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 can 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.

vb4 version is here: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=315960

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)

Again thank you

I've released version 1.0. There are no critical changes or fixes, so there is no need to rush to upgrade. Here is the change list:

- 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
Note that the uploaded file has been renamed (which was the best way to fix the template caching issue), so you can remove the old file after upgrading.

For those who couldn't get this to work, I've added a test in the admincp (link in the Human Verification Manager), so you could try that and hopefully it will help track down your issue (if you get an error, copy and paste the results and post them here).

You know, I'm not even sure I tested the 'Click here to test connection' on vb3. I'll make sure.

It should say "Access Denied" if you don't have access to the settings, but then if you didn't you wouldn't be able to see the link either, so I guess that's not it.

You get "Access Denied" when you try to register? That I don't understand.

I tried the test link in vb3.8.8 and it works for me, but I did realize something I didn't think of: vb4 now requires curl and the fsockopen alternative has been removed. But that's not true in vb3, but my test requires it and will report an error if you don't have it. So the test link might tell you that you need curl when this mod would work without it.

But I don't think that's your problem. What version of php are you using?

Same here "Acess Denied"
PHP version 5.4.34
