Implemented Captcha Interface

[ragtek]

It would be cool, if it would be easier to add own Captcha Methods.

I'm not sure if it's allready poosible, but i hadn't found an easy way, to add own methods to the options with an add-on. (http://xenforo.com/community/threads/add-own-option-to-existing-options.6430/#post-93273 )

I had to add it manualy.

What about a method "fetchInstalledCaptcha" which returns all installed/available captcha classes for the ACP options.

Second problem:

    public static function createDefault($alwaysCreate = false)
    {
        if (!$alwaysCreate && !XenForo_Visitor::getInstance()->showCaptcha())
        {
            return false;
        }

        $captchaType = XenForo_Application::get('options')->captcha;

        if (!$captchaType)
        {
            return false;
        }

        $class = "XenForo_Captcha_" . $captchaType;

        return new $class();

It would be cool, if the class could be a complete variable

Problem:
My class is located in Ragtek/Captcha/Foo because i don't want to add ANY OWN file in the xenforo directory to be sure, that i don't have any upgrade problems in the feature and because of my add-on packager

Maybe it would be possible, to rewrite it with the event listener, but if the classname would be variable, we wouldn't have to create the listener and use only XenForo_Application::get('options')->captcha;

*up*

At least the second part is easy to intergrate

It would be great if you would add at least a way to use manual to the option added captaches which are not located inside xenforo directory(because you said that we shouldn't do this)

Just like with the controllerhelper

        if (strpos($class, '_') === false)
        {
            $class = 'XenForo_Captcha_' . $class;
        }

BTW, did this last night.

There's a new event you can listen to to add chioces to the CAPTCHA option and the factory can take a full class name.
