reCAPTCHA v2 Human Verification
 

(Note: This mod was renamed. The original name was "New reCAPTCHA Human Verification")

What is it?
----------------------------
This mod adds reCAPTCHA v2 as an option in the Human Verification Manager.

Note: The original reCAPTCHA used default keys if you didn't enter your own, so you could leave the key fields blank. This version requires you to have your own keys for your domain. To create them, go to this page (click on the "Get reCAPTCHA" button). It can take a short time after creating the keys before they will work, so if you get "ERROR: Invalid domain for site key", wait a while and try again.

vb4 version is here: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=315960

Installation:
----------------------------
1) Upload the file in the "upload" folder to your server.

2) Import the product XML file from the Product Manager.

3) If you don't already have keys, go to this page and create keys for your domain. (If you already have keys you can get them from that page as well).

4) Go to Settings > Human Verification Manager, select "New reCAPTCHA" for the Verification Library, and click Save.

5) Enter your keys on the options page, and select the light or dark widget as desired (apparently white and black are the only options at this time). You could select "Audio" to default to audio instead of image for the challenge, but the widget seems to have a bug in it at the moment so I recommend leaving it set to "image". Click Save when you're done selecting options.

6) You can check the configuration and do a test by clicking on "Click here to test connection" which appears under the description in the Human Verification Manager.

7) Do a test registration (or other action that requires hv) to test that your keys are entered correctly and everything is working.

8) If you are upgrading from version 0.9, you can remove the file includes/class_humanverify_newrecaptcha.php (the one without the third underscore) from your server.

History:
----------------------------
1.0 (Feb 22, 2015)

• Cached template (required renaming the uploaded file from
  class_humanverify_newrecaptcha.php to class_humanverify_new_recaptcha.php)
• Removed default keys (which didn't work anyway)
• Removed trademark symbols
• Changed execution order of plugins from 5 to 4, to make sure this product
  works with another HV add-on that has a bug.
• If "New reCAPTCHA" is selected when this mod is uninstalled, the hv library
  is switched to 'disabled'.
• Added a test option to print out more information about verification failures

0.9 (Dec 11, 2014)

• Initial Release

Installed and working.

Thanks.

Excellent work. Thank you!

Great ! You really saved my time ... I wanted to code it myself and suddenly I noticed that its already done!

Again thank you :)

I've released version 1.0. There are no critical changes or fixes, so there is no need to rush to upgrade. Here is the change list:

- Cached template (required renaming the uploaded file from
class_humanverify_newrecaptcha.php to class_humanverify_new_recaptcha.php)
- Removed default keys (which didn't work anyway)
- Removed trademark symbols
- Changed execution order of plugins from 5 to 4, to make sure this product
works with another HV add-on that has a bug.
- If "New reCAPTCHA" is selected when this mod is uninstalled, the hv library
is switched to 'disabled'.
- Added a test option to print out more information about verification failures
Note that the uploaded file has been renamed (which was the best way to fix the template caching issue), so you can remove the old file after upgrading.

For those who couldn't get this to work, I've added a test in the admincp (link in the Human Verification Manager), so you could try that and hopefully it will help track down your issue (if you get an error, copy and paste the results and post them here).

Great work. Thank you a lot :)

it looks to be a great addon, however it is not working for me,
I am using 3.8.8 after following all steps and provided the site's and secret keys..
it is giving me a message:
Access denied.

when i click :
Click here to test connection

Also when i try to register, i keep getting the same message

any suggestion what is wrong please?

You know, I'm not even sure I tested the 'Click here to test connection' on vb3. I'll make sure.

It should say "Access Denied" if you don't have access to the settings, but then if you didn't you wouldn't be able to see the link either, so I guess that's not it.

You get "Access Denied" when you try to register? That I don't understand.

I tried the test link in vb3.8.8 and it works for me, but I did realize something I didn't think of: vb4 now requires curl and the fsockopen alternative has been removed. But that's not true in vb3, but my test requires it and will report an error if you don't have it. So the test link might tell you that you need curl when this mod would work without it.

But I don't think that's your problem. What version of php are you using?

Same here "Acess Denied"
PHP version 5.4.34

Where do you see that message, exactly? In the admincp, or where the recaptcha should appear?

This message comes when someone try to register pressing Register

Sorry to ask again, but do you mean press "Register" like the button on the screen while the forum rules? Is it just a blank page with that message? What's the url when you see that?

Hi,

I'm using vBulletin 3.8.8 with PHP 5.3 and am not getting any of the above errors.

Its not showing up at the most important page: the login screen. What do I need to add to the template?

