I've installed the ruby-recaptcha gem as instructed here:
http://bitbucket.org/mml/ruby-recaptcha/wiki/Home
Here are the steps that I've comleted:
1. installed the gem 2. added config.gem 'ruby-recaptcha' environment.rb: 4. modified action_controller.rb
class ApplicationController < ActionController::Base include ReCaptcha::AppHelper
5. modified application_helper.rb like so:
module ApplicationHelper include ReCaptcha::ViewHelper
The inclusion of the Recaptcha::ViewHelper works. Meaning this tag:
<%= get_captcha(:options => {:theme => 'clean'}) %>
Renders an image.
However, the controllers are another can of worms:
calls like:
if validate_recap(params, @user.errors) && @user.save
fail with the following message:
NoMethodError (undefined method `validate_recap' for #<ActionView::Base:0x734b578>):
Which tells me that the module is not being mixed into application controller and not then not inherited.
Does anybody have any ideas? Is ruby-recaptcha a reputable product?
