Captcha plugin not set or not found J2.5.1

Hello,



I was getting the following error when using the reCaptcha plug-in for the joomla user registration page. I get the following error even though the reCaptcha text box is displayed .

Captcha plugin not set or not found. Please contact a site administrator

This is followed by a fatal error when I complete the registration form, the reCaptcha and submit.

Fatal error: Call to a member function checkAnswer() on a non-object in /html/erielack/test-dev/joomla/libraries/cms/form/rule/captcha.php on line 47

I had the J 2.5 reCaptcha plug selected in the global configuration but I had the plugin unpublished. I just set it to not selected in the global configuration and published both the Joomla and HikaShop captcha plugs. This cleared the error and it appears captcha is now working. Is this the correct configuration?


Thank you,

Paul Cappelloni

I am revisiting this topic as the fix I thought I had actually is working. I have had customers complaining that they captcha challenge is not working as no answers is correct. Since I have the Joomla 2.5 catpcha and the Re-captcha on forms enabled I thinking I have the captcha challenges stacked one on the other or they are cancelling each other out. The only places where the captcha is working are on the contact and in the HikaShop product information request forms.

Is there a way to get the Re-captcha on forms plug-in registered under the captcha category rather having it under the system category? Would this then allow it to be set as the default captcha which should then remove the captcha not set error?

Thank you,

Paul

Nicoles,

I understand that I need to use the Hikashop Recaptcha plugin and that is what I have done in my test environment however I still get a captcha not set error as pictured below.

By the way, I am running Joomla 2.5.6 and HikaShop 1.5.8 now.

Nicolas,

The last post in the forum thread solved the problem. I did not realize there were several locations in Joomla 2.5 to setup the system captcha. I selected "Not selected" in the Global Configuration, User Manager options, and Contact options forms tab and it is now working. You may want to add this bit to the HikaShop captcha configuration documentation.

Thank you,

Paul

Hi Nicolas

I have installed a reCaptcha as per HikaShop's Support Notes at www.hikashop.com/en/support/72-hikashop-...-with-recaptcha.html

To cut a long and currently unfinished story short, reCaptcha is working fine in some places, but is missing from the HikaShop Online Shop "Registration Form" menu (index.php/hikashop-menu-for-hikashop-registration).

I am still trawling the support pages for clues and found the current thread. Can I add my vote to Paul's request to update the reCaptcha support notes, please?

Thanks
David
