thank you for advice.. but you guys must think I’m a programmer.. sorry Im just a networking guy with web design hobby. When it comes to PHP I’m a green horn but have been hacking WP for some time now with decent success. with that said here is where I stand and what I have tried.. so far no good

I have been working in bp-core-signup.php

I inserted this ***** add_action( ‘signup_extra_fields’, ‘public.php’ ); *****

before line (and tried it after ) 123ish

do_action( ‘signup_extra_fields’, $errors );

and also

I inserted this

add_filter( ‘wpmu_validate_user_signup’, ‘private.php’, 10, 1 );

before line (and tried it after )

return wpmu_validate_user_signup($_POST, $_POST);

am i putting it in the right areas??

the code in public.php is a follows:

<?php

require_once('recaptchalib.php');

$publickey = "…"; // you got this from the signup page

echo recaptcha_get_html($publickey);

?>

the code in private.php is a follows:

`

<?php

require_once(‘recaptchalib.php’);

$privatekey = “…”;

$resp = recaptcha_check_answer ($privatekey,

$_SERVER[“REMOTE_ADDR”],

$_POST[“recaptcha_challenge_field”],

$_POST[“recaptcha_response_field”]);

if (!$resp->is_valid) {

die (“The reCAPTCHA wasn’t entered correctly. Go back and try it again.” .

“(reCAPTCHA said: ” . $resp->error . “)”);

}

?>

‘

I did indeed try adding the code directly in the fields (both with and without php tags) ** add_action( ‘signup_extra_fields’, ‘code-from-above-pasted-here’ ); ** .. that didn’t work out..

Help please? Thanks

I’ll keep hackin John.. can anyone confirm

a) I’m supposed to be modifying bp-core-signup.php

b) I’m inserting, add_action( ‘signup_extra_fields’, ‘function_name’ );, into the correct line number – currently 121 ish

c) I’m inserting, add_filter( ‘wpmu_validate_user_signup’, ‘function_name’, 10, 1 );, into the correct place line 126 ish

rich, wp-recaptcha works in my comments section just not the sign-up piece.

I didn’t install wp-recaptcha in mu-plugins as it would force it sitewide however since you said you didn’t have issues I’ll give it a try in about 1 hour. I can live with it being forced sitewide.

Thanks for the input, I’ll let you know how it goes.

would be nice if this topic dived deeper into apeatlings comment “Attach it to the action ‘signup_extra_fields’ and it will show up” how does one do this? or is it better to leave this to the uber php geeks?

good idea on changing the wp-signup.php

lets mark this resolved..

bottom line is if you want to use wp-recapatcha you need to install it in mu-plugins

thank you all for your help.. I’m going to start working on my theme now..
