Hello, I have noticed for 2/3 days that the Recaptcha plugin on the store has been running in a loop.
When you click on the check box the circle spins and nothing happens. It is therefore impossible to register.

Do you have an idea ?
There have been no recent technical changes to the store.
What do you think ? Have you encountered this problem recently.
Nothing special in the browser development console.
Thanks
Environment :
Joomla 3.10.12
Virtuemart 3.8.9 10514
PHP 7.4.33
MySQL 5.7.42
It seems that the problem comes from the Mootools Javascript library. There is an incompatibility with Google recaptcha. This mainly impacts Joomla v3.x.
While waiting for the migration to Joomla 4.x and Virtuemart 4.x, do you know of an alternative?
I tested the Amy Captcha extension https://aimy-extensions.com/ (https://aimy-extensions.com/) without success because it does not integrate with Virtuemart's registration form.
Thanks
Could you disable mootools plugin?
I had the same problem in J3 (not with VM) and this plugin worked for me on contact forms

Hi,
disable mootools.
In my case it helped on captcha in Joomla but the one with VM after turning off mootools returns invalid-key. :(
Hello,
A patch was found for version 1.4.5 of mootools on this forum: https://github.com/google/recaptcha/issues/539 (https://github.com/google/recaptcha/issues/539)
The solution must be able to adapt to version 1.4.2 to 1.6.0.
The modification consists of modifying the array.from function of mootools.
Array.from = function(item){
if (item == null) return [];
return (Type.isEnumerable(item) && typeof item != 'string') ? (typeOf(item) == 'array') ? item : slice.call(item) : [item];
};
in this
Array.from = function(item){
if(new Error().stack.indexOf('recaptcha') >= 0) return [].slice.call(item); // Single line added for reCaptcha fix
if (item == null) return [];
return (Type.isEnumerable(item) && typeof item != 'string') ? (typeOf(item) == 'array') ? item : slice.call(item) : [item];
};
To avoid making the modification, the patched files (there are two versions of mootools, the normal one and the compressed one) can be found as an attachment. and they should be placed in the ROOT_of_site/media/system/js/
Remember to clear the cache to do the test.
Have a good day.
I also found an extension that may help. Be careful to check that Mootools is not used on other parts of your site.
