Thanks for this great help.

I love it when a plugin installs easily, works the first time and does what it's supposed to do! Thanks so much Julio!

Great for reducing email spam from your website. Just get it!

The version 1.0.1 has option to use Joomla contact component, so no coding needed.

Just sign up to get your recaptcha keys and add them to the plugin and it works.

This is just what I wanted - a Captcha with no core hacks. Thanks very much sir. Easy to use and works a treat. The instructions are a bit muddled, Portuguese if obviously the first language of the coder, but it really is easy.

There are a few posts below with people who are struggling. If this helps, then I used it in conjunction with the Rapid Contact module.

1. Install this plugin, activate it and stick in the public and private keys you get from Recaptcha.
2. Install the Rapid Contact module.
3. Modify the Rapid Contact file located at modules/mod_rapid_contact/mod_rapid_contact.php in two places;

- Add the line

print ''; plgSystemJCCReCaptcha::display(); print '' . "\n";

under the message area of your form and before the submit button, two lines from the bottom.

Then add the following code in the error handling section (around line 70);

global $mainframe;
$return = false;
$mainframe->triggerEvent( 'OnCaptcha_confirm', array(null, &$return));
if ( !$return ) {
$myError = 'Captcha Information Incorrect';
}

Simples! Hope this help someone. Cheers.

Installation easy, no problem and thanks to the version 1.01 you can install it for the contact component without any coding

I had spent hours on this plugin and could not get it to work. There are no clear instructions and the ones that are available (from postings at the bottom of a web page) are unclear unless you are some kind of tech hard core coder! I do not recommend anyone using this plugin until proper support and clear instructions are given.

Just what I have been looking, I had tried several others which were just to complicated or came with to many unneeded features. After about 10 minutes of figuring out where the code went it works flawlessly. Thank-you

It takes a matter of moments to install and set up.

Though, it may help to include a "read me" file of sorts, just to advise interested parties to the following:
a) The zip file includes 2xplugin one being for contact and one being for system and that both need to be activated in the back end of Joomla.
b) That interested parties should go and register with the Recaptcha site to obtain public and private keys.

Other than the above, it's an great addition to joomla and all being well it will assist in reducing the amount of spam being received via the joomla contacts form.

Many thanks for putting this extension together.

I have installed both plugins to use reCaptcha with my contact form but contact form can't show the captcha from recaptcha.net. The contact page shows blank white boxes under the contact form.
Using Firebug I can view the captcha image in HTML code of the page.

I have tried other captcha plugins in the past and had lots of trouble getting them to work reliably, but JCCreCaptcha is just so simple to install and use. Try it!

It did just what it said it would do and it was very easy to install. FYI, if you want to install it for and use it for the default Joomla! contact component, pelease use the version 1.01. Its on the site.

I've searched for reCaptcha, and this one is just great! It's a little bit advanced for integrating it with a component, but the yvComment integration tutorial is very useful to solve my problem!

very simple integration!!
