Have Spam o matic installed and was directed here also to install this but in what folder do I load the xml into:o

Thanks

/includes/xml/

Otherwise in product manager simply click to "Browse" and locate the product.xml file in the folder on your computer to upload that way.

Also nice mod kh99, added to the list :D https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=276547

Hello!

Good plugin.. thanks!

Now I'm using it with Spam-O-Matic (my first Bot filter).
Is it possibile to take action to "Spambot Stopper" after Spam-O-Matic and not before as default?

Thanks

I think it might be possible to do that by adjusting the "execution order" fields of the plugins on one or the other of the mods, but unfortunately I don't have time to test it. If you do decide to try it, maybe increase all the plugins for this mod by a fixed amount (which will make them run later than other plugins on the same hooks), so that they stay the same order relative to each other (I hope that makes sense). It may or may not work depending on which hook locations are used by Spam-O-Matic.

Hello kh99,
thanks for the tip... but it did not solve the problem :(

I've also seen a possible bug (after the execution order change and after reset).
In case of "bad" captcha, the user will retry to reinsert it (+password).
For this operation he takes little time (<20 sec)
In this case here the result:

Code:

...a registration attempt was rejected because:
- Form submission time less than 20 second(s) (12 seconds).

The problem you're referring to is that if this mod catches someone registering too fast, it doesn't go through Spam-O-Matic?

I could look in to that if I get a chance. It could be that no one's mentioned that yet because spambots are getting by captcha, so people aren't using it.

I was referring to Spam-O-Matic priority (before this plugin).
No effect with your tip about "order".

kh99 do you think there may be a problem with runnin this mod and yours?

I was using a similar mod to yours and was having a conflict.

It's quite possible, but I haven't tested them together. When it comes down to it, any other mod that deals with registrations has a chance of conflicting with this mod, but all I can really do is try to deal with issues people report (and I don't even have a lot of time for that these days).

Are you having a problem with this mod conflicting with the db tech mod, or did you just want to let me know about the possibility?

CharlieDelta 09-06-2013 05:18 PM

I wanted to let you know but even more importantly I would like to use your mod as it is a great weapon in keeping away spam registrations. :)
