How to remove captcha from product review ?

Simple question (hopefully)..

..Theres a lot of posts about adding captcha to certain forms, but actually would like to remove the captcha verfication from the product review section. Does anyone know which files need to be edited to do this?

you would have to edit the product.tpl and controller I believe, but why in the world would you want to remove it? Do you just like spam on your sites?

mmm, I know.. and if spam becomes a big issue then I'll have to rethink.. Its just I like to think that not every single form on the internet needs to have captcha.. wishful thinking I suppose. Maybe if the captcha wasn't so ugly..

I have to say I agree with Xsecrets that you shouldn't remove it, however it's pretty easy to remove
1. remove this code in /catalog/controller/product/product.php in the validate() method 2. in your template folder in product/product.tpl remove the following code That should do it

Thanks, that looks like it'll do it.

As I said before, I do admit its a bit of a gamble I guess taking the captcha off, but I want to make submitting a review as simple as possible. And obviously comments go to moderation first so spam wont appear on the site, just fill up the shop admins inbox.... But I must admit, I've created quite a few contact forms on various sites and never had to put a captcha on one before...

Anyway, I'll comment out all the fields just in case I need to make a hasty u-turn later on. Cheers for help though.

Cool no problem

1. remove this code in /catalog/controller/product/product.php in the validate() method

Code: Select all

        if (!isset($this->session->data['captcha']) || ($this->session->data['captcha'] !=
            $this->request->post['captcha'])) {
            $this->error['message'] = $this->language->get('error_captcha');
        }

2. in your template folder in product/product.tpl remove the following code

Code: Select all

        &nbsp; <span><?php echo $entry_good; ?></span><br />
        <br />
        <b><?php echo $entry_captcha; ?></b><br />
        <input type="text" name="captcha" value="" autocomplete="off" />
<br />
<img src="index.php?route=product/product/captcha" id="captcha" />

That should do it

I followed the same procedure and got this error:


Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '_name' (T_STRING), expecting variable (T_VARIABLE) or '$' in /home/qdepot55/public_html/vqmod/vqcache/vq2-catalog_view_theme_journal2_template_product_product.tpl on line 544

Now even i replaced the original files but the error still remains. Please suggest what should i do now?
