Freeform and Google Recaptcha

Question

We are looking to integrate FreeForm with the new Google Recaptcha (https://www.google.com/recaptcha), but are unsure where to begin. I was wondering whether anyone had any experience of doing this and can kindly point us in the right direction.

Any help greatly appreciated

Answer 1

You'll need to write an extension that uses freeform_module_validate_begin hook. Inside if your extension method you can look for ee()->input->post('g-recaptcha-response'), and if present, validate it via the reCAPTCHA API.

If it fails, you can add an error to the $errors array, e.g.:

$errors[] = 'Sorry, but you failed the test. Are you sure you're human?';
return $errors;

Otherwise, you can just return the $errors array is-is.

There is a ready to use plugin
