimes the submit button do NOT occasionally appear on the form when I ever refresh the form.

Regards

Hi
It is very unfortunate that this solution could not worked at your website.It is working normal at my website.
I think that reason of sluggishness are following,
1- slow response of recaptcha.net website
2- css and template related issue
Please check your php error file.
It is better to check recaptcha functionality in different form other than k2 component, if it work fine then implement in k2 comment,please don't forget to disable recaptcha functionality in k2,please also get ensure that some other plug in not get installed which are using recaptcha.
I hope above may help you.
With best wishes.

Hi
It looks to me that you are using a different plugin or an older version. On the top right of the plugin settings page
you should see:

JEZ reCAPTCHA Integrator implementation Joomla! 1.5 plugin v1.0.0 (Show / hide details)

I hope that helps
