Uncaptcha v1.5

Brett Profitt

In addition to providing protection against spam-bots, this plugin adds 

a way of immediately validating, enabling, and logging in new user accounts

without the need for email verification.

Uncaptcha uses a reverse captcha to protect against spam bots by inserting a 

"trick" form element into the registration page, but hiding it from users.

If the honey-pot form element has a value, we know a bot is posting the information

and will deny registration to that request. 

**INSTALLATION**

	* Unzip the file to the elgg/mods/ directory.

	* Go to your Elgg tools administration section, find the uncaptcha tool, and 

	  enable it.

	* Customize the settings if desired.

If you plan to use Uncaptcha as a bot-guard only, simply enable the plugin and

it will work automatically--No need to enable validation, enable user, or login

user.  In this case, leave uservalidationbyemail enabled, too.

If you plan to use Uncaptcha to validate, enable, or log in users, you must

DISABLE uservalidationbyemail.  Note that users cannot be logged in without

being validated and enabled.

**CHANGES**

v1.5

	* Added forwarding options after user registration.

	* Major re-working of how users are verified.  Instead of hooking into the

		validate user even, we check in the actual registration action.

	* Added a plugin hook "uncaptcha_register_user" where users are enabled and 

		logged in.

	* Code simplification.

v1.4

	* Changed from checkboxes to pulldown menus for admin settings to get around

		oddity in Elgg Core's handling of plugin settings.

	* Added more explicit installation instructions to README.

v1.3

	* Added default settings that fixes a bug with displaying the trick field.

	* Clarified the settings page.

	* Added installation instructions to README.

v1.2

	* No longer requires a patch to Elgg Core.

	* Updates to allow request_user_validation() to work when not called 

		during registration.

	* Code cleanup in the language file.

	* Better generation of uncaptcha code.

v1.1

	* Code cleanup.

	* Use external CSS for a hidden field.

v1.0

	* Initial release.
