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

Sorry, I'm not sure what to tell you except that I'll try to get to it. I was kind of hoping that someone else would figure it out and post the template. I think we really just need to create a humanverify_new_recaptcha template in the mobile style, and probably start by copying the existing humanverify_recaptcha. I guess the code to display the recaptcha widget is different, but I don't think it's that complicated.

Working good on 4.2.2 thanks for such a nice addon.

I got a email from google today saying they have upgraded to reCAPTCHA v2
Is this mod still going to work with their latest upgrade?

As far as I know this *is* what they're calling reCAPTCHA v2. But if I find out that something's changed I'll try to update the mod.

Edit: It does look like they've added a "normal/compact" option since this mod was released, so maybe tomorrow I'll try to add that and also include a template for the mobile style.

I also got that message and for the life of me I don't see an option to upgrade the API.

I tried deleting the old key but that deleted the domain too. I re-added the domain and got new keys but when I try to test it I get "invalid key for domain".

[kh99]

I haven't seen that email so I don't know exactly what it's saying. Is it possible that it's saying that the old version no longer works? In that case this mod should be the update you need to keep using reCAPTCHA.

Oh, but it sounds like you're saying this mod stopped working for you?

No. I just installed it. See attached screenshot of email from Google...

I got two new API keys but they are not being recognized on either the old Recaptcha nor the new one.

Added: It's causing problems for WordPress too. See https://wordpress.org/support/topic/...key?replies=34

Oh, OK, I get it.

Yeah, that email's just saying that they're eventually going to discontinue the old version so you should update. This mod interfaces with the new version so if you're using it you should be OK. (Obviously you knew that, but just so everyone else knows).

Thanks for the copy.

Edit: oh, and I'm afraid I don't know what's going on with the keys. Maybe they're having some delay in activating them or something.

[djbaxter]

OK. That's a possibility.

I had to fall back to image verification on the forum I changed. I'll try again later.
