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

No this will not work in vB5, and i doubt you could make it work in vB5 at all.

When you say " it doesn't show up any Verification Options" what do you mean exactly, is the area at the bottom blank?

Did you select the "new recaptcha" radio button, and then press "Save"? The options won't show up until you press save (I think that detail was left out of the original instructions, and maybe the readme).

If you did, then I'm not sure what's wrong, but it definitely does work with vb4.2.2 patch level 1, because that's what I happened to have installed as a test forum when I created this mod.

Yep option were we enter api key block is missing whatever i do it doesn't show up.

But just for checking when i select reCAPTCHA i see API KEY Options good without any problem but not for NEW reCAPTCHA

I see you have a couple of other add-on hv types (funcaptcha and keycaptcha). Can you try disabling those products and see if it makes any difference?

Actually, the problem is FunCaptcha. It returns from one of the plugins, which stops other plugins from running. You can fix this either by disabling the funcaptcha product, or else you can go to the Plugin Manager, edit the "Show FunCaptcha options" plugin, and change the execution order to something higher than 5 (like 10 for example).

ETA: if you go with the second option above, I found that you have to change the execution order of both plugins. Also, I've sent Funcaptcha a PM about this problem, but I doubt it's important enough for them to do another release just to fix it.

Do either of you have any other forms of spam protection in place?

I'm using this mod, kh99 SS, bop5 RR, and the latest one you released back in September. This is all I am using on my new site and between all of them they have kept the bots from registering.
