reCaptcha Protected Downloads

Beschrijving

Use the shortcode `[recaptcha-protected-download]` to wrap any direct download link that you’d like reCaptcha to process.

`[recaptcha-protected-download]https://example.com/download.zip[/recaptcha-protected-download]`

Example

Here’s my `hello world` post HTML:

Hello! This page is dynamically generated with my plugin called Content Generator which you can download from <a href="[recaptcha-protected-download]https://my-cdn.tld/static/content-generator.zip[/recaptcha-protected-download]">here</a>.

You can also download WordPress following <a href="[recaptcha-protected-download]https://wordpress.org/latest.zip[/recaptcha-protected-download]">this URL</a>

Which is parsed as follows:

Hello! This page is dynamically generated with my plugin called Content Generator which you can download from <a href="#rcpdl=371bce9996c0afc711648c2c4f3d5c97">here</a>.

You can also download WordPress following <a href="#rcpdl=7039e773658ed3c70d50e791ed4940fd">this URL</a>

About

This plugin opts to generate fake links (anchors) controlled with JavaScript to open up a modal once clicked to opt users to complete the anti-spam test with Google reCaptcha.

Once a user successfully submits a test, an AJAX callback will then verify the response and parse the download.

`md5` is used to hash the download links and fetch them later once a user submits a test.

You must provide your Google reCaptcha credentials which you can obtain from this page

Once you activate the plugin, you should now navigate to “Settings” > “reCaptcha Downlaods” (or “Options” > “reCaptcha Downlaods” for network activated plugin) and add your Google reCaptcha credentials (public and private keys) which you can obtain from https://www.google.com/recaptcha/admin

The development version of this plugin is hosted on Github, feel free to fork it, contribute and improve it, or start a new issue if you want to report something like an unusual bug.
