For the people that still have trouble using the DMXzone reCaptcha extension, please try this:

1. Make sure you have the latest version DMXzone reCaptcha 1.1 installed

2. Enter your followup url in the DMXzone reCaptcha dialog. After validating Go To field, instead of entering it as form action.

3. If you still have problems, report DW version and OS and post your page code here.

Greetings,
George

George,

My form posts to SalesForce.com for a form to case function we have set up. The url is in the action attribute of the form. Will that method work with this extension?

Hi Heath,

DMXzone reCaptcha is ment for posting forms that are processed on the same page. You can not validate the form locally and re-post it again to another server.

So your case for posting to SalesForce won't work.

The usual usage of DMXzone reCaptcha is on pages that send mails or do database inserts, locally, based on the form contents.

Greetings,
George

Well, after the latest postings it seems that I am almost there. However, I get a message with no useful content, such as :

REMOTE_ADDR: 89.242.120.237
HTTP_USER_AGENT: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1) AppleWebKit/537.4 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/22.0.1229.79 Safari/537.4

Before implementing Captcha, I used to use a CGI script call in the Form action :

<form method="post" action="/cgi-bin/form2email.pl">


The form2email.pl checks all fields are correct and then posts to my mailbox.

After implementing Captcha, the form method is now :

<form name="form" method="post" action="<?php echo $editFormAction; ?>">


and the Go To field is :

$theCAPTCHA->redirectURL = "/cgi-bin/form2email.pl";


So something is still missing, although what?

David,

Just as I explained above you can not repost the form data to other page than the current when using the reCaptcha.

The form action should be handled on the same page.
For mailing the form for example you can use our Smart Mailer extension that works exactly like this on the same page.

Greetings,
George

if i put the post submission redirect in the captcha redirect url it tells me to take it out else the insert record wont work! If i take it out the captcha doesnt prevent the form from submitting.

My form uses Spry validation on certain fields and is set to POST to <%=MM_editAction%> per the Insert From behavior setup. The captcha form is ignored and the form is processed regardless of what's in it.

My form just ignores the reCaptcha and inserts the record regardless of what's entered for validation.
