make sure you have the files installed in the right folders

I'm pretty sure I do. Any help would be appreciated (:

Hello guys, I really need help with this plugin. I've got my WordPress installation integrated with vB. Whenever a new thread is made in WP, its posted in a specific section in vB by a specific user but whenever i've the Spam-O-Matic enabled, it wouldnt make a new thread it vB.

This is the error it gives when I try to publish the post in WP:
It gets published in WP but corresponding thread in vB isnt made even though it'll added that user and its user group as an exception in Spam-O-Matic's settings.

Thanks.

This is the best mod for vbulletin i have ever seen. Its so extensive and useful.

Installed on vB 4.0.2 and it works out of the box. Beautiful. Thank you guys.

Hello....
Anybody could please tell me why I received this error VIA email after uploading Spamomatic Files.

Database error in vBulletin 4.2.0:

Invalid SQL:

Open The XML file (product-glowhostspamomatic.xml) and edit "TYPE=MyISAM" to say "ENGINE=MyISAM" in 3 places: on line 30, 38 and 47. Resave, then reimport and allow overwrite.

This is a change required for the MySQL version you have (highlighted in red above).

Awesome! That fixed the Problem. Really Thank you:up:

Change TYPE=MyISAM to ENGINE=MyISAM in the XML file when doing a new install, and to developer please add another copy for this it would be easier. :)

NOTE: this does not affect you if you have it already installed.

Getting this error guys

"Warning: require_once(includes/functions_ghsom.php) [function.require-once]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in [path]/register.php(338) : eval()'d code on line 10

Fatal error: require_once() [function.require]: Failed opening required 'includes/functions_ghsom.php' (include_path='.:/usr/lib/php:/usr/local/lib/php') in /home/techin52/forums/register.php(338) : eval()'d code on line 10"

Tried to reinstall everything as well. No difference. cURL is installed and the other setting is enabled too

you have not installed the file that it is asking for

installed

I did as asked. Uploaded the spam o matic folder to forum root, and the xml file to the plugins manager. Am i missing something?

you have 3 files one goes to the
admincp folder glowhostspamomatic.php the next one goes into the
includes folder functions_ghsom.php and the last one goes into
incudes/xml cpnav_glowhostspamomatic.xml
then go to admincp/Plugins & Products/Manage Products scroll down and click Add/Import Product and upload the product-glowhostspamomatic.xml

Sorry, might have to spell it out for me even more.

Instructions given in note document:


2.2. Upload content of the upload folder into you forum root folder


2.3. Import product-glowhostspamomatic.xml into products (Located
at
AdminCP -> Plugin System -> Manage Products -> Add/Import Product)

That's the only 'installation' instructions of which I did both. Then what next?

What part do you not understand from my above post. I can talk to you on skype if you need help

All of it? The reason I say that is because I followed the post instructions. My questions if.. since I did those two things in the instructions. The issue is WHAT do I do next, after I've done what I did.

pm sent

I see request after request after request of a whitelist option. Any news on that front? No one has a solution. I have to stop using the plugin (even though it's AWESOME) because I'm getting far to many normal people that can't register due to being listed as spammers, and they aren't.

I found that disabling the username check but keeping the IP and email check enabled has fixed the issue of banning genuine users while keeping all the spammers and bots at bay. Have you tried this setting yet?

I had not, so right now I just changed it too IP and Email check only. Lets see how that works.

I have this installed, and it was working well. Lately I have been getting hammered every day with tons of spammer accounts. Is there an update for this? Will there be soon? Is there another option that will work???

I think I figured it out. Somehow the option of what to do when a spammer is detected got changed to allow them to register, not block registration.

Hi i installed this addon but problem is it wont display like it does on this picture https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/attachmen...6&d=1297118184 i'm ussing vbulletin 4.2.0 and all i see is title but nothing more under it :( also title is click able and it takes me to this topic so idk whats wrong :(

Yes, the title should be hyperlinked and nothing should display under it when first installed. Depending on how you set your admin settings depends on what will eventually show there. Check under statistics and logs for "GlowHost - Spam-O-Matic Logs" to see if it is running.

But on pic link i attached it shows that it should say alot of txt under name like of how meny spammers is blocked and so :/

Not until it actually blocks spammers, until then it will be blank. If you have a slow site it could be blank for awhile.

Is there any way to report a spammer to StopForumSpam if they never post? Just recently spammers have been registering by the dozens (per day) but they don't post. They were after the blog feature but I have the blog spam under control, I just want to report them.

Thanks.

You can use this plugin and this code change.

Works for me.

just do this for code




all he needed to do is use the settings from the product

is the old stopforumspam setting string for the other product he is using
this is glowhost setting string for stopforumspam api

I tried that did not work you need to use the code change

ah i just rechanged the code again i missed something

anyways it works for me on vb 4.2.0 with no issues

here is my screenshot

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/

this is the code I am using is your code the same if not post yours

yeah you are just using it as a plugin and nothing to do with the product as there are no vb variables shown for glowhost product

mine is based on [GlowHost] Spam-O-Matic - Spam Firewall stops forum spam
vb variables which is why i suggested using my code as it fits the need for the plugin addon for stopforumspam

I am using this plugin
with the above coding as
Product: vBulletin
Hook Location: useradmin_edit_column1
Title: Submit to StopForumSpam.com
Execution Order: 5
Plugin PHP Code:

then putting in the above code

If this is wrong say

its fine as you are using it as a seperate plugin from this product

i just meant that the code i changed is based on the product itself thats all

This mod has been a life saver. I just want to point out, though, that I finally got around to changing my Human Verification Options from ReCaptcha to a very easy Question and Answer, and now I hardly have any spam even getting to the SFS check stage. I used to see one every few minutes, no I only have one every several hours. Pretty awesome.

I lost the stats in the WGO box. whats the code to re-insert it manually?

An uninstall and install isn't working.

Newbie to forums here, I just purchased and attempted to install vB5 beta 11 and gave up after 3 installs and then realizing that it was a bad idea to try out a beta when I hadn't done anything beyond HTML in 10 years LOL, and no plug-ins were written for it yet.

Installed vB4.2 P2 with ease after the learning steps above and then installed keycaptcha (LOVE that thing!), SOM and vB Bad Behaviour, thanks to links on vbulletin.com. Got an Aksimet and StopForumSpam keys also. Also added a Q&A to the registration screen. I think with all of that, I may never have much of a spammer problem at all.

Had trouble with getting new "test" users set up, it was pegging every attempt as a spammer, turning SOM off fixed it, but I still wanted it up and running. Read the first 300 and last 200 posts on this thread (roughly) and determined that I hadn't configured it right, but there really isn't a guide for configuring. I figured out from various posts that I needed to

1) disable Akismet in vBulletin and let SOM handle it
2) decrease the SFS remote expiry from 90 days to 10 days (I believe it was this that fixed the registration problem)

Can anyone think of anything else I should consider? I do not have newbies manager on. I do have auto-moderation on, but I might shut this off unless a problem arises.

From reading what I have read on here and vbulletin.com, I am very happy to have found the tools to prevent problems from happening. Now I suppose it's a waiting game to see if the bots can break keycaptcha.

Thank you so much to the developers on this site. The installs went very smoothly...so far, so good!
