Thank you so much for this, I am sick and tired of bots registering to spam all over the place.

Sure? :eek::up:

Yup. vbStopForumSpam testing is performed prior to the captcha (email, dupe user, ip ban etc etc etc) checks. if the mod says "allow reg", this means that the mod has allowed the registration to pass to the next mod or to vbulletin for processing. By the log message, theyve failed captcha testing, missed a field or any variation of the normal vbulletin tests.

OMG!

They put my mod in the MOTD vote for October.

Talk about smile ear to ear!

Im not sure If Im allow to link to the MOTD vote or anything that could be considered soliciting votes so Im not going to but talk about happy :)

Hey guys, look what I just spotted.. looks like vbStopForumSpam mod has been been put on the "Mod of the Month" for October.

This is major kudos for Pedigree and all of the hard work that he has put into it.

voted. ;)

I see a couple other people had this problem as well - when I try to import the product I get invalid file specified. I have the option to go back and thats it - no other info is provided.

I have the files uploaded to the proper folder on my server (verified through file manager)
Steps I follow
Under plugins and products I click manage products
Here I click add/import product
i choose to import the xml file from your server the string entered is:
./includes/xml/cpnav_vbstopformspam.xml
Hit import and I get that error.
I tried doing the upload from computer and get the same result

I am using vbulletin 3.8.4 this is the first plugin I am installing. I vreified the plugin/hook is turned on in vbulletin options.

Any help is appreciated!
Thanks
Chris

the cpnav is a .xml used by the product, it's not the product_*.xml file.
this is the same with every plugin release on vborg ..

a product is prefixed with product_* and ends with .xml

the navigation on the left is in the /xml directory as used as an include, and not as product.

Thats it - painfully obvious but since it was my first ever plugin :)
Thanks!
Chris
