I've purchased & installed this program and the reCaptcha displays correctly but unfortunately the form can be processed without verification. The form also uses Dreamweaver spry text validation.

Hi All,

First, sorry that I've missed this topic. It seems it was market as solved.

Next - this is an old topic which we have addressed with a big update of the DMXzone reCaptcha extension Version 1.1, so the code solution is not needed any more.

So please make sure you install the latest version 1,1 first.

Then you can enter your followup url in the DMXzone reCaptcha dialog. After validating Go To field, instead of entering it as form action.

So please try this and preferably on a new created page.

If you still have problems please report to this new topic:

Greetings,
George

I don't have a problem with CAPTCHA but did want to offer ReCAPTCHA to my clients. I tested ReCAPTCHA on my site and couldn't get it to work. I finally stopped working on it.

Hmmmmmmm well at this rate I'll have to go to another company as well.

Vulcho - I really want to stay with dmxzone, but not really getting anyway. I kind of want to get something else from your site, but wont' be until I get this one sorted out.

cheers guys

As a rule, DMXZone extensions work as advertised but this one seems to have a problem.

Hi Glenn

After all my other field validation sections and before I enter a record into the database I insert this:


if($_SERVER['REQUEST_METHOD'] == "POST" ) 
		{ // if form is submitted
 		if (!isset($mm_abort_edit) || !$mm_abort_edit) 
			{ // and validation is fine
			$GoTo = "map.htm"; // redirect to a new page
		 	if (isset($HTTP_SERVER_VARS['QUERY_STRING'])) 
				{
				$GoTo .= (strpos($GoTo, '?')) ? "&" : "?";
 				$GoTo .= $HTTP_SERVER_VARS['QUERY_STRING'];
	 			}
	 		}
		}

	if ($mm_abort_edit == 1) {
		echo '<p class="maintextactive">You need to enter the 2 security words correctly with a space in between<br /></p>';
		$found_error = "True";
	}
	
				   
	 if ($found_error != "True")  { 
	 


This first bit is the part that Vulcho gave us (which I admit I dont' fully understand what it does. Then I added this:


if ($mm_abort_edit == 1) {
		echo '<p class="maintextactive">You need to enter the 2 security words correctly with a space in between<br /></p>';
		$found_error = "True";
	}


The fist part from Vulcho stops the form submitting when the 2 recaptcha words are incorrect. The second bit stops the form submitting when the recaptcha is correct but sometimes another field is incorrect.

Hope this helps :-)

QuoteYou need to make sure your form is using method="POST" and action="action_url_goes_here" points to your current page!

Your action should not point to another page!


I must be thick, as I don't understand what you mean by "points to your current page". Do you mean the page with the form itself?

I use POST and the action is currently set to be a validation page. The form page is at www.broadstone.net/contact2.php. If the form is filled and and "Send" clicked, the Captcha is ignored and the form processed.

So could you please explain what I need to do now?

Wouldn't it be easier to alter the video to add the missing steps that are necessary to make reCaptcha work?

Dear Liz,
Can you tell me where exactly did you insert the code which Vulano gave you. I'm using the ASP not PHP but when I put the code between head / head it does not work.
I will appriciate any help.
Greetings

if($_SERVER['REQUEST_METHOD'] == "POST" { // if form is submitted
if (!isset($mm_abort_edit) || !$mm_abort_edit) { // and validation is fine
$GoTo = "thank_you.php"; // redirect to a new page
if (isset($HTTP_SERVER_VARS['QUERY_STRING'])) {
$GoTo .= (strpos($GoTo, '?')) ? "&" : "?";
$GoTo .= $HTTP_SERVER_VARS['QUERY_STRING'];
}
header(sprintf("Location: %s", $GoTo));
}
}

I'm still in the dark as to what to do to get reCaptcha to work. Is the video going to add the missing details?

I think, it should be much easier if the video add the missing steps. I have the same problem since I bought the reCaptcha in May. Please consider adding some missing steps

This thing is driving me crazy!

I have a simple contact form and a simple mailer.
I added the reCapture but verification is failing all the time and I tried all. I does not work!!

As seen in the Video:
I cannot point to form variables in CS6 and I can't select Format in PHP as in the video.

So I need Help or I cancel the payment.
It's frustrating!!

Php
DW CS6

Thanks
Michael

did anyone get a resolution on this? My page posts to another page but even when I tried positing to itself the form submitted without filling out the captcha. Did I waste my money on this?
