plone.formwidgets.hcaptcha

plone.formwidget.hcaptcha is a z3c.form widget that integrates HCaptcha into Plone websites. It provides a robust, configurable captcha solution to secure forms from automated attacks, replacing the older plone.formwidget.recaptcha package.

Key Features

• HCaptcha Integration — Implements the HCaptcha service for bot detection and verification.
• Configurable Control Panel — Includes a dedicated settings panel at @@hcaptcha-settings for easy site key and secret key management.
• Custom Verification Endpoint — Allows overriding the default HCaptcha API endpoint via environment variables for staging or internal testing.
• Supermodel Support — Enables adding captcha fields directly in XML models using the HCaptchaWidget field type.
• Demo and Examples — Provides a demo folder with example implementations for developers.

Philosophy

The project follows Plone's extensible architecture, offering a drop-in replacement for older captcha solutions while maintaining compatibility with Plone's form and widget ecosystems.
