How can I disable the Captcha?

[humborg]

I've installed Coordino for my users to try as a collaborative knowledge base, and the captcha is a complete showstopper.

Is there a straightforward way to completely disable the captcha? I'm not afraid to modify the source files if it's necessary.

Thanks,
Kenn

Kenn,

Thank you for posting this, we will port this feature into the Admin system.

A quick way to disable the captcha is to change the line display_form('echo');?> right at the end of app/views/posts/ask.ctp to display_form('echo');?>

That will completely disable the captcha on the question page, but if you still want the captcha for non-registered users you could change it to check('Auth.User.id')){ $recaptcha->display_form('echo');} ?> which will check to see if the user is logged in or not and then display the captcha accordingly.

Ooops. Didn't account for it checking the captcha...
You'll need to comment display_form('echo');?> in apps/views/posts/view.ctp as well.
Then in app/controllers/posts_controller.php on line 57 look for
$this->__validatePost($this->data, '/questions/ask', true);
and change it to
$this->__validatePost($this->data, '/questions/ask', false);
and then on line 87 find
$this->__validatePost($this->data, '/questions/' . $question['Post']['public_key'] . '/' . $question['Post']['url_title'] . '#user_answer', true);
and change it to
$this->__validatePost($this->data, '/questions/' . $question['Post']['public_key'] . '/' . $question['Post']['url_title'] . '#user_answer', false);

What I said previously only makes the captcha's visible element disappear, but it left the post controller intact so it still checked for the captcha resulting in an inevitable error. Sorry for any confusion.

Beyra,

In the next commit the captcha will be disabled by default and moved into the application settings that you will be able to update via the admin panel.

If you have any other suggestions please let me know!

Thank you.

Thanks Breya and Datawalke.

Looking forward to the next commit!

I'll +1 on this request. I have just installed Coordino today, and it is still enforcing captcha. Sadly the next commit has not happened yet.

It will be great to see this change. Thanks very much for the great app!

+1 here as well.
Actually I have disabled it by default on the "titledk" fork for my own version, if you're interested. It's not very clean though, and was more though of as a fast fix.

+1 here for the Captcha removal too for unregistered users, thanks

[Datawalke]

You guys got it!

It will go into the next build along with the removal of short tags.
