Recaptcha in endless loop - Not working, Urgent

panduro

Hi,
Recaptcha v2. has stopped working. When you click on the checkbox it's just loading endless without getting green checked.
You can try yourself at: https://master.brfhemsida.com/skapakonto
I have this installed on several sites and all have stopped working. I'm using Joomlart Uber template.

This is probably some change from Google, so I guess the plugin needs an update. This is very urgent, please help.

You can install FF explorer to manage files, I cannot giva a ftp login for this.

Hi @panduro

I have checked, and it seems that you have modified the template on your site. You also removed the default Joomla template to identify the origin of the issue.
Can we back up your site to our local environment for further investigation?

Hi,
I found the solution to this

Recaptcha started to work when I edited "./libraries/cms/html/behavior.php" and commented out line 63 to remove MooTools.

// Commented-out to make Google reCaptcha work again
// JHtml::_('script', 'system/mootools-' . $type . '.js', array('version' => 'auto', 'relative' => true, 'detectDebug' => $debug));

panduro It seems to be issue of Recaptcha V2 and Joomla 3 🙂

panduro

Yes, It's just Joomla 3. Works fine with Joomla 4.

I now discovered that disabling Mootools removes the tabs when you edit a page or publish an article.
Can you see if you can find a solution for Mootools?

This should be a issue for all installations with the Uber template and Joomla 3

panduro Mootools is required in Joomla 3, do you plan to upgrade to Joomla 4? Uber is available for Joomla 4 already and will support Joomla 5 as well.

panduro

Thanks!
I know it works for Joomla 4, it just complicated to upgrade since some components and plugins doesn't work with Joomla 4.
Also I'm running multisite.

panduro I understand but it seems that there is issue between recaptcha v2 and Joomla 3 for now.

saguaros The solution to this problem is to update two MooTools files as explained in the following post:

https://stackoverflow.com/questions/77473778/google-recaptcha-keeps-on-loading

The two files can be found here:
1) https://mootools.net/core
2) https://mootools.net/more

Both of them need to be uploaded to the following location:
/media/system/js/

Both files also needs to be renamed.

cemsdb Thanks for sharing!

That solution will remove Mootools which may affect extensions that also use this Mootools. So we highly recommend to migrate site to J4/J5 🙂
