Hi, this is Merlin. I'm part of the engineering team at Friendly Captcha.

First of all thanks for creating this plugin and making the integration of Friendly Captcha easier for Joomla users! We have customers who have been successfully using this plugin and have listed it on our official integrations page.

Recently we have received a report that this plugin doesn't work correctly together with Visforms. As far as we could tell Visforms doesn't want to support other Captcha providers than reCAPTCHA. Are you aware of this problem and maybe have an idea of how to get Friendly Captcha integrated into Visforms?

We are happy to assist with the development of the plugin in any way and would love to get in touch with you! If you need more detailed information feel free to also reach out to me by email: merlin@friendlycaptcha.com

Thank You in advance! Merlin

This plugin is based on Joomla's Captcha API. It works with any extension using the API. Meanwhile, Visforms uses custom code for captcha with hardcoded list of supported captchas (which as of version 5.0 is a single image-based captcha). One would have to write a custom plugin specifically for Visforms. Though it would be beneficial if at some point Visforms dropped their custom code and migrated to the API. This would both ease the maintenance and allow any existing captcha plugin to be used.
