I'm getting the same error. Even put an updated file into forum root and still the same. Any thoughts?:confused:

Hello
I get this error in my vbulletin, Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in [path]/admincp/glowhostspamomatic.php on line 108

Thanks in advance for an nice anti spammer program.

No one seems to know how to fix this error:

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

I don't know PHP to be able to look at the PHP file and figure out which value it is looking for.

What about the author? Is this a supported mod? It has been some time since the question was asked.

This should fix it -- replace the admincp/glowhostspamomatic.php file with the one attached.

It's been less than a week since you first posted about this, for a mod that you are getting free of charge, and you're complaining about not getting support?!?!

You can safely ignore that warning, it isn't even an error, as it has no effect. Given not many people are complaining about that warning its likely something in your (and their) setup, more precisely another product/add-on is causing a mild conflict. Disable your other products one at a time until you find the culprit.

Yes, I'm complaining. Gonna do something about that? Didn't think so.
It's listed as a supported mod, if it isn't it should be listed as unsupported, so we know not to expect any support for issues like this that arise.

Vbresults may have a solution. Whether it works or not, it's a lot more productive then trial and error removal of other mods that I need. When/if I find the culprit using your "method", what then? Disable a mod I need? That makes no sense. Your post is a waste of bandwidth.

Welcome to my ignore list.

Nelson

I deleted several users using the mod with your replacement mod and the error no longer comes up!!

Looks like success! Thank you sir!!

Just for curiosity sake, what did you change in the new file that made the difference?

Should bring this mod to vb5 :)

will it work with vb5 too? i tried but show error

Fatal error: Call to a member function show_errors() on a non-object

I just did an instal and didn't notice what to do with vblang_glowhostspamomatic210_ro.xml

Unless you want the mod showing up in romanian, don't do anything.

Sounds like a good option to me!

It seems to have stopped posting problems dead! GREAT!
I am still having successful registrations though. Most registrations await email confirmation. Should this mod be combined with a country block mod? The registrations are virtually all from China and Viet Nam

How are others dealing with this.

I agree. Be sure to clear all cookies, history, and cache when testing.

Admincp > settings > user banning options

Mmmmm.....

I don't see "User Banning Options". I wonder if I screwed up the GlowHost instal!

On another look in the stats, GlowHost is missing there too!

The user banning is in vbulletin. In the Admincp usually the first option is settings. Mine is a couple down because of a couple of mods. Open Settings and select "Options" then scroll down the list to "User banning options"

You may ban e-mails and ip address. Be careful not to ban one that is legitimate. You may also ban an entire block by using a "*" (without quotes) as the last number.

That warning actually had a big underlying problem. It encased a large amount of code necessary for deletion to work, and when that warning line broke, all the code under/inside it broke too, which is why it didn't work for Nelson and the others reporting the issue.

Another product did not cause this conflict, and the reason you aren't experiencing this problem is because this problem was introduced in a recent release. You probably didn't upload the latest files to the correct directory and inadvertently averted this problem.

That foreach statement and it's closing brace -- there was no reason for it to be there, probably set in by accident.

Hey folks would appreciate help on this. Thank you

Those are "bad words" not "bad partial matches."

...or am I misunderstanding your question?

Isn't there a way to automatically block a post even using partial keywords from the list? That's my concern.

In your example, [url=something] should trigger a moderation provided you have:

[url

...in the bad words list.

A user typing something.com would not trigger a moderation because you would need:

something.com

...to be in the bad word list exactly written as you'd like to be moderated.

There is no partial match support outside of the [url and [img tags

Yea but the .com for example won't work if it were something.com

Can you update the mod to allow that, or disallow links (with or without url) for certain members / usergroups with less than X forum posts?

Thanks

Why not put {.com} in your bad word list then rebuild post cache to update all posts

I only want the list applied to users with 100 posts or less.

Yes I noticed that when I took a quick diff of the two files to see what the difference was.

After seeing your changes I agree another mod isn't causing the problem, but the reason why my site isn't getting the messages, and likely many others aren't as well, is that my site do not delete accounts instead we simple ban them indefinitely instead.

I have been running this program for a few days now, and it has stopped the posting problems. I have noticed one real interesting thing. I have a spammer which I have deleted at least 4 times with glowhost and he is still coming back! Why would that be? He is using the same I.P.. Why would he not be blocked after one, two, three, + deletions?
I would have thought that after using the Spam-o-matic deletion that I.P. should not be allowed to re register.
He uses the same username and I.P. each time.
NultAccunny 137.117.68.10

I can't believe it! Check the time on these posts! NultAccunny has already re registered!

Do you have spam-o-matic ban usernames enabled? I think it's disabled by default because of all the registration problems it causes with false positives.

ie - they can get a new IP faster than you can ban them
enabling ban username should shut it down for this username - but it will be a major hassle for other new users trying to register

Best thing would be to enable all new registrations to be approved by mod for a few days - and wait it out - maybe he'll get bored
and ofc be sure to also install good timer-based-registration mod like Spambot Stopper

Try this to ban his host
www.vbulletin.org/forum/showthread.php?t=268208
If that does not work try this and put @emailhost.com in the email banning section so if he uses hotmail it would be @hotmail.com and @hotmail.co.uk
www.vbulletin.org/forum/showthread.php?t=294164

The use is using the same IP each time! That is what I don't understand, I would have thought the program would have submitted the IP as a spammer and not allowed that IP to be used on my site or any other.

I have the vbulletin email verification on.

I may have to consider another vbulletin plug in to work with this one, but I don't like to have too many plugins installed because I have had problems and I have limited knowledge:(
The nature of my site would allow me to simply ban all IPs from certain countries.

By the way, he's back. He shows as registered, and leaves a signature. If he tries to post, spamomatic stops that.

This program will not ban his ip you need to add his ip to the banned list in options if you add the plugins I posted above they will help he won't be back

You didn't answer the question about which blocking options you have enabled for spam-o-matic. If you are unsure take a screen shot showing the complete options page for spam-o-matic, with any ids for askiment, etc, blacked out.

This might help you. Don't remove the user. If you remove the user then vB can't help prevent the new registration.

Set SOM to:

Moderate post

Ban User

In vB don't allow duplicate e-mail addresses. If the IP is a bad IP then ban it in vB. You can also not allow signatures in vB under usergroup permissions. Then create a forum for banned users and don't delete the user, but move the post to that forum. You may keep the forum hidden in forum permissions if you like.

To upgrade this product I would just overwrite the files in the FTP then allow over write with the xml correct? Also will I still have all my pre-sets saved or will they be gone? Thanks! :)

Hello.
I have a problem when I use (in admincp) : Spam-O-Matic - Remove and ban user

This is a good mod.

You can remove the link in the settings if you take the time and look over them then you would of seen this

I really DIDN'T notice that when I posted but I would change it up a bit if I released the mod. I still DO feel it's slightly malicious and that affects the reputation of the service slightly

I installed this program earlier this week, and I seem to have new members having a problem with the return key on their keyboard not working when posting. Makes for some long paragraphs!

Where should I look?

Thanks

I'm just a bit confused about the API key from stopforumspam.com and the one from Akismet. Do they do the same thing? Is one superior to the other?

The following quote makes it seem that both would be good:

Spammers that make it past the StopForumSpam and Auto-Moderation will be checked against the Akismet service.

In other words, are we duplicating a service that might add complexity and increase chance of conflicts? If we use both, are we significantly enhancing our spam barriers?

Thanks.
