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

That's it.

Woo hoo! I just installed the mod with my new upgrade to VB4.2.5 and had the white page of death. This fixed it. All seems to be working as it should now (so far).

(Marked as installed)

Just want to say, I installed this today on version 4.25

I had to do this change

okay with this new recapthca i getting a white screen help me please it all works i tested the connnection and it works fine just showing the white page

[Zelda-King]

Yeah just installed this on 4.2.5. The "test connection" works but if I try to register a new account I get:

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

The fix posted in post 286 sorted it.

[Chrismk]

Installed successfully into 4.2.5.
Had to apply fix in post 286.

Thank you for providing this - much appreciated!

I'm new to vBulletin so bear with me. This recaptcha v2 mod is the first one I've added to my 4.2.5 site. And it worked perfectly. Thank you to those responsible. I'm looking forward to more additions..
--------------
Yesterday: I installed the mod and proclaimed it worked! But I had not tested it yet. When the time came for the new user screen to come up, all I got was a blank white screen. I uninstalled the mod and was going to post a comment about it here, but...

Today: I saw Ifmefector's fix at post #286. I decided to try the fix by first changing the code in the file and then re-uploading the files. This time around the recaptcha worked. Thank you Ifmefector for your post.

It's be interesting to know how the Recaptcha V2 works. If the info was public then hackers would better know a way to get around it maybe?

Image verification could not be verified due to server issues. Please try again later.

What does it mean?

Except the fix above, do you have "curl" option on your server?
