Hi,

has anybody implemented reCAPTCHA for Satchmo user registration? I am trying it with django-recaptcha:

https://github.com/praekelt/django-recaptcha

I would only need it for the url

url(r'^accounts/register/$', 'register', {'SSL': ssl}, name='registration_register')

but as I see it, satchmo_store.accounts.views.register() does not take a {"backend": captcha.backends.default.CaptchaDefaultBackend'} kwargs parameter. This is implemented in django-registration v0.8 register(), and the examples in django-recaptcha build upon that. I wonder if this is the right track anyways...

Any hints appreciated!

Ben, did you ever get this figured out? I'm looking at the same issue now.

Actually, to take this one step further, I'm considering doing this using django-simple-captcha. Here's what I'm thinking it will take, someone please let me know if this is too invasive.

In one of my own installed apps, I'll:

Override /accounts/register/ in some urls.py, which will use as a view...
... my own version of satchmo_store.accounts.views.register, which will process the form with...
... my own version of satchmo_store.accounts.views.register_handle_form, which will use as a form...
... my own version of satchmo_store.forms.RegistrationForm, which will use CaptchaField from django-simple-captcha

That seems like a lot of code duplication just to get a CAPTCHA working. Would there be an easier way?

This ended up on my TODO list with lower priority ;-)

I'm not sure anymore if I really want to add some reCaptcha annoyance for potential customers, after they seem to become harder and harder to read. I stumbled across this one recently:

It really made me think about unobtrusive things such as a plain and simple honeypot again...

Hello Ben,

please check out our captcha: https://develissimo.com/accounts/register/ I did it just two days ago... and i think its quite easy to read.
I have removed "noise" features so it gets even clearer to read for users.
what do you think?

It was done with django-simple-captcha: https://github.com/mbi/django-simple-captcha

Kind regards,
Raphael
