Hey there,
I haven't seen this question asked yet, but it's an important one for our client:
Is it possible to show the recaptcha form for nonmembers, and disable it for members? We want to simplify things for our members while still reducing spam.
Thanks for your help,
Phillip
Hi, Phillip,
If you mean only show the recaptcha field when users aren't logged in, take a look at this forum topic which explains how to conditionally show fields based on whether users are logged in or not - http://www.gravityhelp.com/forums/topic/conditional-fields-for-registered-user#post-22859
Let me know if you have questions.
Thanks for the response Dana,
Would that approach work with reCaptcha? It seems like it hides a field but still creates it. Wouldn't that cause the reCaptcha to fail on form submission?
Another concern for me was AJAX submission. I want to enable when possible, but I've read it doesn't play well with reCaptcha. I want to enable AJAX for members to streamline their experience.
I've implemented something of a brute-force workaround. I duplicated the form and tailored it for members (hidden name/email fields) and visitors (added reCaptcha), and choose which to call based on the user login status. This also allows me to specify AJAX for members.
I appreciate the information - the post you referenced was very interesting!
Regards,
Phillip
If you conditionally hide the reCaptcha field it does not cause the form to fail upon submission; this also applies to using Really Simple Captcha. I tested it to be certain.
The reCaptcha field cannot be used with AJAX enabled on the form. See this documentation for more info (http://www.gravityhelp.com/documentation/page/CAPTCHA).
It sounds like your solution is working for you, so that is great! That is the magic of Gravity Forms, you can make it do so much. :)
