Hi Dan!

You can download it here:
http://umbraco.org/assets/contour/UmbracoContour.FieldTypes.ReCaptcha.zip

We're also working on making the source for all build-in field types and workflows available soon, so keep an eye here:
http://umbraco.org/products/umbraco-contour/help-and-support/

Could anyone explain how to install this data type?  I've downloaded the zip, but there are lots of files and folders which I don't know what to do with.

Hi Dan,

The zip contains the full sourcecode. To install you'll just need to copy Recaptcha.dll and UmbracoContour.FieldTypes.ReCaptcha.dll to the bin directory of your umbraco site. And copy the recaptcha-example.gif to the /umbraco/plugins/umbracoContour/images/ directory

After that the recaptcha fieldtype should appear in the fieldtype dropdown

Niels / Tim is there any chance I could get my hands on the source code for the publish page workflow? I have a requirement for one of our contour installations where I need to customise it so that instead of choosing where the form data is published to with a content chooser, I can map it to a dropdown in the form that contains user selected nodes (that represent categories of content).

I figure it'd just be a case of taking the publish page workflow and changing the publish location to use a field map rather than a content picker.

I'm happy to post the resulting workflow to the forum once it's sorted.

:)

Hi tim, send me an email at pph (a) umbraco dk and I'll send you the source

This is perfect to get the datatype into use in contour, thanks.

Is there anywhere to customise the theme settings, etc? Either globally or per form implementation...

This default output, so how would i change this?

<!-- The data entry control -->
<script type="text/javascript">
       var RecaptchaOptions = {
          theme : '',
           tabindex : 0
      };

</script>

For global solution simply edit ReCaptcha.cs like so and recompile dll...

public override WebControl Editor
        {
            get
            {
                recaptcha.Theme = 'clean'; // 'red' | 'white' | 'blackglass' | 'clean' | 'custom'
                //....
            }
        }

Thoughts on a per form theme implementation?
Could you create an option in the fieldtype values to add theme textstring?

Hello

I copied the Recaptcha.dll and UmbracoContour.FieldTypes.ReCaptcha.dll to the bin directory of my umbraco site. I also copied the recaptcha-example.gif to the ./plugins/umbracoContour/images/ directory. However I cannot see the new data type. What else did I miss?

Regards,

Simon

Hi guys,

Shouldn't this just come with Contour? Seems strange that I had to Google CAPTCHA for Contour to find this blog post to get the download link...

Just a thought!

David

For anyone else looking into this, I'd recommend downloading ContourContrib instead of what Niels posted, above:

http://contourcontrib.codeplex.com/releases/view/65266

It gives you some extra reCaptcha options (along with some other goodies) - see the documentation here:

http://contourcontrib.codeplex.com/documentation

HTH,

David

Can someone quickly answer if its possible to use custom fieldtypes like the captcha in the contrib, with contour 3 code first?

It looks like only core fieldtypes can be used, but I dont know for sure.

Hi there,

Could someone post a web page where this is used? (we need to see how this captcha looks like)

Contour 3 has a default captcha type (using recaptcha) http://www.google.com/recaptcha

Hi Niels,

The Recaptcha.dll which is used seems to be bold so it does not work anymore with https. I tried to upgrade it to the latest version by replacing the Recaptcha.dll but it does not work. Google has changed the https connection URL.

Is there any update? I tried also tu use the contrib package instead but this also does not work.

Perhaps you can just explain how to use the latest Recaptcha.dll

Hey Dominik,

The default one in Contour 3 should be a pretty new release, guess to update you can just replace the Recaptcha.dll in the bin

Any details on how to make it work with https ? Then I can take a look

is working on a reply...
