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:
----------------------------

  class_humanverify_newrecaptcha.php to class_humanverify_new_recaptcha.php)

  is switched to 'disabled'.

Are you sure you posted this in the right mod thread? This one doesn't do anything to user groups.

We are running 4.2.2 patch level 4. I had previously set up recaptcha and decided to upgrade to the v2. The recaptcha portion of this works, but when the user follows the email activation link and then tries to log in, you have been banned message appears.

I tested with a bogus registration. After I followed the link, I did not try to log in (logged into admincp with my admin account in another browser). I did a search for my bogus user, and found that the Usergroup was set to banned. I changed this to registered, then returned to the other browser window and logged in with no problem as the bogus user.

The old recaptcha set the initial usergroup to Administrators without granting any admin permissions.

It has to be something that needs to be changed in the admincp?

I disabled plugins, and the ban disappeared, so I am guessing there is a conflict with one of my plugins.

Thanks for a great mod !

Is it possible to update the mod to include the reCAPTCHA on the contact us form as well ?

I get spam via the contact us form on my forum...

Thanks

Hi kh99,

This mod didn't work on vBulletin 4.2.5 alpha 2 + PHP7

can you update your codes/ mod?

This mod is really useful for vbulletin 4.x.x

Thanks
Matt

Not working with 4.2.4 Beta 2

EDIT: Figured it out. I have vbsocial 10 installed, which is a topbar that follows the page and includes links and what not. It has a login dropdown with a forgot your password option that uses human verification. More than 1 human verification on a page only loads the human verification for whichever requests it first.

The product ID is longer than 15 characters, so the templates do not stay associated with this product. This can cause issues when upgrading or uninstalling the product (such as the template not being uninstalled).

I'm stuck.

Have the error "- cURL must be enabled, and any curl_ functions must be removed from disable_functions in php.ini" but cURL is installed. Ubuntu. ngnix + php-fpm.

Suggestions on how to troubleshoot?

Hi was anyone able to add this to your contact us form?

You don't need to "add" this product to your contact form. If you turn on human verification for "Contact Us" in the Human Verification Options in the AdminCP under Settings / Options / Human Verification Options it works just fine.
