Would it work if I call the function "ccommentHelperCaptcha::insertCaptcha" again through a link or button? Thank you gerhard Check this box to be notified of replies to this topic.

Well, I thought about the same when I was working on it, but due to time constraints I decided to omit the reload button. It should be reintroduced once we get 5.0 stable.

Also I would actually disable the captcha till I get the first spam comment.
Today hosting providers will fight spam before it even gets to your server. Also in ccomment5 the form is generated with javascript, which makes it "invisible" for most of the current spambots. Someone would need to write a spam bot that specifically targets ccomment in order to abuse the form & I don't think that this will happen very fast.

Thank you for the explanation.

This absolutely makes sense.

Unfortunately my customer wants to have captcha in the form and wants reload capability.

So I'll try to convince him again that captcha is not needed. If he doesn't agree, I will have to wait for 5.0 stable.

I only need the free version of ccomment for the project I'm working on presently. But I will buy a subscription because of the great job you're doing, both in programming and in support.

Cheers
gerhard

I have already logged out and back in again. It is working now. I was in the wrong topic (Hotspot) and have subscription only for ccomment Check this box to be notified of replies to this topic.

What about this:
developers.google.com/recaptcha/docs/customization

Custom theming.
In default_form.php on line 183 you can change the code to:

					<div class="ccomment-recaptcha-placeholder">
						<div id="recaptcha_widget">
 
							<div id="recaptcha_image"></div>
							<div class="recaptcha_only_if_incorrect_sol" style="color:red">Incorrect please try again</div>
 
							<span class="recaptcha_only_if_image">Enter the words above:</span>
							<span class="recaptcha_only_if_audio">Enter the numbers you hear:</span>
 
							<input type="text" id="recaptcha_response_field" name="recaptcha_response_field" />
 
							<div><a href="javascript:Recaptcha.reload()">Get another CAPTCHA</a></div>
							<div class="recaptcha_only_if_image"><a href="javascript:Recaptcha.switch_type('audio')">Get an audio CAPTCHA</a></div>
							<div class="recaptcha_only_if_audio"><a href="javascript:Recaptcha.switch_type('image')">Get an image CAPTCHA</a></div>
 
							<div><a href="javascript:Recaptcha.showhelp()">Help</a></div>
 
						</div>
					</div>

Then in media/com_commentjs/views/comment-outer.js you'll have to change line 244 from

code : "white"

to

							theme: "custom",
							custom_theme_widget: 'recaptcha_widget'

And voila! now you should be able to style recaptcha as you want with css.

I have just spoken with the customer and he agreed on not using captcha until he receives spam. But your solution might be useful for further projects.

That way developers would have great flexibility. Check this box to be notified of replies to this topic. Note: BBcode and smileys are still usable.
