This works fine on my 4.1.7 and finds spammers almost every day. This is such an Awesome Mod.

I'm having trouble.. It's counting EVERYTHING as spam?

Has anyone tried installing this fresh on 4.1.7?

I've just set up a test instance for 4.1.7 and all my other products work so far, but this one gives the following when I try and import the xml file (after having uploaded the relevant folders):

EDIT: I get the same error for the limited guest viewing product. I can't see anything wrong though - I have MyISAM as my default storage engine (I actually don't have InnoDB at all). I'm off to check the manual (mysql version 5.5.16), but if anyone has any ideas in the mean time, please post away.

EDIT2: The 5.0 manual suggests TYPE is deprecated and it should say ENGINE, but that TYPE is supported. There is no mention of TYPE in the 5.5 manual.

I'm running it on 4.1.7 with no problems. Loaded right up and works very well for me.

Changing TYPE to ENGINE in a few places in the XML before import worked fine.

Im running it on 4.1.7 for quite sometime now and it's a wonderful hack. The only thing which bothers me is that it sometimes stops genuine people from registering, only because the username they try to register is flagged :(

Hi

I wonder if anyone would be kind enough to help.
I have been handed our companies forum to look after and im stuck trying to install this as im a complete newb.

I have downloaded but i cant seem to upload to vbulletin 4.17. I point to the cpnav_glowhostspamomatic.xml and vbulletin reports inavlid file specified. I have tried to follow the instructions in the zip but not sure where to put the other files using filezilla as the forum was installed by global gold and again im a useless newb.

Any help would be superb and help me save a few hours of my day on spam.

regards and thanks

Just installed at our forum today running 4.1.7 patch 1, caught 8 spammers already and allowed legitimate registrants in without a hassle. We've been able to turn off manual moderation of new members. Great mod. Thanks GlowHost!

Hi!

Is there any way i can change (translate) the information on my main forum about the spammers tas were denied registration?
I tryed in the phrases search and nothing... Can i find it on cms? Theme? Where?

Many thanks forthe time and its a great plugin!

got it installed now,hope it does the job

It seems this breaks 4.1.7 patch 2.

I get blank pages when posting new threads or reply to old ones.

Thanks.

I updated to 4.1.7 PL2 yesterday and it works fine with it :D

If I activate it, I can't post anything, after I click send when I start a thread or reply, I get a pop up telling me "are you sure you want to leave" and after I click ok, I get a blank page.

Nothing gets posted...

Deactivating it solves the problem.

Anyone ?

Can't replicate your problem polle, I'm running 4.1.7 PL2 and there is no change to the operation.

Strange, the same happened to me when upgrading from 4.1.6 to 4.1.7, but I had an outdated [GlowHost] Spam-O-Matic, I updated it and everything fine.

Now from 4.1.7 to 4.1.7 patch 2, the same, blank pages and alerts when trying to post, reply, erase a message, etc...

So definitely there's something.

I too have upgrade to latest patch and all works fine on my end. Good thing I'm not sure how I would live without it.

I uploaded everything again and now its working :)

Thanks.

polle how did you get around this? When the plug ins are active i get blank pages when someone tries to sign up or post and i have to deactivate the spam-o-matic plug ins

many thanks for any help

That was happening to me as well.

Download it and upload the files, so installing it again fixes the problem.

Hope it helps.

Hi

many thanks, uploaded the folders again and now its working. One more question, is there any way to remove certain tagged usernames from Spam-o-matic is this a local list i can edit or stored at Spam-o-matic or something?

Thanks again peeps

I upgraded from vbulletin suite 4.1.4 to 4.1.7 PL2 yesterday, no issues whatsoever related to spam-o-matic / blank pages, etc...

the annoying "are you sure you want to leave" prompt is something I experienced in 4.1.4, and fixed it/disabled it using a suggestion here:
http://tracker.vbulletin.com/browse/VBIV-12548

You're welcome, in the other thing I have no idea, lets hope someone else share that with you.

DELETE FROM `glowhostspamomatic_remotecache` WHERE (`data`='put in user name here')

Many thanks.Sorry im a newb, where would that reside?

Thanks again all that have helped.

admincp/Maintenance/Execute SQL Query/Manual Query

Many thanks for that, mmmm get a pop up stating i am not authorised to execute SQL queries.
What joy lol.

o.k sorted the query prob, updated config php with
$config['SpecialUsers']['canrunqueries'] = 'x';

...with x being your userid number

So i just paste this text into teh query box but include username?
DELETE FROM `glowhostspamomatic_remotecache` WHERE (`data`='put in user name here')

Many apologies in advance for being a pain, as i say im trying to learn so need spoon feeding for a while.

I'm getting the following error when you try to comment or make a post in the forum after installing this mod, I don't want to uninstall either:

Warning: require_once(includes/functions_ghsom.php) [function.require-once]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in [path]/includes/class_dm_threadpost.php(761) : eval()'d code on line 17

Fatal error: require_once() [function.require]: Failed opening required 'includes/functions_ghsom.php' (include_path='.:/usr/lib/php:/usr/local/lib/php') in /home/stufftos/public_html/forums/includes/class_dm_threadpost.php(761) : eval()'d code on line 17

Please help.

yes just put it in that box change the "put in user name here" with the user name you want to remove from the list then click continue

Request: When banning a user, allow us to report them. I have many members who sign up just to link to their home page, but make no posts. Therefore, I cannot select their posts as spam and then report/ban them.

Hi,

I installed s per instruction and having some problems posting on the forum now. Would anyone in here kind enough to lend a hand please?

I get this message when I try to post.

Warning: require_once(includes/functions_ghsom.php) [function.require-once]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in [path]/includes/functions_newpost.php(466) : eval()'d code on line 5

make sure the file is uploaded to the right folder

thankyou!!

Will this mods against the unwant bots too ?

i have to that error when i try to upload the product-glowhostspamomatic.xml

Hi my friends....

Any one knows how can I report StopForumSpam a spammer ONCE he is allready put in the Spammers group?

I'll try to explain better:

I detect a spammer in the same moment is is registering, so there is no ONE post from him. Inmediatly, I change the users group to Spammers (for example).

Is there any option in GlosHost Spam-O-Matic to report this users as spammer to the StopForumSpam database? (other than entering the users data directly in the StopForumSpam site database, obviously...)

:)

Thanx a lot to all.

not sure why you are trying to stop spammers trying to get in by yourself cause this is what this mod does it is automatic and the few that get in you go to your thread tools and go through process which report it to stop forum spam ....this mod is the best there is imo this has saved me and my staff at my site much time ....
