This plugin adds helpers for the {reCAPTCHA API}[http://recaptcha.net]. In your views you can use
the +recaptcha_tags+ method to embed the needed javascript, and you can validate in your controllers
with +verify_recaptcha+.

You'll want to add your public and private API keys in the environment variables RECAPTCHA_PUBLIC_KEY
and RECAPTCHA_PRIVATE_KEY, respectively. You could also specify them in config/environment.rb if you
are so inclined. Exceptions will be raised if you call these methods and the keys can't be found.
You'll want to add your public and private API keys in the environment variables +RECAPTCHA_PUBLIC_KEY+
and +RECAPTCHA_PRIVATE_KEY+, respectively. You could also specify them in <tt>config/environment.rb</tt> if you
are so inclined (see below). Exceptions will be raised if you call these methods and the keys can't be found.

== Rails Installation

ReCaptcha for rails can be installed as a gem:
reCAPTCHA for Rails can be installed as a gem:

config.gem "ambethia-recaptcha", :lib => "recaptcha/rails", :source => "http://gems.github.com"

Or, as a standard rails plugin:

script/plugin install git://github.com/ambethia/recaptcha.git

== Setting up your API Keys

There are two ways to setup your reCAPTCHA API keys once you {obtain}[http://recaptcha.net/whyrecaptcha.html]
a pair. You can pass in your keys as options at runtime, for example:

recaptcha_tags :public_key => '6Lc6BAAAAAAAAChqRbQZcn_yyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy'

and later,

verify_recaptcha :private_key => '6Lc6BAAAAAAAAKN3DRm6VA_xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx'


Or, preferably, you can keep your keys out of your code base by exporting the environment variables
mentioned earlier. You might do this in the .profile/rc, or equivalent for the user running your
application:

export RECAPTCHA_PUBLIC_KEY = '6Lc6BAAAAAAAAChqRbQZcn_yyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy'
export RECAPTCHA_PRIVATE_KEY = '6Lc6BAAAAAAAAKN3DRm6VA_xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx'

If that's not your thing, and dropping things into <tt>config/environment.rb</tt> is, you can just do:

ENV['RECAPTCHA_PUBLIC_KEY'] = '6Lc6BAAAAAAAAChqRbQZcn_yyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy'
ENV['RECAPTCHA_PRIVATE_KEY'] = '6Lc6BAAAAAAAAKN3DRm6VA_xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx'

== +recaptcha_tags+

Some of the options available:

<tt>:ssl</tt>:: Uses secure http for captcha widget (default +false+)
<tt>:noscript</tt>:: Include <noscript> content (default +true+)
<tt>:display</tt>:: Takes a hash containing the +theme+ and +tabindex+ options per the API. (default +nil+)
<tt>:public_key</tt>:: Your public API key, takes precedence over the ENV variable (default +nil+).
<tt>:error</tt>:: Override the error in +flash[:recaptcha_error]+ (default +nil+).
<tt>:ajax</tt>:: Render the dynamic AJAX captcha per the API. (default +false+)
<tt>:public_key</tt>:: Your public API key, takes precedence over the ENV variable (default +nil+)
<tt>:error</tt>:: Override the error code returned from the reCAPTCHA API (default +nil+)

You can also override the html attributes for the sizes of the generated +textarea+ and +iframe+
elements, if CSS isn't your thing. Inspect the source of +recaptcha_tags+ to see these options.

== +verify_recaptcha+

This method returns +true+ or +false+ after processing the parameters from the ReCAPTCHA widget. Why
This method returns +true+ or +false+ after processing the parameters from the reCAPTCHA widget. Why
isn't this a model validation? Because that violates MVC. Use can use it like this, or how ever you
like. Passing in the ActiveRecord object is optional, if you do--and the captcha fails to verify--an
error will be added to the object for you to use.

Some of the options available:

<tt>:model</tt>:: Model to set errors
<tt>:message</tt>:: Custom error message
<tt>:model</tt>:: Model to set errors
<tt>:message</tt>:: Custom error message
<tt>:private_key</tt>:: Your private API key, takes precedence over the ENV variable (default +nil+).
<tt>:timeout</tt>:: The number of seconds to wait for reCAPTCHA servers before give up. (default +3+)

== TODO
* Remove Rails/ActionController dependencies
* Framework agnostic
