How to add captcha to agent contact form

Hello our client has been complaining of spam getting sent through from the contact forms on the website. Joomlaux have done many changes on the clients real estate component, and we cannot update to new version, because then we will lose all of those changes made by joomlaux etc.

Is it possible to give us the correct steps on how to add the captcha to the agent contact form please, like on the current demo.


Thank you for your time

Hello thank you very much for your help. We have tested and it works on the agents page. We have also integrated the captcha into the realty page which can be seen here keicommercial.co.za/index.php/property-p...erence-facility.html , but when we test and enter the wrong captcha code it redirects the user to the homepage?

Any reason why it is doing this r what did we get wrong.


Thanks again for your help

Hi,
I check when users enter the wrong captcha, it still reload it. You try to check back. or try a different browser. If that is not your problem, please describe in more detail, see if I can help you not? Thanks

Hello yes it still redirects the user to the homepage if wrong captcha is entered. We have edited /components/com_jux_real_estate/views/realty/tmpl/default.php and added the 2 files captcha image and the captcha code to the tmpl folder. The area of code we edited was from line 747-766:

Hi
You can help me to make videos of your problem. I tried deleting presentable on code. I find it still running and everything is normal. maybe I do not understand your problem. Thanks

hello what happens is when a user enters the wrong captcha on property listing, it redirects the user to the homepage where it should keep the user on the same "realty" page when a wrong captcha is entered.

Now from being redirected to the homepage, they must then go back to the realty page and try and find the property listing again and reenter the captcha, which by this time they will have left the website.


Do you understand the problem?
