Using reCaptcha plugin in component

[Viper]

How to use this plugin in my own component?

Try this post: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/12840015/how-to-use-joomla-recaptcha-plugin-to-my-custom-module

Joomla com_content uses it so you can also look through the code for how they do it.

It's not working. Just blank <div>. But in requests I see 1 request to reCaptcha server. Looks like the <div> does't correctly processed by the plugin on onInit event.
Any suggestion?

Did you get a public/private key? There are some things you have to do if you are using localhost.

Yes. I have 2 keys. I'm not using localhost at all. Plugin in Joomla tuned up and published and in general settings allready selected.
So maybe I'm wrong. This is my small code:

view.html.php
class ComponentViewComponent extends JViewLegacy {
    public function display($tpl = null) {
... // some code

        JPluginHelper::importPlugin('captcha');
        $dispatcher = JDispatcher::getInstance();
        $dispatcher->trigger('onInit','dynamic_recaptcha_1');

        parent::display($tpl);
    }
}

template

<form id="comment-form">
    <textarea id="form-editor"></textarea>
    <div id="dynamic_recaptcha_1"></div>
    <br /><input type="submit" value="<?php echo JText::_('JSUBMIT'); ?>" />
</form>

This is response from reCaptcha server

var RecaptchaState = {'programming_error' : 'An internal error occurred: 4D8ACC1E05650.ADF4B06.6E59'};

Hi Viper,

I included reCaptcha in my simple component by setting up reCaptch in the usual contact form and then included the following code to bring it in.  Possibly not the "right" or maybe "best" way but it worked for me.

In your front-end model XML file include;

        <field
            name="captcha"
            type="captcha"
            label="COM_USERS_CAPTCHA_LABEL"
            description="COM_USERS_CAPTCHA_DESC"
            validate="captcha"
        />

And then in your default.php view place the following where you want reCaptcha to show up.

            <div class="control-group">
                <div class="control-label"><?php echo $this->form->getLabel('captcha'); ?></div>
                <div class="controls"><?php echo $this->form->getInput('captcha'); ?></div>
            </div>

I think this is all I did.....  Good luck.
