the xml file is what you import, you don't upload it to the includes/xml folder

this is expected behavior because it detects the same folders, but if its a new install there won't be any files to overwrite in that folder. For future upgrades, you'll be overwriting previously uploaded files.
But its only giving you the replace the folders question because its detecting the folders are already there, it won't do anything with any other files within the folder unless that file already exists.

Hope that helps.

OK - so I should say yes?

I wasn?t referring to the product.xml, it?s about the cpnav_glowhostspamomatic.xml. Any ideas what could have happend? May be cpnav_glowhostspamomatic.xml is trying to install at in a cpnav_ hook, where other mods have installed theirs? How could I change that to another hook/place ?

okay so you're saying you can't find the admincp settings for SpamoMatic, in your admincp folder there should be a glowhostspamomatic.php file, and the settings themselves are under the main settings manager, just check close to the bottom of the list...

My apologies if this was covered, but I searched and found nothing. I am installing SpamOMatic for the first time, and when I click on Import Product, I get this error message. Any suggestions are most welcome. Thanks.

I have a question that I can't seaem to find an answer for...

Does the Spam-O-Matic have a unbalanced tilt towards not recognizing IP reports in favor of email reports from submissions?

I ask this because on our forum- every spammer that gets through has bad IP reports from sometimes days/months before registering with our site. They get through with a good email, but the IP comes back as previously reported. This has happened numerous times.

I find that this is the case for nearly 99% of the bans. We're using the VBulletin version of Spam-O-Matic and this problem has been on-going for at least a month if not longer.

Is this a known bug in the Spam-O-Matic, and if so, are there any plans to fix it?

Is anyone else having the same problem?

Thanks in advance for any help in this.

Lisa :)

Many thanks to puertoblack for posting the modified code that works flawlessly. Up and running now, my apologies for any duplication... http://www.carforums.net/images/smilies/dupe.gif

Thanks for this Mod. I installed this on my higher bot traffic site about 3 days ago to see how well it works and so far it has blocked all spammers 100%. 39 Spammers Denied Registration so far and counting. Again, Thanks very much for this Mod.

I can't get APIkey from stopspam.

Can you help me ??
