There is an error in the installation instruction:
IF YOU USE THE *ADVANCED* CUSTOMER REVIEWS MODULE...
17) In skin/common_files/modules/Advanced_Customer_Reviews/customer_add_review.tpl
BEFORE...
{include file="customer/buttons/submit.tpl" type="input" assign="submit_button"}
INSERT...
{* reCAPTCHA -
www.xcartmods.co.uk *}
{if $active_modules.reCAPTCHA && $config.reCAPTCHA.reCAPTCHA_enabled eq "Y" && $config.reCAPTCHA.reCAPTCHA_site_key && $config.reCAPTCHA.reCAPTCHA_secret_key && $config.reCAPTCHA.reCAPTCHA_enabled_review eq "Y"
<tr>
<td colspan="2"> </td>
<td>{include file="modules/reCAPTCHA/reCAPTCHA.tpl" align="left"}</td>
</tr>
{/if}
{* /reCAPTCHA *}
There is a } missing behind the eq "Yes" and the <tr> Tag!
If you run the Template sytntax this produce an error in the customer_add_review_t.tpl template
pointing at line 85 "<td colspan="2"> </td>" - Unexpected "<"
Here is the corrected version:
{* reCAPTCHA -
www.xcartmods.co.uk *}
{if $active_modules.reCAPTCHA && $config.reCAPTCHA.reCAPTCHA_enabled eq "Y" && $config.reCAPTCHA.reCAPTCHA_site_key && $config.reCAPTCHA.reCAPTCHA_secret_key && $config.reCAPTCHA.reCAPTCHA_enabled_review eq "Y"}
<tr>
<td colspan="2"> </td>
<td>{include file="modules/reCAPTCHA/reCAPTCHA.tpl" align="left"}</td>
</tr>
{/if}
{* /reCAPTCHA *}
This will produce the right customer_add_review_t.tpl file version.
