Recaptcha accepts any input

[andranos]

Hi There

First of all, awesome plugin, It worked perfectly under my localhost.
The thing is, when i tried it on my server, it doesn't work
It accepts any input the users gave and this is using the same code i used for my localhost.
Also, i already tried several keys and of course, with the enable global domain so i'm 100% sure it's not my error
Anyone can help me with this issue?

Have you configured your form markup correctly?

The thing is README is missing code for server side validation. I wasn't able to figure out the correct syntax so had to use a different plug-in

The validation of the field is handled in the behaviour.

Hi,
But then I think this Behaviour is not getting executed by default. Maybe the files needs to be moved to a different location and/or some other configuration is missing/not documented.

Also maybe you can also add another couple of lines on how to use this when SecurityComponent is on.

var $components = array('RequestHandler', 'Security' => array('unlockedFields' => array('recaptcha_challenge_field','recaptcha_response_field')));

Hello,

I just implemented the Plugin into my Cake site and I am encountering the same issue - the plugin does not correctly validate i.e. it accepts any input.

The view looks like this:

$options = array( 'theme' => 'white', 'lang' => 'en'); 
echo $this->Recaptcha->show($options);
echo $this->Recaptcha->error();

In my controller I have added :

 public $components = array('Recaptcha.Recaptcha');
 public $helpers = array('Recaptcha.Recaptcha');

As well as

    Configure::load('Recaptcha.key');

in the action itself.

The Recaptcha form gets displayed correctly, but it does not throw an error when entering incorrect (or even no) text.

I am using Cake 2.4. Please advise

Still no response? Wow...

I ended up switching to a different plugin altogether, @xcy7e : https://github.com/CakeDC/recaptcha
