reCAPTCHA is a new, free, webservice for generating and verifying captcha challenges with some collateral benefits. Last night I dished out some Rails helpers for it. I’ve even gotten a patch in to add some features I hadn’t implemented yet.
- RDOC at http://ambethia.com/recaptcha
- Plugin at http://svn.ambethia.com/pub/rails/plugins/recaptcha
It’s pretty straight forward to get up and running, checkout the README.







where are the recaptcha examples?
great plugin
wondering if you have any tips for using it in a form that is updated asynchronously…
I figured out a way to use the reCAPTCHA AJAX API, which takes care of my problem.
Just submitted an enhancement patch to your lighthouse tracker.
thanks again and enjoy!
Thanks for this!
One thing… It looks like the display options are being unnecessarily HTML escaped. If I specify the theme to be ‘blackglass’, I see in the output:
var RecaptchaOptions = {"theme": "blackglass"};
I can easily work around this of course, just FYI!
