[ZendTo] Upgrading gotchas request

I've noticed upgrading is always a challenge because the config file is
long and detailed. Could we get ZendTo to have a default config and then
the user creates an over-ride config? Some programs use this method and I
think it's a lot easier when upgrading.

Hi Jules,

 We've been using the google captcha and today, after the upgrade to the
latest version, it still works OK but we would like to test the new option,
AreYouAHuman.com and this is not working.

 I've copied the related section from the package preferences.conf to my
existing one and subscribed to AreYouAHuman.com, added the site but noting
shows when there should be a game.

Did you see the note in the AreYouAHuman comments in preferences.conf about
setting the game type to "Embedded" and not "Lightbox"?

 Apache complains about missing keys, but they are there in the
preferences.conf. When we switch to Google everything works as expected.

Do you have the new section of code at the bottom of preferences.conf?

You're far better off importing your changes into the new preferences.conf
than trying to back-port the new bits into your old one. Looks like you've
missed some.

Jules.


 What can it be?

 Thanks in advance.

 Regards,

 João
