Configuring Friendly Captcha

Using Friendly Captcha

On every form you want to use, you need to render the widget inside the form.

In you template, put this inside the <form>-tag

{{ craft.friendlyCaptcha.renderWidget() }}

You have to enable the forms you want to validate in the settings:

• Contact Forms plugin (Submission::EVENT_BEFORE_VALIDATE)
• User registration form (User::EVENT_BEFORE_VALIDATE)

When you want to validate the request in your custom controller run this:

use digitalpulsebe\friendlycaptcha\FriendlyCaptcha;

// ...

if (!FriendlyCaptcha::$plugin->validate->validateRequest()) {
   // add error here
}

To show error messages in your form, use the submission object (check implementation of the controller you use):

{{ craft.friendlyCaptcha.renderWidget() }}
{{ submission ? _self.errorList(submission.getErrors('friendlyCaptcha')) }}

Using Friendly Captcha with Formie

Use the digitalpulse/craft-formie-friendly-captcha plugin with Formie.

Widget options

You can pass an array of attributes to the renderWidget()-function. Read the Attribute API HTML tags-section in the Friendly Captcha docs.

example:

{{ craft.friendlyCaptcha.renderWidget({'data-lang': 'fr'}) }}
