Download the PHP package cake17/cakephp-recaptcha without Composer

Google reCAPTCHA for CakePHP 3

This plugin is still under development...

Plugin's Objective

This plugin adds functionalities to use the new Google reCAPTCHA in CakePHP projects. For now multiple widgets on a single page is not available.

Requirements

• PHP >= 5.4.16
• CakePHP 3.x
• Server under localhost name. Be aware that the widgets will not be displayed if you have a vhost named local.dev/dev/ for instance.

Installation

[Using Composer]

Add the plugin to your project's composer.json - something like this:

And run composer update.

Because this plugin has the type cakephp-plugin set in it's own composer.json, composer knows to install it inside your /vendor directory. It is recommended that you add /vendor to your .gitignore file. (Why? read this.)

Usage of plugin

1. Enable the plugin

In your config/bootstrap.php file:

Plugin::load('Recaptcha', ['routes' => true, 'bootstrap' => true]);

2. Go to Google reCAPTCHA site

Go here to create a pair of keys for your website.

3. Create or copy the reCAPTCHA config file

• Either copy the default file in /config/recaptcha.php from /vendor/cake17/cakephp-recaptcha/config/recaptcha.default.php.

• Either use the composer install command to add in composer.json that will make the copy for you To use it, add the following snippet in your project composer.json and run composer run-script post-install-cmd after::

  ... "scripts": { "post-install-cmd": [ "Recaptcha\Console\Installer::postInstall" ] } ...

Whatever the method you used to copy the recaptcha config file, don't forget to put /config/recaptcha.php file in .gitignore.

4. Fullfill the information in /config/recaptcha.php

• sitekey: get it on google website
• secret: get it on google website
• lang: see the list on google website
• theme: dark or light
• type: image or audio

If you don't have a key and a secret, an exception will be raised.

5. Then add the component in your controller where you need the reCAPTCHA.

For example:

public function initialize() {
    parent::initialize();
    if ($this->request->action === 'contact') {
        $this->loadComponent('Recaptcha.Recaptcha');
    }
}

6. Add the following in your controller.

public function contact() {
    if ($this->request->is('post')) {
        if ($this->Recaptcha->verify()) {
            if ($contact->execute($this->request->data)) {
                $this->Flash->success(__('We will get back to you soon.'));
                return $this->redirect($this->referer());
            } else {
                $this->Flash->error(__('There was a problem submitting your form.'));
            }
        } else {
            $this->Flash->error(__('Please check your Recaptcha Box.'));
        }
    }
}

7. No need to add the helper.

It will be added with the component.

8. Finally add <?= $this->Recaptcha->display() ?> in your view template inside the form.

For example:

<?= $this->Form->create() ?>
<?= $this->Recaptcha->display() ?>

<?= $this->Form->input('name', [
  'label' => __('Your Name'),
  // 'default' => $this->request->query('name'); // in case you add the Prg Component
]) ?>
<?= $this->Form->input('message', [
  'type' => 'textarea',
  // 'default' => $this->request->query('message'); // in case you add the Prg Component
  'label' => __('Your Message')
]) ?>

<?= $this->Form->button(__('OK')) ?>
<?= $this->Form->end() ?>

See another example of contact with no form in src/Controller/ContactController.php, src/Template/Contact/index.ctp and src/Form/ContactForm.php. You can test it by going to http://localhost/recaptcha/contact.
