Have an unused one if you need it

Thank you guys for the help! :up:

could use a key ForceHSS :)

So you place the contents of the uploads>admincp folder into yoursite/admincpfolder or everything contained in the uploads folder into your root directory?

Sorry I am a little fuzzy on the instructions and was getting the same error as the gentlemen earlier.

go to your FTP take the files from the glowhost admincp folder and drag the files that are in glowhost admincp folder into the folder named admincp in your root directory. take the files from the glowhost includes folder and drag the files that are in the glowhost includes folder and drag them into the folder named includes in your root directory. then go to you Admincp Panel of vBullentin. go to Plugins & Products > Manage Products > Add/Import Product......download the xml file named product-glowhost.xml which can be found on your hard drive which you received when you downloaded and unzipped this mod

Nobody help me

here you go

pm me your skype name

I'm after updating the plugin and now lots of my newer members are -
unable to post
unable to create threads
unable to make accounts

Is there anything I should be aware of?

The error they see is a blank white screen.

PM sent to you

I already added u to Skype but you need to confirm

I Have the same thing (same on both my forums)

I must reiterate that it is a MAJOR OVERSIGHT that this mod circumvents the moderator permissions to permanently delete ALL threads/posts by a user.

There was a case on my forum where a new mod accidentally removed all of a users posts and I couldn't get them back!

Let me try to explain it a little better.

- GlowHost_-_Spam-O-Matic_v2.1.0_VB4
+ upload
+ glowhostspamomatic_Deutsch_Sie_1.0.1.xml
+ readme


The upload folder contains the contents that need to go into the forum. The contents contained are and admincp folder and an includes folder. You can do one of two things, but the easiest thing to do is to right click the uploads folder and change it to the name of your forums folder. This folder name can be different for everyone, because most do not name their forum "Forums". Example

- This is the Root Folder for your forums probably named the name of your URL
+ This could be a folder for another section of your forum such as Joomla, etc.
+ Forums "This could be named differently" As I said not everyone uses "Forums"

Let's say that your forum is about cars, then you might name your forum directory cars. That's all up to the individual when they install the forum. Now what you do is change the name of the "upload folder" to cars, but if your forum is "Forums" then you would change the name to forums. Now when you FTP you would drop the upload folder that you changed the name of to the ROOT which is one level up from the cars or forums folder. By doing that the admincp folder and includes folder of S-O-M will drop the contents of each folder in the admincp folder and includes folder within the forum folder. NOTE: this will only work if you are one listing higher in the directory tree.

The other two folders are uploaded in the products & plugins area of vB. Obviously not the Duetsch unless you need that laguage.


English version of XML file that you will most likely use.

I hope that explanation made it a little more clear. You could follow the long path by uploading the contents from the admincp folder into the admincp folder and so on, but that is an explanation for people that are not familiar with directory and directory structure. Use that routine if you do not understand the information I just provided.

I would not want a moderator having that kind of permission. Not everyone can you trust with that kind of authority.


Sounds like you made a wrong selection when you tried to make a change to a post or user.

I can't able to see "Public Statistics", but only the title and there is nothing beneath it....any idea?

THANK YOU

You will once you have a spammer

Restore from a backup

Or just get rid of that moron moderator.

Thanks, yeah I recently have 4 blocked spammers......:up:

Installed it and it works great... kinda. I disabled the spam-o-matic easy clean up feature because it's server intensive and times out on my forum right now. However, I disabled the spam-o-matic easy clean up feature, but the option still shows up in my inline mod actions box

What does it do? Does it do anything even though the system is disabled?

I' getting a error message when I use the
Users > Search for users > List New Registrations > UserID > Quick User Links > Spam-O-Matic - Remove and ban user

Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in [path]/admincp/glowhostspamomatic.php on line 108

Is this supposed to work like this?
How can I correct this error message?

Problem:
I always received the error message above when I used the Remove and Ban user.
Manage Products > Add/Import Product always failed when upgrading to the newer version.

Solution:
I checked for any "old" files left from Version 1 and deleted them.
I copied the existing Akismet API Key & StopForumSpam API Key to notepad
I uninstalled the mod from Plug-Ins and Products > Manage Products
I manually deleted each of the files from each of the folders on the server.
I manually uploaded the file ./includes/xml/product-glowhostspamomatic.xml
I manually uploaded each file into the appropriate server folder
I used AdminCP for Plug-in products > Manage products > Add/Import
I used the uploaded file path > ./includes/xml/product-glowhostspamomatic.xml

Conclusion:
This time (for the first time) the Spam-O-Matic imported correctly with no errors.
I pasted the API keys back into the Settings > Options > GlowHost - Spam-O-Matic
Modified any options in Options > GlowHost - Spam-O-Matic and saved with no issues.
GlowHost - Spam-O-Matic appears to be working correctly now with no errors or issues.

hello

This mod had been fantastic and worked perfectly for months now preventing tons of potential spammers. All of a sudden spammers are managing to register and I am getting the message below in the logs, any ideas please.

Unable to connect to StopForumSpam.com. This is probably due to some temporary problems on their website: Unable to check. User passed to vBulletin registration system per your settings at 'StopForumSpam:

Considering how you are limited to 20,000 queries per-day with StopForumSpam, maybe you just ran out of queries, and then the mod itself kicked in to deal with the overflow.

Thanks for advice VB Results appreciate it. My forums is not that busy so not the case.

I am desperate for help here, your spamming mod the I am running in conjunction with this one is really helping but I really need this working again urgently.

If you are on a shared host with a shared IP, others could be using StopForumSpam so it is possible. I'm able to query their database just fine;

Is there anything I can check my end in my own VB to see why it suddenly cant connect to stop forum spam website

Wasn't there a thread way back up there about changing the default URL that it uses to check stopforumspam's database? I remember editing my code, per the instructions, to change where it communicates.

I assume this was already done for us in the current version. Are you running the current version?

Just a possible theory as to why you are having this issue.

Best regards
Rhody

Hello rhody401

thanks for info and suggestion. I am running current version and it was working perfectly up until 2 days ago so not sure what happened

I'm running SOM 2.0.2 on VB4.2PL3. To update to the current version, can I just upload it straight up and overwrite all the existing files, or do I have to uninstall the old version?

Over write all files then install new xml

Help please guys

What would suddenly cause this mod to be unable to connect to the stopforumspam website to check potential spammers any ideas PLEASE

I would seriously try Spambot Stopper if you haven't already.

Pretty sure it takes affect before Spam-O-Matic kicks in and will atleast block all the automated bots.

Though currently I'm having issues with Spambot Stopper posting to a thread but that's an option that can be disabled
(probably just an issue with my own forum )

thanks for suggestion I am running the "You and Spam" mod which is brilliant and help catch most of the spammers but I was running both and it was great.

Suddenly this mod is unable to connection the the Stop forum Spam server and I have no idea why.

My website hosting company says they have made no changes on their side but I am not sure about this.

what would cause this issue of connection problems

There are some changes in the XML not sure if they are in the one above if not there is a fix a few pages back not sure how many good bit I think

yea Spambot Stopper and You and Spam (renamed again? :) )
both seem to do the same thing.

Not sure why it can't contact - my Glowhost logs show it's still connecting.

Can you ping their servers?

Thanks ForceHSS

I read back about 20 pages and found mention of same problem but no mentioned of how they fixed it. I sent a PM to the person who had the problem and hopefully they will confirm how they resolved it.

Not sure if this has been added to the updated one so check first when you edit the file
