ReCaptcha

[seymourjames +]

Just a quick post to say many of the users of templatecodes are using Recpatcha for spam control. However the standard red color is pretty dominating and some might say awful.

To give the ReCaptcha a neutral set of colors which are much more befitting you just need to uncomment this piece of code by moving it up above the */

<?php
/*
<script>
var RecaptchaOptions = {
theme : 'clean'
};
</script>


The code sits right at the top of the file in modules/recpatcha/libs/recaptchalib.php . Further styling can also be carried out if necessary:

it does not work with me

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '<' in C:\Program Files\xampp\htdocs\68c4\modules\recaptcha\libs\rec aptchalib.php on line 2

Try it on a live server rather than locally and have you signed up with them???

yes of course. The module works fine online, but not with your code

This is where the code comes from. It works fro me and a few of my customers. You must be doing something wrong (you have taken it out of the commenting haven't you). If you are using xampp then you are not on a live server but a local server setup!!! you cannot get the same behaviour.

It even gives you this change in the actual module download (recaptcha/libs/recaptchalib.php). so if it is wrong then the wiki is wrong, the code supplied by recpatcha is wrong as well.

<?php
/* To make it clear <script>
var RecaptchaOptions = {
theme : 'clean'
};
</script>

now I dont have error message but the theme does not change any more

You give no details and cannot be helped. Try to give details or what is the point in asking. And once again. If you are not on a live server, it may not work. Who knows what you are doing, what version of 68C you have , a screenshot or a link, etc.

For some reason, this code doesn't show up in my recaptchalib.php file. I downloaded Eric's module from:

68 Classifieds reCaptcha Module ? Eric Barnes

According to the wiki...I should be able to add the code...would this go in the recaptchalib.php file? And if so, where in the file?

Thanks!

OK I see now it is not included in Eric's download but it is part of the Wiki and standard download from ReCaptcha.

Correct. Put it at the top. like this for example

<?php
<script>
var RecaptchaOptions = {
theme : 'clean'
};
</script>

/* bla bla

*/
