Introduction
============

quintagroup.z3cform.captcha is a package that allows to add captcha to the z3c.form.
As a result such forms are prevented from automatic submit.

Captchas in a z3c form
----------------------

Using quintagroup.z3cform.captcha in a z3c.form form is simple.
Just add a Captcha field to your schema, use CaptchaWidgetFactory
widget factory for this field and away you go:

  >>> from zope.interface import Interface
  >>> from z3c.form import form, field
  >>> from quintagroup.z3cform.captcha import Captcha
  >>> from quintagroup.z3cform.captcha import CaptchaWidgetFactory

Now define form schema with Captch field 

  >>> class ICaptchaSchema(Interface):
  ...     captcha = Captcha(
  ...         title=_(u'Type the code'),
  ...         description=_(u'Type the code from the picture shown below.'))

And set proper widget factory for the captcha field

  >>>  class CaptchaForm(form.Form):
  ...      fields = field.Fields(ICaptchaSchema)
  ...      fields['captcha'].widgetFactory = CaptchaWidgetFactory


and z3c.form will take care of the rest. The widget associated with this field 
will render the captcha and verify the use input automatically.

quintagroup.z3cform.captcha was tested with Plone 3.0.6, 3.1.7, 3.2.3, 3.3.4.
