Recaptcha picture doesn't appear in Beez3

[bonti2]

When i switch the template from Protostar into Beez3 my re-captcha doesn't work. I don't get a picture with words in my browser. When using Protostar template it works fine.
Anybody with an idea how to solve this issue in Beez3?

(installed joomla version: 3.0.3.)

I'm having the same issue. Have you found a solution yet? Thanks.

Have you looked in Firebug to see any errors?

[nothinrandom]

I've installed Firebug for Chrome. Opened up the page, no error at all.

Also...another topic. when I hover over the any text with tooltip (especially registration) Beez3 template, the description goes out of whack. In protostar, it appears with a black background and a nice popup. With Beez3, it goes off to the side without a black background...just a mess

For those who are wondering by recaptcha doesn't show up in Beez3 registration (even at joomla 3.2.0), it's because the API server url is incorrect. If you go to registration page and use a developer tool (JavaScript console in Chrome), you will see that link is not available.

To fix this, go to line 22 in \plugins\captcha\recaptcha\recaptcha.php:

Change
const RECAPTCHA_API_SERVER = "http://api.recaptcha.net";

to
const RECAPTCHA_API_SERVER = "https://www.google.com/recaptcha/api";

Hope this works for you

You need to make more changes than this.

Changes are needed on lines 22, 24 & 129.

Thanks John. Do you know why the latest version of Joomla doesn't address this?

[JAVesey]

My guess would be because Google changed things after J3.2.0 was released.

The change has been committed to the core so will be incorporated into the next updates (2.x and 3.x) I'm sure.

Hi to all,

I have the same issue: On my joomla 3.1.5 I'm using Bootstrap for my template (like Protostar) and I have enableb the default Recaptcha to show it in Contact page, but instead to have back the Recaptcha form I can only see the title "Captcha *" with the tooltip, nothing more...

I tried editing the recaptcha.php file as you suggest, changing the three lines, but nothing is changed

Please, maybe, Am I missinig anything ?
I attach here the file I modified

Thank you to all for help

[bumpycase]

what google says is they are withdrawing support for legacy url......and says they only gonna support https.....I used the same url for api server and api secure server.....and its working fine for now......will there be any problem in the future

Thank you John "JAVesey" !
This is a main Joomla update, not just a Beez3 template bug.

Great solution in https://github.com/joomla/joomla-cms/pull/2437/files

Sorry for bringing this topic back up on top.

I still have the 'no show reCAPTHCHA' issue on my e-mail form.
The suggested changes in recaptcha.php are implemented, but no show.
However, it does show up in my guestbook (phoca)

Now what to do??

website url: www.pe1pqx.eu
Mailform: http://www.pe1pqx.eu/index.php/home/e-mailen
guestbook: http://www.pe1pqx.eu/index.php/home/gastenboek (click post message)

[mouitchoune]

Hi PE1PQX and everybody,

I have the same problem as you did : no reCAPTCHA picture, only the label, whereas my recaptcha.php is fine.
( http://istm.brin-de-toile.fr/component/ ... Itemid=101)

I work with Joomla! 3.3.6, the plugin is well activated, the default captcha set to 'reCaptcha' in the site configuration page and the contact form configuration page.

I see that you fixed the problem on your own guestbook page : how did you do ?

Thanks for your answers...

Hello everybody!

I hope you can help me

I have problem with ReCaptcha in Joomla 3. I use SJ PLUS V2 template from smartaddons. In contact form I only can see Captcha*. The file recaptcha.php has already the corect code in lien 22, 24 and 129, and also I have corect Private and Public key from google/recaptcha, but it still not working.

I tried to instal other templates with joomla3 and its works perfectly. I also asked on smartaddons forum but nobody answered me

Here you can see the problem on my test subdomine http://testsite.wasalum.es/index.php/kontakty

Please tell me where is the problem!!! Thanks

[leolam]

@ all
1) make sure you have the correct keys entered in the proper fields of the captcha plugin
2) make sure in configuration re-captcha is enabled
3) make sure the re-captcha plugin is enabled
4) Do NOT make changes to any core files in J3.3.6--> they are correct

Hello Leo!

