Anti-Spam Options - 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 may 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.

vb3 version is here: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=315964

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

Great mod, works after the tip above from Laredo. Thank you, it saved my forum because I am NOT going to upgrade from VB4 to VB5 or whatever it is at now.

I notice that recaptcha v3 is out, can this be updated to support that?

FYI, I have made a v3 integration here.

Nice, I noticed that. However I noticed no mention of applying to registration. Good ideas on where else to implement it though.

Sorry for what is probably a really dumb question, but it's a long time since I installed an add-on in VB4.x and my almost 60yo brain has forgotten how to do it.

Where do I upload the file to? I don't have an "upload" folder on my server :erm:

PS. Oh I see, it just goes into Includes
PPS. Installed and working. Many thanks!!

If it helps anyone, I rewrote the instructions:

- Download to desktop: kh99_new_recaptcha_v1_0.zip > extract all files
- Open FTP software and upload kh99_new_recaptcha_v1_0\upload\includes\class_huma nverify_new_recaptcha.php to myforum.com/includes
- myforum.com/ > admin control panel > Plugins & Products > Manage Products > at the bottom of the page [Add/Import Product] > Import Product > Choose file > product-kh99_new_recaptcha_v1_0 > click Import
- myforum.com/ > admin control panel > Settings > Human Verification Manager > choose 'New reCAPTCHA' > Save
- On the same page, at the bottom, enter the Site Key and Secret Key
- Test by using a private browsing session

Note: Be sure to use reCAPTCHA type v2 ("I'm not a robot" Checkbox) site keys, not reCAPTCHA type v3.

Does that mean that the inbuilt reCAPTCHA doesn't support reCAPTCHA V2 keys?

That's correct. You need this add-on to use V2. And you can't use V3 at all.

hello I installed the plug-in does not seem to be a problem when I test, but when you enter the member panel gives 500 error
