Bug K 4.0.3: How to enable reCAPTCHA v2 with Crypsis and Blue Eagle

It's to keep comaptibility with templates based on blue eagle, the template maker need to update their templates to follow the same way that crypsis.

I'm sorry but that sentence does not make any sense. I have asked, several times, for someone to explain why Kunena has not followed Joomla in every other respect except for this.

If it was easy enough to adapt the Kunena Discuss plugin to use Joomla, if it was easy enough to adapt Crypsis to use Joomla, why is it impossible to adapt Blue Eagle to follow in the same manner?

As I wrote earlier, this is a "tale of two Kunenas": one "Kunena" for the developers (it seems) and the poorer version of Kunena for the rest of the community. I'm sorry to express it in these terms but, quite simply, I don't think there's been a satisfactory explanation as to why it's not possible to allow Blue Eagle to use the Joomla Captcha - ReCaptcha plugin when every other part of K 4.0 can use this plugin.

Hi @Xillibit, just returned from holiday and saw that new version of Discuss plugin is released. Does this release use the new recaptcha (2.0)? There is no changelog

Yes this new version of discuss plugin use the joomla plugin, so you can use recapthca 2.0

works like a charm Thanks for adding this improvement!

Blue eagle: Used the settings from kunena config
Crypsis: Used the default recaptcha joomla plugin


There will be no new features added to Blue Eagle anymore. Only small bugfixes.

You edited my original post. Please do not edit other people's messages on this forum without adding an explanation for why you've made the change; I think this is just a common courtesy that the community is entitled to.

This topic is not "solved". As far as I am concerned, there is an unwillingness by the development team to address the core issue — the inability to use reCAPTCHA v 2.0 within the Kunena 4.0 (Blue Eagle variant) forum component. I think it's a bit odd that the developers are adding new features to K 4.0 (e.g. a colour palette picker, autosubscriptions, new menu items/views, etc.) but they are not prepared to address the inconsistent behaviour within the existing feature set.

The topic was partly hijacked from the original subject when it went off to talk about the Kunena Discuss component.

Yes, it's nice to know that the developers were prepared to "add" the new reCAPTCHA v 2.0 "feature" to Kunena Discuss 3.1; it is not as welcome to know that they are incapable of doing similarly within the K 4.0 core component as well.

Until someone is prepared to invest the time to examine how (and why) reCAPTCHA v 2.0 can be implemented with K 4.0 Blue Eagle, please do not change the status of this topic to "solved".
