Captcha options

Just a heads-up. We have installed the guest user plug-in that by default uses the Google reCaptcha. This is not an option for those of us with users in China, since China blocks everything Google; you’d have to use a VPN to complete the registration page. I am currently on the hunt for an alternative if anyone has suggestions that might work best with Omeka.

It seems to me that one potential solution is this:

" Can I use reCAPTCHA globally?

Yes, please use “www.recaptcha.net” in your code in circumstances when “www.google.com” is not accessible.

  • First, replace <script src=“https:// www.google.com /recaptcha/api.js” async defer></script> with <script src=“https:// www.recaptcha.net /recaptcha/api.js” async defer></script>
  • After that, apply the same to everywhere else that uses “www.google.com/recaptcha/” on your site."

Unfortunately not really sure where in Omeka to change it; I don’t see anything in the libraries that calls Google.

You could either change the value of constant API_SECURE_SERVER here in your installation or propose PR to set the URL or maybe even always use www.recaptcha.net?
