CAPTCHA Improvements

• Q&A Challenge

Original issue on 1.8 private repo: https://github.com/mybb/MyBB18/issues/21
What needs to be done: check if it's been finished or not.

To quote:

Clean up the reCAPTCHA integration; should we use reCAPTCHA by default and only use the MyBB default CAPTCHA if reC isn't available?

Should we introduce a Q&A challenge too? I'd quite like to see that.

[Starpaul20]

I'd love a Q&A challenge, as long as it's kept separate of CAPTCHA (I'd like to have both a CAPTCHA and a Q&A challenge).

[DiogoParrinha]

I'm moving this to Beta 2.

[Sama34]

Are we aiming to integrate Registration Security Question? I think this could be interesting.

[JordanMussi]

We should also allow the admin to have multiple at the same time. e.g. reCAPTCHA and Are You A Human. Thus instead of a drop down selection we should use a checkbox list.

[DiogoParrinha]

@JordanMussi I'm against it. It involves too much work and I personally don't see that as a need. There are many other enhancements where we already have to put quite some work into.

[WildcardSearch]

I agree. That would be a complex addition fraught with the possibility of future conflicts.

[JordanMussi]

Fair enough... It can be a new feature for 1.10 😉

[Sama34]

1.10?

[JordanMussi]

It's a joke, we will clearly be evil and announce 1.10 and delay 2.0 again 😉
1.10 will be the bridge between the bridge between 1.6 and 2.0 and 2.0... 👅

Q&A Challenge is done.

I based it upon the Registration Security Question plugin, minus the javascript (which I'm terrible at).

The pull request is here: #771

[DiogoParrinha]

@PaulBender your PR has conflicts, I'd love to see this included in Beta 2 already as it only needs testing. Also what do you mean by "minus the javascript" ?

[Starpaul20]

I screwed up when merging my old request so I deleted it and resubmitted it: #777

[Starpaul20]

What I meant by the "minus the javascript" part is the Registration Security Question plugin has javascript validation of the answer along with the ability to refresh and get a new question.

[DiogoParrinha]

Oh I see, I guess I'll have to add that in Beta 3 (if people complain).

[Starpaul20]

Screwed up again merging, had to resubmit: #794

[DiogoParrinha]

Merged PR. Waiting for feedback now.

[DiogoParrinha]

Closing.
