How do we change the error message shown upon an unsuccessful registration? i.e. the message shown when a spammer is detected at registration.

I like email verification, not for bots, but simply to make sure every registered email address actually exists.

I'm less worried about using the Glowhost newbie system. OK, it's easy to set up, but it's a reinvention of the wheel in as far as vBulletin already provides the means, via usergroup promotions, to do exactly what the Glowhost newbie group does.

No worries. :up:

Onto another subject:

Had a post slip past "Auto-Moderation: URL Count" (set to 0) today.

I believe this to be the culprit:
PHP Code:
substr_count($this->fetch_field('pagetext', 'post'), 'http:') 
The URL they posted began https: :)

Many thanks again and best wishes

You can modify that in the vBulletin phrase manager.

I'm getting a database error everytime I try to save changes to my Usergroup permissions:

Invalid SQL:
UPDATE vb_usergroup SET

MySQL Error : Unknown column 'akvbghsfs_akismet_permissions' in 'field list'
Error Number : 1054

I didn't get this error before the 2.0.2 update. How do I resolve this?

Which phrase is this exactly? I can't seem to find it. Edit: found it!

I think that is caused when you haven't completely uninstalled the previous version. If I remember correctly, it is an xml file in your Admin CP directory that is no longer needed for the current version. Find it and delete.

Hello!
This Product rocks!!
Very happy with it.
We did a small donation to StopForumSpam.com and Akismet :)

Quick question:
Is there a way to submit spammer's info/data to the spam databases (StopForumSpam) without the spammer having posted?
I ask, because we have gotten three spammers that have registered, haven't posted on the forums, yet their signatures are spam.
Instead of just deleting them, maybe it would be cool to "delete and submit".

Thank you for this awesome mod!! :)

Not yet. That functionality is coming in a later release as it is often requested.

BigAl205 03-09-2011 01:01 AM
You could cheat ;)
There's another program that allows an admin to log in as another user. You could log in as the spammer, make a post, and then report it. :D

Probably don't want to do that if your settings are set to send the IP address of the spammer to SFS otherwise you will end up banning yourself from registration on forums that run this mod.

Hello,
I've setup a brand new forum and just downloaded this as the first plugin/mod on the forum.
When installing/uploading the plugin xml file I get the following error.

Warning: file_exists() [function.file-exists]: open_basedir restriction in effect. File(/usr/home/tmp/php8rXcz1) is not within the allowed path(s): (/home/jappleton/:/tmp:/var/tmp:/usr/local/lib/php/) in [path]/includes/adminfunctions.php on line 2449

No idea what's wrong or what it means. Your help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

Hi there,

I've previously used your 1.2.x version but stopped it for a while, and now I found out that you've released a 2.x version.

I made sure to remove that /forum/includes/xml/bitfield_glowhostspamomatic.xml file, and then tried to install it by importing product-glowhostspamomatic.xml into "Products".

I immediately see a database error message:

Quote:
Database error in vBulletin 4.0.7:

Invalid SQL:
CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS `vbulletin_glowhostspamomatic_log`(
`date` DATETIME NOT NULL,
`ip` VARCHAR(15) NOT NULL,

) TYPE=MyISAM;;

MySQL Error : You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near 'TYPE=MyISAM' at line 10

I noticed there's an extra semi-colon at TYPE=MyISAM, but when I checked the product-glowhostspamomatic.xml out, there's only one semi-colon, not two as this error shows.

Any ideas what could be the problem? =/

you can submit spammers by building a form todo it in your admincp here's an example

PHP Code:
if($_REQUEST['do'] == 'submitspam')
 {
  $vbulletin->input->clean_array_gpc('r',array(
   'username'    => TYPE_STR,
   'email'       => TYPE_STR,
   'ip_addr'     => TYPE_STR,
   'api_key'     => TYPE_STR,
   'evidence'    => TYPE_STR
  ));
  print_form_header('glowhostspamomatic','dosubmitspam');
  print_input_row('username','username','',1,30);
  print_input_row('email','email','',1,30);
  print_input_row('ip adress','ip_addr','',1,30);
  print_input_row('apikey','api_key',$vbulletin->options['glowhostspamomatic_apikey'],1,30);
  print_textarea_row('evidence','evidence','',20,50,1,1);
  print_submit_row('submit',0);
 } 
allright almost there now to submit the form to SFS database you have two options

1) PHP with cURL support
2) PHP with sockets support

PHP Code:
if($_POST['do'] == 'dosubmitspam')
 {
  $vbulletin->input->clean_array_gpc('p', array(
   'username'       => TYPE_STR,
   'email'          => TYPE_STR,
   'ip_addr'        => TYPE_STR,
   'api_key'        => TYPE_STR,
   'evidence'       => TYPE_STR
  ));
  $cURL = curl_init();
  curl_setopt($cURL,CURLOPT_URL,"http://www.stopforumspam.com/add.php");
  curl_setopt($cURL,CURLOPT_POST, 1);
  curl_setopt($cURL,CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS,"username=" . $vbulletin->GPC['username'] . "&ip_addr=" . $vbulletin->GPC['ip_addr'] . "&email=" . $vbulletin->GPC['email'] . "&api_key=" . $vbulletin->GPC['api_key'] . "&evidence=" . $vbulletin->GPC['evidence'] . "");
  curl_setopt($cURL,CURLOPT_USERAGENT,"vBulletin cURL spam submitter");
  curl_exec($cURL);
  if(curl_errno($cURL))
  {
    die(print_r(curl_error($cURL))); 
  }
  else
  {
   print_stop_message('spammer_reported_succes'); //this is a phrase
  }
  curl_close($cURL);//do not forget this 
PHP through sockets

