I was trying to add a Captcha in footer newsletter form and it worked fine when customer is not logged in, but the Captcha is not showing when I login as a customer. Please help me to fix this.

Config file is as follows

<?xml version="1.0"?>

<config>

    <modules>

        <Vendor_Captcha>

            <version>0.1.0</version>

        </Vendor_Captcha>

    </modules>

    <default>

        <captcha>

            <frontend>

                <areas>

                    <newsletter_captcha>

                        <label>Newsletter form</label>

                    </newsletter_captcha>

                </areas>

            </frontend>

        </captcha>

    </default>

    <global>

        <models>

            <vendor_captcha>

                <class>Vendor_Captcha_Model</class>

            </vendor_captcha>

        </models>

        <events>

            <controller_action_predispatch_newsletter_subscriber_new>

                <observers>

                    <captcha>

                        <type>model</type>

                        <class>vendor_captcha/observer</class>

                        <method>checknewsletter</method>

                    </captcha>

                </observers>

            </controller_action_predispatch_newsletter_subscriber_new>

        </events>

    </global>

</config>

<?php echo $this->getChildHtml('form.additional.info'); ?>

observer is as follows

    <?php class Vendor_Captcha_Model_Observer extends Mage_Captcha_Model_Observer{

    public function checkNewsletter($observer)

    {

        $formId = 'newsletter_captcha';

        $captchaModel = Mage::helper('captcha')->getCaptcha($formId);

        if ($captchaModel->isRequired()) {

            $controller = $observer->getControllerAction();

            if (!$captchaModel->isCorrect($this->_getCaptchaString($controller->getRequest(), $formId))) {

                Mage::getSingleton('customer/session')->addError(Mage::helper('captcha')->__('Incorrect CAPTCHA.'));

                $controller->setFlag('', Mage_Core_Controller_Varien_Action::FLAG_NO_DISPATCH, true);

                $controller->getResponse()->setRedirect(Mage::getUrl(''));

            }

        }

        return $this;

    }

}

Please help me to solve this. Thanks.

In Magento front-end area captcha module depended to customer session if customer login then your not showing in any form.

If you need to captcha in newsletter form, then following code is replace in your observer file.

From:

<?php class Vendor_Captcha_Model_Observer extends Mage_Captcha_Model_Observer{

    public function checkNewsletter($observer)

    {

        $formId = 'newsletter_captcha';

        $captchaModel = Mage::helper('captcha')->getCaptcha($formId);

        if ($captchaModel->isRequired()) {

            $controller = $observer->getControllerAction();

            if (!$captchaModel->isCorrect($this->_getCaptchaString($controller->getRequest(), $formId))) {

                Mage::getSingleton('customer/session')->addError(Mage::helper('captcha')->__('Incorrect CAPTCHA.'));

                $controller->setFlag('', Mage_Core_Controller_Varien_Action::FLAG_NO_DISPATCH, true);

                $controller->getResponse()->setRedirect(Mage::getUrl(''));

            }

        }

        return $this;

    }

}

To:

<?php class Vendor_Captcha_Model_Observer extends Mage_Captcha_Model_Observer{

    public function checkNewsletter($observer)

    {

        $formId = 'newsletter_captcha';

        $captchaModel = Mage::helper('captcha')->getCaptcha($formId);

       // if ($captchaModel->isRequired()) {

        $controller = $observer->getControllerAction();

        if (!$captchaModel->isCorrect($this->_getCaptchaString($controller->getRequest(), $formId))) {

            Mage::getSingleton('customer/session')->addError(Mage::helper('captcha')->__('Incorrect CAPTCHA.'));

            $controller->setFlag('', Mage_Core_Controller_Varien_Action::FLAG_NO_DISPATCH, true);

            $controller->getResponse()->setRedirect(Mage::getUrl(''));

        }

        //}

        return $this;

    }

}
