Extension talk:ReCAPTCHA

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)

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)

Strange error dialog box when attempting to create account or change password
I installed ReCAPTCHA on 1.11.0 and now when any user attempts to create an account or change a password a dialog box pops up saying "Please confirm user you are changing the password for: " and lists "admin" twice. Regardless of which option the user selects or whether the user hits "cancel" or "OK", the password change or account creation proceeds as usual from there.

There is indeed an "admin" account but it is not affected by anything selected in the dialog box.

I'm fairly certain it's ReCAPTCHA because the problem appears even when ReCAPTCHA is the only enabled extension. It does not happen when ReCAPTCHA is disabled.

The curious thing is that ReCAPTCHA does not trigger on password changes, so I have no idea why it would affect a password change.

Any idea what might be causing this?

If you want to see this behavior in action, go to http://www.handweavingresource.com/wiki and try to create an account.

Thanks!