Thanks for you quick answer. I already got a new key from http://www.google.com/recaptcha for http://www.testsite.wasalum.es but it still not working. The plugin recaptcha is enabled. All seems ok. I tried to instal orignal Joomla 3 and its works perfectly with default key.

I have 2 weeks loooking for the problems. Can I ask you something. If you could please instal this template and tell me if you have the same problem. I leave you here link to download this template, its free http://www.smartaddons.com/joomla/downl ... -joomla-3x

If you are going to instal this template on localhost you will fined the problem in 3rd step of instalation of joomla. For fix it you just have to reemplace the or in file php.ini (I use Denwer) change this line from max_execution_time = 30 to max_execution_time = 60. Or also you can reeplace from original joomla3 folder "hathor" in this directory administrator\templates\hathor\

Thank you!

What did you do here?

Leo

[leonmb]

Leo, During instalation of joomla3 in this template in 3rd step I had problem and joomla cant instal, this is popul problem for joomla3, here you can see what I mean http://www.optimumtheme.com/blog/troubl ... -step.html

In other forum the people sugested me to replace the folder "hathor" from original joomla to this templaate, I just moved this folder "hathor" from original joomla to SJ PLUS V2 template and replace it and when the isntalation of joomla3 is ok.

Before I thoght that problem coul be here in replacement of this folder, so I tried other option to change php.ini the code I put you before.

Did you tried to instal this template?

[leolam]

Leon,
all you are doing is plain wrong!

Can I ask you something. If you could please instal this template and tell me if you have the same problem.

No I won't unless you purchase a support package. I do not provide free of charges individual 1:1 support here on the forums since that would not be fair to our paying clients. I also never install free templates since they always contain dirt and hidden links --> no free template comes without that!

If you are going to install this template on localhost you will fined the problem in 3rd step of instalation of joomla. For fix it you just have to reemplace the or in file php.ini (I use Denwer) change this line from max_execution_time = 30 to max_execution_time = 60.

We do own a rather successful Joomla hosting operation and non of our servers has these problems since 30 seconds is insufficient per definition. Our servers are set to 90 seconds. So this is not a Joomla problem but a server problem in your case.

Or also you can reeplace from original joomla3 folder "hathor" in this directory administrator\templates\hathor\

No you cannot since that won't ever work properly. You cannot just mix (parts of) templates. That advise given to you is a very bad advise by somebody who does not understand this properly

Leo

[leonmb]

Hello Leo.

Thank you for some your advise. But I think that FORUM is the place where the people can help each other, and its wont be mater is I use free template o paid template. Many of clubs temblate have free and paid version of their templates and extention. Before I have used a lot of free other template from other clubs and they works perfectly, and the forum of support always answerme to me question, even I was free member.

What about replacement of the folder hathor maybe it was bad advise, but the second time I install this template I just change the execution time to 60 and its good perfect. I asked in this forum for help, not to recieve sugest about not to use free template.

But thanks anyway...

[leolam]

If you use free templates from sophisticated template clubs --> nothing against it and only good for your wallet. If you use others my remark applies. I can point you to several threads on this forum where we have warned users against many "free" templates that are coming with hidden scripts etc etc See VEL warning: http://vel.joomla.org/articles/1250-mal ... lates.html

Hello Leo, All

Thanks for all your efforts & suggestions, I have this same problem that the re-captcha is not working neither on my own theme nor on Joomla's "Beez" theme. It is working only very fine on "protostar" theme. I mean by "not working" that the label only appears but not the captcha image or code. I've made inspect element and there was no html code for the input field at all.

I'm using Joomla 3.4.1
I've enabled the plugin "Captcha - ReCaptcha". Its settings all are fine, version: 2 - Site key - Secret key: all filled properly from the account I created on "http://www.google.com/recaptcha"
Default captcha option is selected fine to "Captcha - ReCaptcha" from the global configuration.

As mentioned it is working fine on "protostar" theme only, so could it really be a theme issue and not a configuration or something missed in the plugin or the installation steps?

Appreciate your time & help.
