reCAPTCHA issue...

[jerrypie]

New member, same problem. I'm using an API form; I don't see any error message when an improper value is entered into the Captcha box. When I add the php code 'print_r($fields);' I have a bunch of stuff in the array parentheses. If relevant; here is the URL: http://www.jerrypielemeier.com/request.php

Thanks!

Hi Joe, I'll check it out. Are you suggesting the API is less than optimal or ideal? Or just an alternative for those with this issue? Thanks!

I forgot to mention this is a new install; formtools version 2.2.6.

This is just an alternative with those experiencing this issue. There have been cases where we do not necessarily use the API for reCAPTCHA our clients as well.

Hope this helps.

Cheers,

Joe

Thanks, Joe.

It's been a while since I've worked on this; but I took a look at the alternative. It's actually another captcha altogether. I'd like to see if I can stick with the API if I can. In general the API works, just not an error message when using improper input. Is there tips beyond the documentation (http://docs.formtools.org/api/?page=ft_a...tcha_error) on the error function? Where would the error message display when it works? Are there examples I could see?

Thanks!

We have a tutorial here that you can check out: http://docs.formtools.org/tutorials/post_form_captchas/

Thanks for your assistance. I've switched from API to the POST method and everything works except one minor problem. The 'Reset' button doesn't work after adding validation to my form; the fields do not clear. I've searched the forums, but I haven't seen anyone else report this. Is there additional information I need to include on my 'Reset' line? Currently it is just:
<input name="B2" type="reset" value="Start Over" />

Resurrecting an old post here, but I am having the exact same issue. Brand new download and install.

Sorry for the bump again... I really need a fix for this. I have followed the documentation to the tee and it does not work. Please help. Has there been any further developments?

I have a brand new install, as of this morning.
