hCAPTCHA plugin for Craft CMS

Integrate hCAPTCHA validation into your forms.

Requirements

This plugin requires Craft CMS 3.4 or later.

Installation

To install the plugin, follow these instructions.

1. Open your terminal and go to your Craft project:

    cd /path/to/project
   

2. Then tell Composer to load the plugin:

    composer require c10d/craft-hcaptcha
   

3. In the Control Panel, go to Settings → Plugins and click the “Install” button for craft-hcaptcha.

Configuring craft-hcaptcha

1. Sign up for hCAPTCHA API key.
2. Open the Craft admin and go to Settings → Plugins → Craft hCAPTCHA → Settings.
3. Add your site key and secret key, then save.
4. Add the hCAPTCHA template tag and js to your forms.

Using craft-hcaptcha

In your template, just add the following twig snippet to render the hCAPTCHA iframe:

{{ craft.hcaptcha.render() }}

Or you can change the id of the container, and set some options:

{{ craft.hcaptcha.render('hcap', { 'theme': 'dark' }) }}

If you're using a modal or for any reason the hcaptcha div is not in the DOM when the page is loaded, you could set a trigger when the block becomes visible (the js file should be already loaded):

{{ craft.hcaptcha.render('hcaptcha-1', { 'size': 'compact' }) }}
<style onload="hcaptcha.render('hcaptcha-1');"></style>

You can even create the block yourself and only get the site key variable:

<div class="h-captcha" data-sitekey="{{ craft.hcaptcha.sitekey() }}"></div>
<script src="https://hcaptcha.com/1/api.js" async defer></script>

If you want to know what options are available, see the hCAPTCHA documentation.

NOTE: After this step is done, if you’re using the CraftCMS Contact Form plugin or you're using craft-hcaptcha to validate a public user registration, just activate the corresponding toggle in the plugin's settings, you're all set! (the hcaptcha will be automatically verified on submission)

Verify the hCAPTCHA

On the server side, you can use this to verify that the hCAPTCHA was done:

use c10d\crafthcaptcha\CraftHcaptcha;

// [ ... ]

$captcha = Craft::$app->getRequest()->getParam('h-captcha-response');
$isValid = CraftHcaptcha::$plugin->hcaptcha->verify($captcha);
if (!$isValid) {
    // ERROR: you can push an error here
}
