How to add reCAPTCHA to custom forms

rloyola · April 2021

I already enabled the reCAPTCHA plugin and it is working in registration form.

Now I have a custom form for anonymous users and I want to use reCAPTCHA in it. Is there a way to add it in a form?

Thanks

Yes. Its as easy as adding this to your form validation logic

if (Captcha::validate() !== true) {
     $sender->Form->addError(Gdn::translate('The captcha was not completed correctly. Please try again.'));
}

...and this to your form view:

Captcha::render($this);

I also add this in the form

        <?php
          echo $this->Form->label("Security Check", '');
          echo $this->Form->captcha();
        ?>

Thanks!
