SOLVED - Captcha/recaptcha and registration issue

[Pejo]

Hi,

I have J2.5.14 and VM2.0.24c

After upgrading from 2.0.6 to 2.0.24c I didn't see any problems till now. My "Register" button does not work anymore.
I had popup way to register, but now popup does not show anymore.

Funny thing is that just beside it, button "Login" works, and on the other side "Cart" popup also works, but Register does not respond at all.

I have made custom HTML with text "Register" and link over it, but when I press nothing happened.
When you are over "Register" you can see that it is a link, but when you press it, nothing happened.

Any idea?

I found error. Maybe this will help to some others with sam or similar problem.

My REGISTER button is made as popup, but popup stop working few days ago. I did not know why or how, but after sitting from 21:30 till now - 06:45 I finally find what was wrong and that is captcha/recaptcha.

Joomla did not still update it (I have download/upgrade to latest version of VM and Joomla, but that did not help), so if you have problem with registration or captcha, do this:

open plugins/capthca/recaptcha/recaptcha.php and find this:

Code Select Expand

const RECAPTCHA_API_SERVER = "http://api.recaptcha.net";
const RECAPTCHA_API_SECURE_SERVER = "https://www.google.com/recaptcha/api";
const RECAPTCHA_VERIFY_SERVER = "api-verify.recaptcha.net";

and change it to this:

Code Select Expand

const RECAPTCHA_API_SERVER = "http://www.google.com/recaptcha/api";
const RECAPTCHA_API_SECURE_SERVER = "https://www.google.com/recaptcha/api";
const RECAPTCHA_VERIFY_SERVER = "api-verify.recaptcha.net";

or like this:

Code Select Expand

const RECAPTCHA_API_SERVER = "http://www.google.com/recaptcha/api";
const RECAPTCHA_API_SECURE_SERVER = "https://www.google.com/recaptcha/api";
const RECAPTCHA_VERIFY_SERVER = "www.google.com";

Google has change recaptcha path, so I think this will work for all Joomla versions.

This should work.
