I have good luck just using the native human verification for that action.

Plus, the Mods in addition to this one, which are recommended at the link in my signature, help as well.

Have you had time to look at this yet kh99?

Thanks,

Sorry, I haven't. I'll try again this weekend.

Thank you for this! Works perfectly for 4.2.2

I have my minimum value set at 10 with max set at 0. I also have the force user to wait until minimum time enabled, then have the redirect to registration page with error message. I was going through my glow-host spam logs and noticed the same users hitting the page 5+ times so I went to do a test registration and noticed that even after the timer stopped and the registration button enabled it is always returning the user to the registration page with the error message specified in the settings.

I AM using FunCaptcha but that shouldn't have any issues i wouldn't think.

check error logs for full error

I don't have anything in my vb php error logs

check the tec email your have in the config error should go there

Others have reported that it doesn't work when Captcha is enabled, so maybe you're having a similar problem. If I get a chance to look in to that issue I'll post an update.

Works as intended. Caught about 5 within the hour.

I use Captcha with this mod because I know the only thing Captcha slows down is people. Bots fly past it in seconds, literally.

Thanks for this :)

It also, annoys them. But that's for another thread.:D

I would have to agree, captcha's are a thing of the past, and only annoy potential members. I don't use them, or questions and have no spam.

I noticed that this conflicts in mobile skin. Even though my minimum seconds is set to 15, no matter how long I wait I still get the error "are you a spam bot" message, only in mobile registration process. Any fix?

Hmm...I'm afraid I don't know anything about the mobile stuff. Is it just a different style? Then I suppose the problem is that it's not inserting the right codes in the template. There's probably a way around that (like having an option to insert what's needed manually), but I haven't looked at this is a long time so I can't remember right now. I'll try to look at it soon (but I should warn you that I keep telling people that and I never manage to get any vb stuff done).

OK, I got curious and looked at it a little. It works by adding the extra form values to the $timezoneoptions variable, so as long as you have that in your style it should be OK.

But I was only guessing that that was the problem, it could be something else.

Edit: OK, Chadi, I looked at your site and I see that the mobile style doesn't have the option to select the timezone, so I guess that's the problem. RIght now it doesn't look like there's any way to add it manually because I'd have to register the variables to your template. But I can add an option to do that (and maybe it will solve some other people's problems as well).

OK, well I'm glad you responded before I added that option. But now I'm at a loss. I guess I could try to add some logging so I can actually help people who have problems instead of telling them "I don't know".

Installed on 4.2.2 PL1 Suite and it works perfectly! Thank you very much! :D

Configuring inside the plugin also I can say that work perfectly on 4.2.2
Many thanks to the coder.
Very usefull.
I will mark immediately your mod. ;)

http://www.eliquid-forum.com/threads...-the-why/page3

look also the next pages...
What is this???????

That looks like threadid 1. I guess you have "Enable posting a notice to a thread..." set to Yes, and "Specify the id of an existing thread to which notifications will be posted" to 1. So you must either specify a different threadid for those posts, or else set "Enable posting a notice to a thread..." to No.

Hi kh99 and tanks for your quickly reply.

The thing is this:
If i set "Enable posting a notice to a thread..." to No
the mod doesn't stop to send post in the id1 thread

In the 4.2.1 vb look that this option work (cause i have 2 forum)
but in the 4.2.2 the post are still sent in the post id1 also if the "notification post" option is disabled.

I haven't, sorry. What I meant by my last post is that unless I find time to add logging, I probably can't help. IIRC the mod actually has some messages in it but they just aren't written out anywhere, so maybe I can put them in a db table or something (or use the vb log, as I think someone else suggested a while back).

just installed it done got one...nice add on... Thanks

edit: I do like the redirect thing...lol

It will get alot more than that, this is a pretty cool mod. :)

Hey Kevin, question. I am trying to get this to write to the DB, when there is a timer trigger, but it don't seem to work, here is what I tried.

Hook Location, register_start
Execution Order, tried 5 and 15

Code:

PHP Code:


		
			
function kh99_sbs_post2(&$data, $event)
{
   global $vbulletin;

   if ($data['reject'])
   {
        $dateline = TIMENOW;
        $vbulletin->db->hide_errors();

        $vbulletin->db->query_write("
            INSERT INTO `". TABLE_PREFIX ."bad_bots1`
            (
                dateline, 
                bots1, 
                agent,
                userip
            )
            VALUES 
            (
                ".$dateline.", 
                '2', 
                '1',
                '1'
            )
        ");   
   }
}

But I believe it is not doing so, and it seems to stop the post from being added also. :confused:

I don't see anything wrong with that code. I'd have to have time to re-familiarize myself with how the mod works to be able to help more.

Not in a big hurry, I am taking the counts I need from the reply count in the thread for the time being. :)

Hello my vBulletin 4.2.2 Patch Level 1 not working.

Installed and configured as 600 seconds, but allows registering about 40/60 seconds, which is what it take to complete the fields.
the submit button is not disabled

You have to do something else besides install and configure?

Using the original template vbulletin

Greetings

sorry for the English of google, I'm Spanish

600 secs is far to high set it to 20

It's just for a test.
now get only 70 seconds

for 70 seconds and allowed to register
the submit button is not disabled

greetings

Edit: Do you still have this mod installed? If you do, and if you want to PM me a link to your site I can look at the html of the registration page and see if the hidden form fields are being inserted correctly.

OK, I looked at your site and I don't see the hidden fields being added to your registration page. They are supposed to be added to the end of the time zone information, and I see the time zone options, so I don't know what's going on. Do you still have this mod enabled?

You could try disabling your other mods temporarily (especially if any of them have to do with registration) and see if that makes any difference. Also you could try turning off human verification temporarily to see if that makes any difference.

Sorry I can't be of any more help.

I've seen that puts the control panel:
Warning: Plugins are currently globally disabled from the config.php file

I have looked in config.php and had this:

PHP Code:


		
			
define('DISABLE_HOOKS', true);

define('SKIP_DS_ERRORS', true);

It may be that?
I have removed and leaves no warning.

plugins installed:
Innovative Google Analytics
Auto Database Backup
Spambot Stopper

Greetings

Note:
Its works

Wait to Complete Registration in ...

Yes.

Error it's:

PHP Code:


		
			
define('DISABLE_HOOKS', true);

if you put that in the config stops working

greetings

Yeah, that will stop any mods from running.
