Extension talk:ReCAPTCHA

deleted the following
I deleted the following two points from the Notes section of the page since they appear to be quite unnecessary.


 * 1) You will need to call ConfirmEdit in LocalSettings.php using require_once( "$IP/extensions/recaptcha/ConfirmEdit.php" ); (in addition to require_once( "$IP/extensions/recaptcha/ReCaptcha.php" );).
 * 2) I found the previous instruction to be false. I initially enabled ConfirmEdit, but it caused a problem with the redeclaration of a variable, so I disabled it and reCAPTCHA then worked fine, using MediaWiki 1.11.0 on Linux.

The first is not right - recaptcha.php does a require_once( "ConfirmEdit.php" ); so you clearly don't require the LocalSettings.php change. This of course makes the next statement redundant. Michael Daly 02:31, 12 October 2007 (UTC)


 * This extension only worked for me by disabling ConfirmEdit (even after checking to make sure I had the most up-to-date version). T0lk 08:12, 28 November 2009 (UTC)

reCAPTCHA API Key Not For Current Domain Error
I just upgraded to MediaWiki 1.11 and everything seems to be working fine but when I encounter a page that usually have a reCAPTCHA on it, it now says that the reCAPTCHA key wasn't created for the current domain, but I had been using the same API key before I upgraded and everything worked fine, anyone have any idea what can be causing this?

Fixed: Nevermind, for some reason I did indeed have to create new keys, even though before upgrading the ones I had worked fine. --BlaenkDenum 01:10, 20 November 2007 (UTC)

 * You're not supposed to require_once both ReCAPTCHA and ConfirmEdit in LocalSettings.php. —Emufarmers(T 06:08, 12 June 2009 (UTC)

I have the same fatal error. But there is no captcha on the site when I take out require_once( "$IP/extensions/ConfirmEdit/ConfirmEdit.php" ); and leave require_once( "$IP/extensions/recaptcha/ReCaptcha.php" ); It also doesn't work if i leave the first require_once and take out the second. Ideas? I am using the latest versions of mediawiki, confirmedit.php, and recaptcha.


 * Confirming above. No captcha when I remove require_once( "$IP/extensions/ConfirmEdit/ConfirmEdit.php" );, and fatal error when included with require_once( "$IP/extensions/recaptcha/ReCaptcha.php" );.  MediaWiki 1.15.1, ConfirmEdit r50221 --FoohonPie 22:33, 9 August 2009 (UTC)
 * So it turns out I was wrong, I just wasn't testing properly. Works fine if you remove the ConfirmEdit require, just make sure when you test that you are including an external link(with  tag and all), otherwise the captcha won't be triggered. --FoohonPie 22:37, 9 August 2009 (UTC)
