Installation

  1. Install the plugin with the Joomla extension manager, then publish it in the plugin manager (System - HikaShop Captcha integration).
  2. In the Joomla Global Configuration, in the Site tab, choose a captcha in "Default Captcha". The plugin uses that captcha: any captcha plugin made for Joomla works, for instance reCAPTCHA or the proof of work captcha of Joomla 6.1.
  3. Open the settings of the plugin and choose the forms to protect.

With "Default Captcha" set to none in Joomla, nothing is displayed.

Configuration

The Captcha integration settings

  • Captcha Caption: the text displayed next to the captcha. Empty, the word "Captcha" is used.
  • Use in registration forms: Yes (default) displays the captcha on the HikaShop registration forms, including the registration step of the checkout.
  • Display after: where the captcha appears in the registration form: after the Password (default), the Email or the Address.
  • Use in contact forms: No by default. Yes displays the captcha on the HikaShop contact form.
  • Use in withdrawal forms: No by default. Yes displays the captcha on the HikaShop withdrawal form, for customers who are not logged in. It needs HikaShop 6.7.0 or later.

Troubleshooting

  • No captcha is displayed: check that the plugin is published and that a captcha is chosen in "Default Captcha" in the Joomla Global Configuration, and that the captcha plugin itself is published and set up.
  • "The captcha verification failed. Please try again.": shown on the withdrawal form when the answer was wrong or missing. The customer can try again.
