This modification allows you to use reCAPTCHA instead of the built-in Visual Verification system. It supports the SMF 2.0 series.
Portions of the code use the PHP reCAPTCHA API.
This mod and other information can be found at: http://www.animeneko.net/projects/smf/
- Use reCAPTCHA on your forum in place of or in combination with the built-in verification options.
- Support for built-in reCAPTCHA themes
You can enable reCAPTCHA by going to:
Admin -> Configuration -> Security and Moderation -> Anti-Spam
A set of keys are required for operation of reCAPTCHA. A link is provided in the settings to register for a key pair.
If you are upgrading from a version older than 2.0, there is one major change to be aware of.
Starting with version 2.0, this modification no longer replaces the built-in image verification. It now operates independently of those settings. If you don't want the built-in image verification, make sure to set it to "None".
- The error messages are the built-in ones, so they will talk about letters not being filled in or matching.
