I ended up writing my own script to delete them if they had content in their sig but no posts, deleted the threads and posts by them too.

Hello !

I verified once again on my forum (in English to be sure to be in the same conditions that your's).

No match.

How did you install the mod ?
Manually ?

Burnouts · 2013-01-18 15:28:14

Once you install the mod using install_mod.php you must then follow the rest of the steps outlined in the readme.txt file, it is long the lines of modifying register.php, login.php and profile.php (and some lang files).

To the creator of this I would think it would be a good idea to include this more visible to the people installing the mod because if you just use install_mod.php it does actually install it but not completely, thus leaving some like me and skleder a bit confused to why it isn't working.

Working great here though!

Hello.

Sorry, but it was such an evidence for me, that I did'nt mention that all the steps in the readme.txt were to be applied

[Edit]
I've added the information in the first post of this topic.

May I assume that this mod has to be applied manually but not with Mod Installer?

Also, will this play nice with the "Very Simple Anti Bot Registration" mod?

Cheers!

Hi,

I am getting the following error when a user attempts to sign up

"You are identified as undesirable. RC : 3"

I have tried to signup to my own forum using a unused email but I get this issue when I click "register".

Seems to be an issue across a few of my fluxbb installs, tried a clean install but same issue.

Other mods installed are ezbbc toolbar, mod installer and private messaging. I don't think any of these would be conflicting?

I feel that spambarrier is blocking all users, as I've gone from a few users per day to none (not bots).

Total
Not spam: 0
Blocked by Honeypot: 12738
Blocked by SFS: 9
Blocked by DNSBL: 0
Average last 7 days
Not spam: 0 per day
Blocked by Honeypot: 230.71 per day
Blocked by SFS: 0.14 per day
Blocked by DNSBL: 0 per day

I have tried turning off all spam checks but it does not seem to make any changes, I am thinking there is some issues with the mod.

Hi !

Sorry for the late answers ...

@raygene : The mod may be installed manually, or with Daris' Patcher (thats the method I use).
I didn't try to "port" it on Otomatic's "Mod Installer", but it shouldn't be too hard for who has already "ported" some mod on "Mod Installer".

@Burnouts : : Could you paste the code of your register.php and login.php files, please ?
Are you sure you don't call the "include/spambarrier.php" in any other script ?

[Edit]
The code "RC=3" indicates indicates that the HoneyPot field has been posted as not empty, but shouldn't be tested on login (only on registering) ...

Hey thanks for checking this..

This is the contents of my register.php - http://pastebin.com/eS8zDYbZ

sklerder · 2013-02-21 08:08:20

Hi Burnouts.

It seems to me you missed steps 28 & 29, which are very important : They create the HoneyPot field in the register form

According to that, it appears to me that you apply modifications manually ...
Well, perhaps should you use Daris' Patcher ... It will really simplify your installations

Burnouts · 2013-02-21 11:20:35

I did them manually because the mod installer left out the steps.. you may want to look into that.

sklerder · 2013-02-21 12:01:22

Huuuh ?

What do you mean, exactly ?
In the readme.txt, these steps are not optional

raygene · 2013-02-26 20:17:08

Before I install this mod, is it compatible with 1.5.3?

Thanks.

sklerder · 2013-02-26 20:38:05

Hi !

Yes, it should be ...
I didn't test it agains 1.5.3, but knowing what has been modified since 1.5.2 and 1.5.3, it shouldn't be a problem

raygene · 2013-02-26 20:46:51

Thanks for the quick reply!

Should I add 1.5.3 to:

$fluxbb_versions= array('1.5.0','1.5.1','1.5.2');

To avoid getting the version warning?

Merci!

Franz · 2013-02-26 20:52:32

Yes, but it's not necessary.

raygene · 2013-02-26 20:56:19

Thanks for your help, much appreciated.

Thank you Franz ...
Same answer

raygene · 2013-02-26 21:23:25

Sorry to be a pain but since I've already installed "Very Simple Anti Bot Registration", should I apply the mod using Patcher or do it manually just in case VSABR may have modified certain lines SpamBarrier will?

sklerder · 2013-02-26 21:47:34

You can try with Patcher ...
Thats with it I installed SpamBarrier.
If something goes wrong, it will alert you before making modifications ...
Then, you'll have to uninstall VSABR, but maybe there won't be any conflict

raygene · 2013-02-26 21:55:00

Thanks, I'll try using Patcher and see what happens, if there's a problem, I'll uninstall VSABR.

I'll keep you posted...

Un gros merci du Québec.

raygene · 2013-02-27 00:39:34

Update: I had to install it manually because there was a line already modified by VSABR and I had to merge a bit of code from the two mods.

It seems that the installation went well, I entered my StopForumSpam API key, checked the required options and saved the settings.

Since this board isn't live (public) yet, is there a way to test SpamBarrier?

Also, may I assume that if I need to remove or update VSABR, I'll have to do so manually? This was installed using Mod Installer (as suggested by the mod author) and my merged code line might interfere with the code from both mods.

cyberman · 2013-02-27 06:07:57

Many thanx for this nice mod - works for me with 1.4.8 as I need.

Only on user search I got an Fatal error

Fatal error: Call to undefined function parse_signature() in /usr/www/users/itozrm/forum/plugins/AP_SpamBarrier.php on line 103

Think the spam assassin is essential so it should be a FluxxBB feature, not only a mod .

When I install this mod (FluxBB 1.5.2) then people have error during registration process. Error is when user click "Register" button... Whats wrong?

An error was encountered
Error: Unable to log user registration.

Clean FluxBB 1.5.2 with only "Patcher by Daris" modification...
