Roeland, You Rock!! If this works, I'll be able to brag it up all over the place.. It looks easy enough, and he says it's easy. But I'm not sure I'll be able to figure out where to put the code. He offers the code, but doesn't seem to really explain which file it goes to. Buuut, I'm gonna give it a shot, even though I'm not much of a code monkey... Thanks again.. . jg

Ok, thanks for the advice.. Good to know it's not just me... Have you got a suggestion to keep spammers out? It's not been a big problem, but I get about 1 user a day that's obviously a spammer. I don't have to use reCaptcha if there is a better solution... I'm all ears!! (:

Hi, in essence it is possible to put a captcha in, but it requires pretty extensive customizations to the virtuemart core code. Most of the available captcha solutions for VM do only work half or not at all. I have done some quite extensive work on it, the main problem is that virtuemart its own form validation is to say the least a bit buggy. Adding a captcha to that will only make it worse. Recaptcha will probably not work for you because it uses javascript that does not play well with other javascript libraries. It took me several weeks to get it to work the way I wanted; adding recaptcha and ajax form validation to virtuemart; and to be honest, it is still not completely done :oops: I wouldn't recommend one, because I know you'll run into a lot of trouble. To make it work in all browsers is another painful experience.

You must use a captcha that supports virtuemart! A quick search on the JED spit out this one: http://extensions.joomla.org/extensions/access-a-security/site-security/captcha/4887?qh=YTozOntpOjA7czoxMDoidmlydHVlbWFydCI7aToxO3M6NzoiY2FwdGNoYSI7aToyO3M6ODoiY2FwdGNoYXMiO30%3D I tested locally plg_joo_recaptcha_v1.5.1 for the normal registration/contact-layouts with a few tweaks without a problem (but not with virtuemart). But I'll try to catch my friend Roeland. I know he is pretty experienced with virtuemart. So perhaps he can recommend one for vm ...

Ok, currently, I have AlphaRegistration installed. I have the configuration set right, as best as I can tell. I have the reCaptcha keys entered. I really don't what else I can do to make this work. As I said all of the plugins I install have this same problem, nothing shows up. I don't know if you can even say this is working, "more-or-less", as it doesn't even show up. Here's the link to where I figure it should show up. http://www.myhavcom.com/store-front/register http://www.alphaplug.com ---This is the plug

If you have one installed that is working more or less you can give me a link and I will look at it. Some members found a way ... http://www.rockettheme.com/forum/index.php?f=383&t=112543&p=569705&rb_v=viewtopic#p569705 All captchas are different. I need to see it to get it right ... It just wont work out of the box as long as you don't exclude the form you are using from the input-styling in the template-settings

Search the JED or contact the developer.

Jem, I notice that that extension uses a JQuery validation. Would that clash with the mootools used by the RT template?
