Wow, sorry! ...

To fix this, just add an IP that is impossible....

AAAAAAAAA

Next, add a HOST that is impossible

AAAAAAAAA

I will rewrite this tonight to put in a "null" check and update the product!

I thought I had verified that a null value would not do this but I need to confirm again tonight.

It's good that you are making the change... We appeciate it.

I know this mod is to stop people from getting to the posts at all, but I was wondering if it might be easy to change what is restricted. I allow guest to post in all my forums, but I don't have much control over them if they act bad.

Is it possible IP No Post might come out? :) I would like for everyone to always see the posts, but certain domains or ips could not post or reply at all...

What do you think?

Sure, I can do that in a couple minutes as it would be the same code just use the newpost, newreply, and newthread hooks (plus a new place for the IPs and Hosts to block from posting)... I'll do it tonight when I look at the issue with "null" values.

I can't reproduce this... I ran a test on my server with both text areas empty and guests had no problems. I also do not see any reason in the code that "null" would cause this problem as the IP match is a vebatum match and the Host code already eliminates "null" values.

So, my guess is your server is not able to resolve IP addresses or Hosts but I can't tell without seeing it... Perhaps you can echo your IP and HOST to see if these variables have values.

If this does not work for you, I am afraid that that the other program you asked for will not work either! Try adding your own IP address to the blocked list and log out and see if this works. Then, add your HOST to the blocked list (no IP) and then confirm if it works.

If they don't work, then this looks like a server issue on your end.

Thank you for the efforts, but I'll have to wait a while before testing this mod again. I got in a lot of trouble abou it, so I'll wait it out and try later.

I had just installed it and I hadn't even tried to enter any ips in it. So I'm not sure what the problem was, but our members started calling us forum dictators for not allowing any of them to see the sites content... :)

can this product be modified to prevent certain IPs from registering? (I see you are already working on a version to prevent them from posting so yay!!!)

Yea, the same code can also be used to stop registration by users with a specific host or IP as well...

I have the Post code done but I have not had the chance to set up my developmental board so I can test it yet. It will be done this weekend plus I can add one to block registrations. The code is bascll

Neither of these are additions are items I think I would want on my site but after my struggles with AOL trolls (Wal-Mart Connect, Netscape Connect, and AOL are all the same AOL users) I understand the need.

Good Job...

I just tried installing this in 3.6.4 and it doesn't seem to be working. Added a couple different IP's and then had a friend check and it still allowed him to raom around as a guest. Is this not compatible with 3.6.4?

3.6.6?