Sorry for the delay in replying. vbulletin doesn't have human verification for login by default. I have another mod that adds it for vb4, but I never did get around to making one for vb3. In the vb4 mod I had to disable the default login/password fields in the header because there wasn't anywhere to put the recaptcha widget. Also, it probably wouldn't be hard to add a few things to a template to get the recaptcha to show up, but unless you have a plugin to check the answer it won't help.

Works great for me on 3.8.7.

This is waht i was looking for. Thanks

I'm running vBulletin v3.8.9 Patch Level 1, and your mod doesn't show up under Human Verification Options at all. It's just the default settings there. Mod installated fine, no errors. Help?

does for me but it don't work in IE for some reason?

deleted

hello can i use it on vb 3.8.9 ?

ReCaptcha v2 we want :( not working!

[22-Aug-2017 19:51:34 UTC] PHP Fatal error: Call to undefined method vB_HumanVerify_Abstract::vB_HumanVerify_Abstract() in /home/xxx/public_html/vb/includes/class_humanverify_new_recaptcha.php on line 14
[22-Aug-2017 19:54:00 UTC] PHP Deprecated: Assigning the return value of new by reference is deprecated in /home/xxx/public_html/vb/global.php(400) : eval()'d code on line 347

Tested on php 5.6 and 7.0
I'm using vBulletin 3.8.11

dont work 3.8.11
HTTP ERROR 500

yep now work
change code:
https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost....&postcount=233

It is not in vB Setting - Human Verification Options. It's a bit confusing...but it is before that
Go to Admin Control Panel then click the arrow and expand vBulletin Options and look for Human Verification Manager

Running VB 3.8.11 and after making the change talked about in post 26, copied here from the VB 4.x version of this mod, working fine:

Note- Line 14 to be edited is in the file to be uploaded /includes/class_humanverify_new_recaptcha.php.

I'm a little confused. I know Recaptcha 1 is going away, so updating to version 2 is required now if you want to use Recaptcha at all.

I'm running vB 4.2.5, php 7.1.

I see there is a vB 4 version of this mod. What exactly do I need to alter in the upload files of the vB 4 version to get Recaptcha 2 to work? Are you saying that all I need to do is edit the /includes/class_humanverify_new_recaptcha.php file as annotated and then install the version 4 mod?

First for the 4.x version of this mod we should be tasking in the 4.x thread: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=315960

But no. making that edit is not the only thing you have to do. You have to follow the instructions to install the full add-on first. Then you need to edit that file so the add-on works properly.

Each add-on usually has instructions for installation either in the first post or the zip file or both.

But generally it's the same VB 3.x or VB 4.x... Download the correct version of the mod, upload any files you need to upload, then go to Admin CP -> Plugins & Products -> Product Manager, choose Upload New Product, select the product xml file from the download, click Import.

At this point you should make the file edit.

Then follow the rest of the instructions to edit the settings and get a key from Google.

Finally, be sure you test it yourself to make sure it works.

I hear you. I found this discussion first and several folks were discussing vB4 version in this thread. I know how to install a mod :) Sorry - found the references to different lines that required editing in both mod threads (both lines 8 and 14 were referenced) confusing. I decided not to bother with updating Recaptcha at all and am just going with a couple of quiz questions.

Gotha,

I didn't need to make any edits to line 8 but I'm still using PHP 5.6.x. Can't be sure it isn't different on PHP7.

Worked fine with vB 3.8.4

I've repackaged this add-on into a 1.0.1 version, which you can download below. The main change is incorporating the required PHP fix. So, this will work properly with vBulletin 3.8.11 and PHP 5.6/7.0/7.1. It should also work with earlier versions, though the minimum PHP version required is probably something like PHP 5.3.

I also updated all the UI elements to refer to the feature as "reCAPTCHA v2" instead of "New reCAPTCHA". I also updated the readme docs, correcting errors and typos.

Just deployed this update to my 3.8.11/PHP 5.6.31 site and it works as advertised. The previous 1.0 version survived config/test, but threw an error on the actual registration page.

Thanks for the module.

Maybe I messed something up here. Running vbulletin 3.8.7 patch level 6, I upload the file and imported the product xml with no issue but when I go to human verification I only see whats in the attached screenshot, assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Same here.

You're looking in the wrong place. reCAPTCHA v2 is found in "vBulletin Options > Human Verification Manager", not in "vBulletin Options > vBulletin Options > Human Verification Options"

Im looking in the right place, v2 is not there.

Just to be clear the screenshot posted in Post 36 is not the right place to look for it, so that is why it is confusing.

If it isn't showing up in the actual right place most likely the files were uploaded to the wrong directory.

File uploaded to includes folder. XML file installed. Looking in the right spot. No update to the verification options :(
