reCAPTCHA for J6

We need a new approach for adding CAPTCHA protection to forms on the websites.

I have replaced the plugin in \Shared joomla Software\111 - Essentials\reCaptcha for J5\ReCaptcha3_UNZIP\plg_recaptcha3

Install as you would any other plugin.

Disable the existing CAPTCHA Plugins

captcha plugins

Get the reCAPTCHA Keys from:  https://console.cloud.google.com/security/recaptcha?hl=en&project=metagaap-map-api

Select the relevant website

recaptcha keys

In this instance I am using the Kinedo keys that extend over the installersaniflo.co.uk website.

Click Edit Key

recaptcha edit

Now you can see the websites that shre the key and the keys themselves

recaptcha keys copy

Copy the site Key and the Secret Key into the plugin

recaptcha plugin

to protect the forms add the following code to the 'Element Selector' of the Plugin.  Where the plugin ID is the '3' numeral shown.

rsform_3_page_0

If there is more then one form then use the following syntax, where you have four forms with IDs 3,4,5 and 6

rsform_3_page_0,rsform_4_page_0,rsform_5_page_0,rsform_6_page_0
