Hello to all developers of Virtuemart.
First of all, I would like to thank you for this wonderful software, Joomla & Virtuemart.
I am using Joomla v3.8.11 and Virtuemart v3.2.15.
I would like to report a missing feature or bug, as described below...
As anyone can see even in
https://demo.virtuemart.net/vendor/virtuemart-3-sample-store/contact (https://demo.virtuemart.net/vendor/virtuemart-3-sample-store/contact)
and in all demo installations i.e. download and install
https://dev.virtuemart.net/attachments/download/1120/VirtueMart3.2.14_Joomla_3.8.6-Stable-Full_Package.zip (https://dev.virtuemart.net/attachments/download/1120/VirtueMart3.2.14_Joomla_3.8.6-Stable-Full_Package.zip),
even if we enable ReCaptcha in Joomla config, and in VirtueMart configuration,
the ReCaptcha does not show, since (from what I can understand) is it not implemented in the specific contact php file.
Does anybody know what should be added as a template override to enable ReCaptcha in Vendor Contact Form in Virtuemart?
Kind regards to all,
Panos.
Please notice that it is not a template problem.
I have tried with the default template "vmbeez3",
with a free VM template (https://www.olympianthemes.com/virtuemart-templates/horme-free-virtuemart-template.html (https://www.olympianthemes.com/virtuemart-templates/horme-free-virtuemart-template.html))
plus with another commercial template from linelab (which I had from VM 2).
I believe this is a contact form which has been forgotten to get up-to-date somehow...
Searching in Google says how to disable the contact links, yet I would like to keep the option to contact the shop vendor.
I hope a developer steps in to help us...
Hmmmm, this is a really joomla question, nothing to do with VM.
The contact form is a Joomla view. Works for me with Protostar VM 3.2.12 and 3.2.15.
You have to turn on Recaptcha in Joomla contacts.

At, first, thank you all for your replies.
I will try to elaborated a little bit further on the subject...
I have upgraded to latest Joomla v3.8.12 and lastest Virtuemart 3.2.15
in a demo installation and enabled ReCaptcha in Joomla and Virtuemart.
As you can see in the link below the Joomla contact form is a different contact.php file and the ReCaptcha is working.
http://arvecon3.wisdomsoftware.gr/index.php/el/contact/4-uncategorised/1-contact (http://arvecon3.wisdomsoftware.gr/index.php/el/contact/4-uncategorised/1-contact)
This file is located under the templates folder, current template, html/com_contact/contact/default_form.php
Please notice that on top of the form I have added the text "this is the overridden default_form.php in directory /templates/templatename/html/com_contact/contact"
You can also see that the Product "Ask a question", "Recommend to a friend by email" are also working.

The problem is with VM vendor communication contact.php which is located elsewhere, specificaly under templates/templatename/html/com_virtuemart/vendor.
Please see the link below:
http://arvecon3.wisdomsoftware.gr/index.php/en/terms-of-service/arvecon-e-shop/contact (http://arvecon3.wisdomsoftware.gr/index.php/en/terms-of-service/arvecon-e-shop/contact)
Please notice that on top of the form I have added another text "this is the overridden contact.php in directory /templates/templatename/html/com_virtuemart/vendor"
So, since in the code there is no reference for a captcha and this is a virtuemart file, I think I have reported this issue correctly.
Can a virtuemart programmer shed some light of knowledge on this please?
Thank you all,
Panos.
Please use the following URLs, since I have disabled SEO, etc, in order to simplify the debug process...
The URL links where the ReCaptcha is working are the two below samples.
For a product in virtuemart see the URL below (AskAQuestion, EmailRecommendToFriend):
http://arvecon3.wisdomsoftware.gr/index.php?option=com_virtuemart&view=productdetails&virtuemart_product_id=6853&virtuemart_category_id=61&Itemid=418&lang=en (http://arvecon3.wisdomsoftware.gr/index.php?option=com_virtuemart&view=productdetails&virtuemart_product_id=6853&virtuemart_category_id=61&Itemid=418&lang=en)
Moreover the URL where someone can contact the Joomla user is the one below (with ReCaptcha):
http://arvecon3.wisdomsoftware.gr/index.php?option=com_contact&view=contact&id=1:contact&catid=4&lang=en&Itemid=416 (http://arvecon3.wisdomsoftware.gr/index.php?option=com_contact&view=contact&id=1:contact&catid=4&lang=en&Itemid=416)
The problem is with VM vendor communication contact.php
which is located elsewhere, specificaly under templates/templatename/html/com_virtuemart/vendor.
Please see the URL link below:
http://arvecon3.wisdomsoftware.gr/index.php?option=com_virtuemart&view=vendor&layout=contact&virtuemart_vendor_id=1&lang=en (http://arvecon3.wisdomsoftware.gr/index.php?option=com_virtuemart&view=vendor&layout=contact&virtuemart_vendor_id=1&lang=en)
Please note that I have replaced contact.php in folder templates/templatename/html/com_virtuemart/vendor
with the default one from folder components/com_virtuemart/views/vendor/tmpl/contact.php
but the ReCaptcha is still not displayed.
Thank you all for your support.
Panos.
There is no captcha coded for the contact vendor view
you would need to add to components\com_virtuemart\views\vendor\view.html.php
$this->captcha = shopFunctionsF::renderCaptcha('ask_captcha');
probably in the elseif ($layoutName=='contact') { block
and in contact.php add
<?php // captcha addition
echo $this->captcha;
// end of captcha addition
?>
Thank you for buying a membership, is added. The version will be released tomorrow.
