Integration in TYPO3

Use our official extension for TYPO3 to automatically integrate POWER CAPTCHA into your website. The extension is compatible with TYPO3 version 11.5 LTS and 12.4 LTS.

Our extension provides a POWER CAPTCHA field for ext:form and ext:powermail, which you can easily add to your form.

In the following we describe how you can install, activate and configure our TYPO3 extension.

Installation via Composer​

The module is installed via the Composer command line program.

  1. Open an SSH connection to the server on which your TYPO3 installation is hosted.
  2. Navigate to the main directory of TYPO3. There, you will find the file composer.json.
  3. Execute the following command to install the extension: 
    composer require power-captcha/integration-typo3

Composer downloads and installs the extension automatically.

Configuration​

  1. Log in to your TYPO3 backend to configure POWER CAPTCHA.
  2. Navigate to Page management → Websites, select your website and click on Edit site configuration (pencil icon)
  3. Switch to the POWER CAPTCHA tab and enter your API key and secret key in the corresponding fields.
  4. Under Check mode you can then customize POWER CAPTCHA to your wishes if you do not want to start with the default settings.

  1. The settings Endpoint base URL and JavaScript base URL are only relevant if you have an Enterprise license and do not use the application as a cloud solution (default), but instead operate a local POWER CAPTCHA instance.

    Note

    If you are not using your own instance, the settings Endpoint base URL and JavaScript base URL must be empty.

  2. Once all settings have been adjusted, click on Save.

Add POWER CAPTCHA field​

To protect your TYPO3 form with POWER CAPTCHA, integrate the POWER CAPTCHA field into the desired form. We recommend to place the field before the submit button. Afterwards your form is protected.
