Using reCaptcha with Rails 2.3.12

Question

So I'm trying to get reCaptcha to render on a partial form view that uses HAML. I have tried using the :ruby filter and then adding <%= recaptcha_tags %> but that didn't work, neither has anything else that I've found. Is there a way to implement this?

Ahem, more specifically, can anyone tell me what I need to have for the <%= recaptcha_tags %> helper? Every thing I find on this subject just says "Add <%= recaptcha_tags %> wherever you want it to appear!" and absolutely nothing on what the helper should contain.

I am indeed trying to use Ambethia. I tried using just = recaptcha_tags but that didn't work, I got an error saying it was an undefined variable or method. I installed the Ambethia/reCaptcha as a plugin using script/plugin install git://github.com/ambethia/recaptcha.git and I put config.gem "ambethia-recaptcha", :lib => "recaptcha/rails", :source => "http://gems.github.com" in environment.rb along with my public/private keys.

Okay, got rid of everything I had done initially. Can anyone help me with this? I follow all of the tutorials I can find on it, but none of them explain how to implement/create the helpers for <%= recaptcha_tags %> or <%= verify_recaptcha %> . I'm obviously new to RoR and implementing reCaptcha of any kind, so I'm sorry I'm asking for my hand to be held but I am honestly lost and am not finding any guidance anywhere! Thanks so much anyone and everyone.

Answer 1

did you try simply:

= recaptcha_tags

You don't mention the plugin you're using. I'm assuming this one . If that's the case, the recaptcha_tags helper will return the HTML for the captcha, and you'd insert it into whichever forms you wanted the captcha to appear on.

The <%= %> around recaptcha_helper aren't part of the helper, but rather the way you insert content into erb templates (and other templating languages resembling erb). In Haml you don't need the surrounding tag. It's just = .

Answer 2

I had the same problem and I finally solved it realizing that my form was called asynchronously.

I added:

= recaptcha_tags :ajax => true

and captcha appeared.

Hope this could help the original question.
