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)

I got the mail this morning too.

I thought this mod used v2 :-?

[IggyP]

its perhaps on the captcha acct side? i havent heard about any mails yet here but there may be one...

just thinking, i thought there was a place on the captcha side to set what key to use/per site designations etc....which i dont know offhand if this mod ignores or not...is it possible its set on captcha1 key on the captcha acct but still working as captcha2 due to the mod?

In my case, I had previously chosen v2 as my account type with google, but had selected v1 in my vB settings. Then last night, I installed this product, and now I have v2 selected and now the registration form has the "I'm not a robot" box instead of the old verification involving images with text to be typed into an input field.

The add-on version is version 1.

It uses reCaptcha v2. You need to have valid entries in:

New reCAPTCHA Site Key
Site key provided to you by reCAPTCHA.

New reCAPTCHA Secret Key
Secret key provided to you by reCAPTCHA.

In the Human Verification options it's listed only as "New reCAPTCHA".

You can test it using:

New reCAPTCHA Verification
New and improved version of reCAPTCHA

I am receiving this error when I Enable the V2 code:

Call to undefined method vB_HumanVerify_Abstract::vB_HumanVerify_Abstract() on line 14 in /home4/r6d6i9q5/public_html/forum/includes/class_humanverify_new_recaptcha.php
#0 /home4/r6d6i9q5/public_html/forum/includes/class_humanverify.php(61): vB_HumanVerify_New_Recaptcha->vB_HumanVerify_New_Recaptcha(Object(vB_Registry ))
#1 /home4/r6d6i9q5/public_html/forum/register.php(1244): vB_HumanVerify::fetch_library(Object(vB_Registry))
#2 {main}

Fatal User Error: Call to undefined method vB_HumanVerify_Abstract::vB_HumanVerify_Abstract() on line 14 in ..../includes/class_humanverify_new_recaptcha.php in ..../vb/vb.php on line 286

Anyone have any ideas? I am using the Image verification for the moment, but would like to get Recaptcha back.

Thanks in advance!

The connection test turns out positive...

Does this work on 4.2.5? Is this the best option for human verification and to stop spambots?

Yes, and if you're using PHP 7.x you'll need to apply the edit found in the last pages of this discussion.

Just had a message from a forum member who forgot his password. He said that

the forgot password and contact us links give this error message:

"Call to undefined method vB_HumanVerify_Abstract::vB_HumanVerify_Abstract() on line 14 in /home/psychlin/public_html/forum/includes/class_humanverify_new_recaptcha.php
#0 /path/to/forum/includes/class_humanverify.php(61): vB_HumanVerify_New_Recaptcha->vB_HumanVerify_New_Recaptcha(Object(vB_Registry))
#1 //path/to/forum/login.php(197): vB_HumanVerify::fetch_library(Object(vB_Registry))
#2 {main}"

Any suggestions? Testing the connection via the ACP checks out fine and I am using the correct reCaptcha V2 keys.

I just tested that out on my site, and it worked fine. Are you sure you made the correct PHP 7.x edit to line 14 of "includes/class_humanverify_new_recaptcha.php?"

[djbaxter]

Yes:

PHP Code:

    function vB_HumanVerify_New_Recaptcha(&$registry)
    {
//        parent::vB_HumanVerify_Abstract($registry);
        parent::__construct($registry);
    }
