Joomla 3.5 the captcha is no more visible

[patbe60]

After upgrading to Joomla 3.5 the captcha is no more visible in both, user registration and ask a question.

VM 3.0.14
J 3.5.0

Confirm this is happening on mine too same versions.
The recaptcha div is not populated.
<div id="dynamic_recaptcha_1"></div>

EDIT: If I set version to 1.0 in the plugin settings it works so obvoiusly a Version 2.0 problem.

[WebStuff]

It works if I comment out line 63 and add the following to the else for the version check at line 61. in [ROOT]/plugins/captcha/recaptcha/recaptcha.php :

Code Select Expand

$file = 'https://www.google.com/recaptcha/api.js?onload=JoomlaInitReCaptcha2&render=explicit&hl=' . JFactory::getLanguage()->getTag();
JHtml::_('script', $file);
//JHtml::_('script', 'plg_captcha_recaptcha/recaptcha.min.js', false, true);

$document = JFactory::getDocument();
$theme = $this->params->get('theme', 'clean');
$document->addScriptDeclaration('jQuery(document).ready(function($) {$(window).load(function() {'
. 'grecaptcha.render("' . $id . '", {sitekey: "' . $pubkey . '", theme: "' . $theme . '"});'
. '});});'
);
I assume it isn't finding plg_captcha_recaptcha/recaptcha.min.js possibly due to a wrong path?

Hi mirrorsandglass,

Works for me, but only for askaquestion, not for virtuemart registration...

Works for both things in your sites?

Thanks!

Reports of Captcha problems elsewhere for other extensions. Seems the Joomla devs have not made the new version 2 backwards compatible.

Back to Joomla 3.4.8 and Recaptcha not work in registration page (1.0 or 2.0).

I try with protostar and same thing...

Hi franayala,
Yes it works for me in both askaquestion and registration.
Sorry for the obvious but make sure you have the tick box checked in Configuration/Configuration/Shop

Hi mirrorsandglass!

No worries.

This option is checked, but not works for me

Any idea?

Thanks a lot!!

Hi franayala,
Only other things I can think of causing this problem for registration are your template, another plugin or a script conflict.
Without knowing your site it would be impossible to tell.

Try without template overrides or using just the default template.
If you have any other plugins that are used during registration try de-activating them one at a time, if you can, and see if that solves the problem.
Firebug in Firefox is great for spotting script conflicts.

Sorry I can't be more help.

If select the version of 1, and then somehow it works
I loaded the old file (/plugins/captcha/recaptcha/recaptcha.php), also worked in version 2.0 but with some flaws

Thank you.
It helped for registration form

Joomla 3.5.1 has no mention of Captcha fixes.

Just tested my installation again with J3.5.1 and VM 3.0.14 on Firefox 45.0.1 with these results:

Does not show on VM 'Recommend to a friend' and 'Ask a Question' even with Beez template. When you click Submit, it displays 'The CAPTCHA solution was incorrect.'
      
Does however show and work on VM Cart / Checkout page when clicking on the Forgot Password and Forgot Username links.

The fix for /plugins/captcha/recaptcha/recaptcha.php enables Recaptha to work on VM and also on at least one other component that had the same problem.

Maybe easier to understand the code change here:

this forum post got the same problem:
http://www.vi-solutions.de/en/forum-index/19-joomla-extension-visforms/899-graphic-error-with-captcha-recaptcha-2-0

and the solution seems to be more elegant:

Code Select Expand


$captcha = JCaptcha::getInstance('recaptcha');
$html = $captcha->display(null, 'dynamic_recaptcha_1', 'required');


maybe wrapped with a few checks would work even better:

Code Select Expand


if (class_exists('JCaptcha') && (method_exists('JCaptcha', 'getInstance')))
   {
   $captcha = JCaptcha::getInstance('recaptcha');
   if (method_exists($captcha, 'display'))
   {
   $html_captcha = $captcha->display(null, 'dynamic_recaptcha_1', 'required');
   }
   }


best regards, stan
