The reCAPTCHA phpBB2 plugin uses a CAPTCHA to prevent forum spam.
We recommend that you use the reCAPTCHA phpBB MOD to install reCAPTCHA. There are two mods available, one for registration and one for guest posts.
In addition to the phpBB MOD, there's also a patch to enable reCAPTCHA on registration. To install reCAPTCHA using a patch, follow these directions:
1.Download the zip file and extract.
2.Move the file recaptchalib.php to your phpBB includes directory.
3.Move the profile_add_body.tpl.patch file to the phpBB templates/ directory (by default is 'subSilver')
4.Apply the second patch by running the following command from the phpBB templates/ directory:
5.Sign-up for reCAPTCHA keys here. reCAPTCHA will issue you a public and private key. Open usercp_register.php in your includes directory and update the $recaptcha_public_key and $recaptcha_private_key with the values you were issued.
6.That's it! Your ReCAPTCHA widget should now appear on the user registration page.
