How to Install ReCAPTCHA in OJS 3.1.1-4

thankyou

israel.cefrin · September 25, 2018, 11:53pm

Google recaptcha is built-in on OJS 3.1.1-4. To enabled it you need set recaptcha parameter to On in config.inc.php file and add your pub and secret keys parameters for your domain registered in Google Recaptcha Tool.

; Captcha Settings ;

[captcha]

; Whether or not to enable ReCaptcha
recaptcha = on

; Public key for reCaptcha (see http://www.google.com/recaptcha)
recaptcha_public_key = your_public_key

; Private key for reCaptcha (see http://www.google.com/recaptcha)
recaptcha_private_key = your_private_key

Hi @hussainyousaf

It is required that you add your domain on the https://www.google.com/recaptcha/ and copy the public and secret key from this online tool into your config.inc.php section.

I dont know if this problem could be related with the version por the captcha. V2 or V3.

hussainyousaf · June 10, 2020, 8:50am

@israel.cefrin Please check screenshots, I am facing recapcha validation check not passing properly from last 3 days with new registrations. Please guide.

Hi @hussainyousaf,

I’ve removed the two screenshots that included your ReCAPTCHA private key. Please be careful not to post private information to the forum! I would recommend resetting these keys in order to be sure that nobody has taken them.

Thanks @asmecher i have changed but what is the solution of my issue? Please guide.

Hi @hussainyousaf,

I believe there have been a few changes since early releases of 3.3.0-x related to proxy settings. If your server is using a proxy to connect to the outside world, and you’re not up to date, you might want to upgrade to a newer release of 3.3.0-x. I don’t recall any other relevant changes but there may have been some.

If you’ve double-checked your settings (API keys, config.inc.php, etc) and it’s still not working, you might try debugging the response that the Google server is giving OJS. For 3.3.0-x, look in:

https://github.com/pkp/pkp-lib/blob/d9f0070bf668a4c3b78c7c84689fbab976341db6/classes/form/validation/FormValidatorReCaptcha.inc.php#L74

The value of $response->getBody() would probably be good to dump to the error log via the error_log function, if you’ve got some basic experience with PHP.
