Installing recaptcha addon without access to community

Permalink
Hi,
Ive inherited a concrete5 site which is fine but we are getting buckets of spam as I understand the inbuilt captcha isn't much use. I have downloaded Googles recaptcha and am trying to install it. Can anyone help me get this working please or point me in the right direction for adding the code manually?
Thanks

You'll have to use reCaptcha.

Should work (with concrete5 5.7 and higher)

Hi,
Thanks for this, I was planning on using this the only issue is I am unable to add it to my site. For some reason the community link is broken on the site (it wont let me log in) and if I try to install it manually by putting it in the packages folder if I browse t the dashboard its not there to add - any suggestions?

Thank you so much.

Unlink from the community and try again? Or if you manually uploaded, does the /packages directory has the appriopiate (read) rights?

To unlink - is that task achieved from the sql server? The permissions on the packages folder are - 0755 Im not sure how to test from the user logging in via the web interface?

Thanks again :)

Maybe these links help:

https://legacy-documentation.concrete5.org/tutorials/reconnect-to-th...

0755 permissions should be great! So not sure what's happening here.

Thanks again for the quick response, just so I am clear. If I clear the token within the SQL DB and then try to re-connect the Concrete5 site can I connect it to another Concrete5 account i.e one which I have created myself (but doesn't have a site page or anything) using completely different credentials to which the site would have been made originally.

Will there be any adverse effects?

Thanks

Don't release if you have a shitload of add-ons attached to it. I must say I haven't released projects myself... so I'd have to let you be adviced by someone else on that. Not sure what the consequences are so not want to let stuff be gone on your end :)

Apologies Im confused by the "don't release...." The site I am referring to is just a website nothing less. Why does the portal link have an impact on the site?

Hi,
I managed to get this working it turns out you can remove the links to the community from the SQL DB and then pair the site with a new account and it wont have any issues.
Thanks for your help on this.
