Does basic-captcha need a secret?

Support Forms & Blueprints

I want to use basic-captcha in a form.md (for several reasons I don’t want google’s reCaptcha). Now I get the crikey “RuntimeException: No secret provided”. I think I don’t need a secret for basic-captcha?!

@geradok,

I think I don’t need a secret for basic-captcha?!

I think you’re right…

Using a fresh install of latest Grav:

  • Created a contact form

  • Followed the docs for the Basic Captcha field:

    • Added the Basic Captcha field to the form
    • Added the proper process entry to the form
    ---
title: Basic Captcha
form:
  name: captchaform
  fields:
    name:
      type: text
    basic-captcha:
      type: basic-captcha
      placeholder: copy the 6 characters
      label: Are you human?
  buttons:
    submit:
      type: submit
  process:
    basic-captcha:
      message: Humanity verification failed, please try again...
---

Form is working fine.

Thank you so much! I learned that the NAME of the element (not only the TYPE) has to be ‘basic-captcha’ and not ‘captcha’, which is to me a little bit unexpected. My (not working) version was:

    captcha:
        type: basic-captcha
        placeholder: copy the 6 characters
        label: Are you human?
  buttons:
    submit:
      type: submit
      value: Submit
  process:
    captcha:
      message: Try Again!

@geradok, I don’t think your assumption is correct. It is the name of the process variable that must be basic-captcha. That process variable tells the form how the submitted form should be processed.
