show captcha in page

[ouldfella]

hi

i created a new pages contacticos.php and  call the template contacticos.tpl

with this this tpl file i have this code

{include file="$template/includes/captcha.tpl"}

but the captcha is not whown but this file is included, the probleme is in this variable in this captcha.tpl  :

{if $captcha}

why ?

[brian!]

have you tried adding either of these to the start of contacticos.tpl (depending if it's WHCMS or Google) to create the $captcha variable...

{assign captcha default}

{assign captcha recaptcha}

I think I was politely encouraging you to add that code to the template to make the captcha work.

I believe it should really be enabled in the php file, but you can do it in the template if necessary.

I have no doubt that you can get the captcha working on a custom page - though whether your custom page would actually send the form results to you, I wouldn't like to say!

hi

thank you, i added this code in tpl file

but when i fill the form and send it, the message is sent and received in mailbox,

where to verify if captcha is not empty and correct ?

hmm when I tested it on v7.3, I just created a dummy .php page, copied contact.tpl and added the above code... if I tried to submit the form without filling the captcha, I got the use error message...

so 3 questions...

1. what version of WHMCS are you using?
2. which template (hopefully Six !)
3. are you using WHMCS captcha or Google ?

I think the issue is that the PHP page needs to check for captcha result... so if you were passing back to a page like contact.php, then captcha would work... but on a deprecated WP theme, that gets a little trickier.

ideally, i'd say to go to the Alaska authors for advice on this, but I don't think the theme is supported any more...

for simplicity, I might be tempted to use Google recaptcha - not from within WHMCS settings, but add it yourself directly to the PHP file... plenty of tutorials on the web about doing that.

not relevant to you, but another way to do it within WHMCS would have been to use a support department with custom fields... but as this is a WP site, you have a lot more options and can think outside of WHMCS.
