Rails 3 / Recaptcha installation - Undefined local variable or method `recaptcha_tags'
recaptcha, ruby-on-rails
Solution
i tried to reproduce your error, but after walking through the Readme everything worked fine.
Did you restart the server?
The steps i made:
- generate api keys
- created config/initializers/recaptcha.rb with your code and my keys
- changed my form with <%= recaptcha_tags %>
- restart the server, to the initializers are being loaded
that's it... perhaps just try one more time.
Problem
I am getting the following error when I try installing Recaptcha on my Rails 3 app. I have placed the recaptcha tag in my _form file (see attached below). ``` Showing /Users/fkhalid2008/loand/app/views/posts/_form.html.erb where line #20 raised: undefined local variable or method `recaptcha_tags' for #<# <Class:0x12d4e1870>:0x12d4dac78> Extracted source (around line #20): 17: <div class="actions"> 18: <%= f.submit %> 19: </div> 20: <%= recaptcha_tags %> 21: <% end %> ``` Could you please advise? _FORM.HTML.ERB FILE ``` <%= form_for(@post) do |f| %> <% if @post.errors.any? %> <div id="error_explanation"> <h2><%= pluralize(@post.errors.count, "error") %> prohibited this post from being saved:</h2> <ul> <% @post.errors.full_messages.each do |msg| %> <li><%= msg %></li> <% end %> </ul> </div> <% end %> <div class="field"> I am a <%= f.text_field :title %> getting married in <%= f.text_field :job %> in <%= f.text_field :location %>, and looking for a wedding photographer.