PHP Code:
function PostSpam($spamdata)
{
      $sock = fsockopen("www.stopforumspam.com",80);
      fputs($sock, "POST /add.php HTTP/1.1\n" );
      fputs($sock, "Host: www.stopforumspam.com\n" );
      fputs($sock, "Content-type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded\n" );
      fputs($sock, "Content-length: ".strlen($spamdata)."\n" );
      fputs($sock, "Connection: close\n\n" );
      fputs($sock,$spamdata);
      fclose($sock);
} 
with this you need to check the http response either 200(success) or 403(forbidden) usage is the same as the cURL postfields above

PHP Code:
PostSpam(postfields_here) 
i added this to the spamomatic log to check if your host supports either cURL or sockets call

PHP Code:
phpinfo();

You will need to check with your host on that. it seems like a possible misconfiguration in PHP.

Did you use the product manager to first remove the old version? It needs to be removed from there before installing the new version.

Hi there,

Sorry I forgot to mention this, but yes I did uninstall the old version first via the Product Manager, which is why I'm quite puzzled about the error too.

Boofo 03-10-2011 02:04 PM
We just spent an hour trying to figure out why a new user's thread was automatically moderated. It turned out he used a link to a pic of himself in it. My point is that this mod is working EXACTLY as it should. Great job! ;)

I am not really sure why you would be having those problems. You might re-install the original mod. Then try to uninstall it again using product manager, then remove the bitfield file. Then install the latest and see how it goes.

Oops...good point. I didn't think about the IP aspect.:o

I installed this on a 3.8.1 board and it works.

My question is, I think something is missing
Here is what my threads all show.

Anyway to change it and add it to the drop down box?

Nice Mod, but there are *two* web hosting links added to my forum's footer (4.1.2). Couldn't you have just snuck one in there?

Hmm, its supposed to be in the dropdown box. Well, actually, in the default skin there is a popup box with these options. Looks like that theme is doing something strange with the placement of the SOM option.

Probably. This mod doesn't work properly in anything except version 4.0 and higher.

You might want to try the older version here:
https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=248470

That one is made for 3.x boards.

GlowHost.com 03-11-2011 10:23 PM
PS: Dont forget to delete any files that you uploaded when installing this mod for 4.0 before uploading the files for the 3,8 version.

PeZzy 03-12-2011 05:56 AM
I don't know if this is coincidental, but right after I installed this mod I lost the ability to do full screen on embedded youtube videos. I went into Styles and Templates and opened the bbcode_video template and just clicked on save. After saving it shows up red in the list as if it has been modified and full screen works. If I revert the template, full screen stops working. The reverted code shows "allowfullscreen" but it doesn't appear on posts with embedded videos. I just resave the template to get it working again. My usergroup is suppose to be excluded from any spam control. My board is version 4.1.2 .

Update: uninstalled Spam-O-Matic and the problem went away...reinstalled and it came back.

You might try uninstalling then re-installing the latest version to see if it cures the problem for you. If not, I might have a copy of an older version if you lost the one you originally downloaded.

I actually can't install the latest version at all - when I try to install it, that "database error" comes up and stops the installation from proceeding.

Unfortunately I don't have the older version anymore with me, if you still have it, could you link me to it please?

Thanks again!

388 Spammers Denied Registration

Before switching to Vbulletin a few days ago we had to remove those spammers manually, now its automatic. The IP/email check on its own has so far caught every spammer. Theres no need for any of the other features to be turned on.

Excellent job.

I am using the Stop Forum Spam option btw. We used it before and its always worked well.

Thank you so much! :D That indeed worked and solved my problem! I could indeed install the plugin after using the modified file.

Since I posted yesterday giving the spammers stopped 1 day ago. I am going to post todays spammers stopped so you can see how serious the problem is and how good this program has been.

I must say I am very impressed.

Using v2.02 and Vbulletin 4.1.2 I've just noticed if I try and search in Google for the IP address I get the following message:

Google SafeSearch is ON StopForumSpam Search Web Search

Your search - 86.136.144.121 - did not match any documents.

Suggestions:
Make sure all words are spelled correctly.
Try different keywords.
Try more general keywords.

Is this something to do with this mod or is it something else entirely

Thanks

I have a quick question. At what point does this mod check if its a spammer. The second they click register? Can you make the check point to be after the vb email verification? The reason I'm wondering is because we do like to know that its a valid email address that is on theusers file for various reasons

It is checked after they pass the vBulletin registration and human verification (if enabled) which many bots will fail with so there is no need to check those.

I don't understand what you mean by having a valid email address. If you use email validation then you users must have a valid address otherwise they won't be able to become a registered user.
