Re: SPAM blocking : SpamBarrier mod

Hello.

Didn't try it with 1.5.8, because I'm staying on 1.5.6 (plus security modifications), so I'm not sure, but as far as I could check, it should be compatible.

Re: SPAM blocking : SpamBarrier mod

Spambarrier does work with 1.5.8, when I had a forum.

Re: SPAM blocking : SpamBarrier mod

I have a problem with error:8 showing up. Hunting through the code I can edit it and remove it. When I try running AP_Honeypot_SFS.php again I get error:9  I edit it out and repeat a few more times and eventually the page will load minus the stats.

Looking in this thread, I am not the only one who has had issues with this.

K update:

In case someone else uses SQLITE intstead, the from_unixtime is nto supported so:
AP_SpamBarrier.php
replace:
DATE(FROM_UNIXTIME(date))
with
strftime("%Y-%m-%d",date,"unixepoch")

Perhaps you can somehow include that change into the readme for next version?

In my case I am using pgsql, Any thoughts on what the correct way of setting $day_selector when using pgsql?

Re: SPAM blocking : SpamBarrier mod

Installed files to include, lang and plugins but I get Error 1 message in red... Am I doing something wrong?

Re: SPAM blocking : SpamBarrier mod

Hello !

Did you apply all instructions in the readme.txt ?
This message appears to me to be due to database instructions not having been applied ...

Re: SPAM blocking : SpamBarrier mod

Followed readme ignored 4-18 & 30-38 but I am getting error 1. Should say I am running 1.5.10

Re: SPAM blocking : SpamBarrier mod

Hello !

Sorry for the late.

Perhaps didn't you follow exactly the readme ?
Did you apply the install_mod.php script ?
It is necessary for having the specific tables ...

I use this mod (of course ) on my forum which is FluxBB 1.5.10 and have no issue

Re: SPAM blocking : SpamBarrier mod

Hi,
I'm using this mod on FluxBB 1.5.11 and it works great.
I have a question about datas inside the test_registrations table. Specifically:
spam - I guess that "1" means that spam-bot was detected, "0" means that human was detected.
What is s_errors?
And what is count_errors?
And when and what values can the botcheck acquire?
Thanks
Shortik

Re: SPAM blocking : SpamBarrier mod

Sorry can't check it now, but probably:
count_errors will block for some time any new attempt after some defined number of failed try.

Re: SPAM blocking : SpamBarrier mod

Hi,

I have latest SpamBarrier installed on 1.5.11 and it seems to be working well. The only thing I'm not sure is working are the submissions to the StopForumSpam service. In my StopForumSpam account the submissions section shows no results even though I've been reporting spammers for a week or so.

Not sure if this is a problem with the SpamBarrier mod or with the StopForumSpam website itself. Anyone else getting this issue?

Re: SPAM blocking : SpamBarrier mod

Just installed this mod on 1.5.11, with modifications of quy ( page before ) and everything seems to work great.
Submission to Stop Forum Spam also

Re: SPAM blocking : SpamBarrier mod

Hi there, Thank you Sklerder for this mod. I installed it on 1.5.11 with modification of Quy (post #65) and as Elemetair said, it works well. However, the hidden function of the honey pot field is not handled by Chrome on desktop computers. So the field is visible. To hide it I used a little trick found here : stackoverflow.com/questions/4025843/chrome-doesnt-cache-hidden-form-field-values-for-use-in-browser-history

In the file "register.php" find :

<input type="hidden" name="form_sent" value="1" />
<label class="required usernamefield"><strong><?php echo $lang_register['If human'] ?></strong><br /><input type="text" name="req_user" value="" size="25" maxlength="25" /><br /></label>

and replace it with :

<div style="display: none">
<input type="hidden" name="form_sent" value="1" />
<label class="required usernamefield"><strong><?php echo $lang_register['If human'] ?></strong><br /><input type="text" name="req_user" value="" size="25" maxlength="25" /><br /></label>
</div>

I'm not a dev so I hope this won't break the work of the honey pot. Forgive me if this is a bad idea

Re: SPAM blocking : SpamBarrier mod

I don't have this behaviour with my install, just tested with chrome and i can't see the honeypot.
Did you add this "hidden"style to your css file ?

/* Something extra for the honeypot spam mod */

.pun .usernamefield {
	display: none;
}
