Check this addon.

The addon you mention isn't working in prestashop 1.4, at least not without making any changes to its' code. Do you have some direction on how to make it work properly? I am not using ps default theme by the way.

Thanks for your reply

Adding reCAPTCHA to contact form (for version 1.4.x)

- Create an account/login to https://www.google.com/recaptcha/

- Create public/private keys for your domain

- Download latest library from Google: http://recaptcha.googlecode.com/files/recaptcha-php-1.11.zip

- Unzip and (for ease of use) rename folder to recaptcha, delete example files so you end up with the folder structure:

 recaptcha
   LICENSE
   README
   recaptchalib.php

- Edit attached ContactController.php to enter public and private keys you obtained from Google

- Make a copy of /themes/[your theme]/contact-form.tpl

- Modify the original /themes/[your theme]/contact_form.tpl to add the contents of attached add_recaptcha.txt immediately above the code shown below, at the very bottom of the file

       <!-- insert contents of add_recaptcha.txt here -->


           <input type="submit" name="submitMessage" id="submitMessage" value="{l s='Send'}" class="button_large">


</form>
{/if}

- Upload recaptcha folder and its contents to the root of your installation

- Upload modified /themes/[your theme]/contact_form.tpl

- Upload ContactController.php to /override/controllers/ directory

- Test contact form

- If everything OK, delete /themes/[your theme]/contact_form.tpl copy you made

- User facing wording in add-recaptcha.txt can be modified to your liking before adding it to contact-form.tpl or in back office >> translations.

- add_recaptcha.txt uses a white theme. See http://code.google.com/apis/recaptcha/docs/customization.html for other colour themes and modify to your liking within script tag

var RecaptchaOptions = {
   theme : 'theme_name'
};

.

- It is possible to add more options within that scrip element. See above URL for extra options.

- The style element in add_recaptcha.txt is there to center the recaptcha, so it is optional.

<style type="text/css">
#recaptcha_area { margin: 0 auto;}
</style>

----
Edited to add:

I could turn this into a module but I cannot think of a clean way to modify the tpl file that will survive across updates and theme changes. I could:

- Backup and replace the theme tpl during module installation, but then a theme change must be hooked as well.

- Insert captcha code on the fly using JavaScript (since CAPTCHA required JavaScript to work anyway)

both of these seem messy solutions to me. Any ideas?

Great post.I followed this and got a recaptcha working on the contact form .
Maybe a little change in code should make this work on other forms too.

[djrbx]

Could you help me? I followed the directions but couldn't get it to work on 1.4.4.1. Once done and I click on the contact form link, I get the "could not find page error"

[phrasespot]

I don't know why it is not working with 1.4.4.1. It has been in my TODO list to turn this into a module at some point though now I am not certain how useful CAPTCHAs will be after the paper by El Ahmad, Yan and Tayara. The whole thing seems like an exercise in futulity and p****ing off legitimate users. It is not really worth spending any time on it, and as long as it requires manually modifying core files, someone will have problems with it. I will come back to it if Prestashop devs adds a hook to the contact form ( a couple of lines for them). Harass them and I will build a module for you if it the hook is added

[djrbx]

Thanks for your time though. I'm sure it works great and I understand that not all installations are the same. I may contact you in the future for custom modules if you do not mind.

[phrasespot]

Thanks for your time though

You're welcome, sorry it does not work for you. I will test it on a 1.4.4.1 at some point. I cannot say when though. If anyone got it working with 1.4.4.1 let us know please.

...if you do not mind.

No, not at all.

[preerp10]

I found this thread by searching for a captcha for the contact form too.

After reading that paper (link in reply 12) it got me thinking...

I wonder how hard it would be to put a picture in the form with a field where the user must type in the object in the picture. If it was a static picture that would be really simple and it would be far less of an inconvenience that trying to get those recaptchas figured out.

 

For example, if there was a picture of a bear. Users would type in "bear" in the field in order to get the form to submit. Of course it could be set up for different languages too.

[shoreacres]

thank you for the great post. i am using prestashop 1.4.8.2, i have followed the instruction to recaptcha on the contact form.

recaptcha is not showing up on the contact form but when i send test message, it give error that " incorrect response to CAPTCHA challenge. Please try again ". any idea why it's not showing up on the contact form.

[tdr170]

You must Follow the directions closely I have had a working Captcha from this exact post for some time.

Make sure when you create your Captcha account that you have the correct url to your site.

Be sure that you have pasted the Public and Private keys correctly into the ContactController.php file.

Make sure you have a recaptcha folder in the root of the shop with the recaptchalib.php file inside.

This has worked for me in 1.4.6.8 - 1.4.8.2

 

 

[Lex-Luthor]

good job

As would be done for use in the form of new users

thanks

I followed the instructions below and got it working perfectly. However, i actually tried all the steps a few times as the box and send button was not showing up at first and then i cleared the smarty cache & compile & and then everything worked. (should have thought of that earlier ) Thanks so much for the tips phrasespot!

 

Btw, could anyone be able to tell me how to move the captcha box to the middle of the form as it's now on the left? Also, can i use it on more then 1 form? I tried adding it to productquestion.tpl as well but only the text showed up.

 

Thanks in advance!

thanks for your detailed explanation how to add this to the contact form, works like a charme. just 1 more question, does the very same approach apply to the sendtofriend.tpl as well by just adding the code part to that tpl?

I just try the zprofess with prestashop v1.5.4.1,

the registration captcha also fail to work, it only display.

[mma87]

HI to all!

thanks for this best tread!!

I add the captcha in the contact form, but how can I add it to the request info into product page?

I add the code containded into add_recaptcha.txt in product.tpl but it doesn't work...

[Pyssou]

Hi all,

i followed phrasespot solution, and the captcha is seen on my contact page.

However, when i enter a wrong code it send the mail ! someone had the same problem ?!

 

Thanks

[hemjesti]

hi guys - first - thanks for a great post - but, for me - just like eeeeeeverything else, it didn't seem to work. Things never go smoothly for me on these things.

 

couple of questions. on the attached ContactController - where the key's go. do we keep or remove the ' around the 'put publick key here'

 

also - on my contact form, it shows the COPY of the add_recaptcha.txt but not the typical distorted words one see's on a captcha.

 

my form submits just fine - but i never see the captcha screen. any ideas where i dropped the ball?

 

thanks again for a great post - i look forward to quickly resolving this issue.

[hemjesti]

any thoughts on this ? perhaps i'm overlooking something?

[Khundo]

Hi work fine for ps 1.4.0.17 thank you

[Lee]

This is no longer working correctly since Google have updated the recaptcha to version 2, and are discontinuing version 1 before the end of March 2018.

Does anybody know how to update the code so this works with the new version 2 recaptcha?

This would be good to have for older versions of Prestashop since the recent russian spam emails coming from the insecure contact form.

 

thanks
