As an update to my previous post...

I got the mod working by disabling the ISBOT Mod :)

Thanks...and on behalf of my staff, they thank you for not having to use all their online time banning spammers :)

Thanks for the update tigrattack!

Trying to get this working on 3.8.4 and all I get is 'invalid file specified' when trying to import it in the AdminCP. Have uploaded the files a second time with no luck. Never had any previous versions of this file installed.

Any ideas?

Youre not importing the correct file then

Using the xml file in the root of the zip file :confused:

If youre importing product-vbstopforumspam.xml and its giving you that error, then I cant help as I cant reproduce your forum to get it to error.

Here's a short code to incorporate vbstopforumspam to the One-touch Ban and Clean hack.

You have to have vbstopforumspam and One-touch Ban and Clean already installed before performing the steps below.

As always, I am not to be held liable on any disaster to your data and/or forum settings so proceed at your own risk.

I also don't visit very often so those who understand PHP, please help others with their problems.

Instructions:

1. Sign-up for a Stop Forum Spam API key. Keep the key handy since you'll need it on step 5.
2. In AdminCP->Plug-ins & Products->Plugin Manger, look for Product : One-touch Ban & Spam Cleanup, and click Form Actions.
3. For easy editing, you need to copy the contents of the Plugin PHP Code field on to your favorite text editor (Notepad, TextMate, etc).
4. Almost towards the end of the script, look for:
   PHP Code:

   ---

   $message .= ($deletedthreads > 0) ? construct_phrase($vbphrase['onetouchspamban_threads_deleted'], $deletedthreads) : null; 


   ---

5. Above, add the following (note that you need to replace XXXXXXXXXXX with your API key from step 1 -- make sure that the key is inside the double quotes):
   PHP Code:

   ---

     /* Stop Forum Spam Routine - Start */ 
  /* http://www.stopforumspam.com/apis */ 
  $spammer = $vbulletin->db->query_first("SELECT username, ipaddress, email FROM ". TABLE_PREFIX . "user WHERE userid = $banuserid"); 
  // check to see if user was manually added (no ip)
  if (!empty($spammer['ipaddress'])) 
  {
      // specify your API key below
      $api_key="XXXXXXXXXXX"; 
      $url_parms="?username=". urlencode($spammer['username'])."&ip_addr=". $spammer['ipaddress']."&email=". urlencode($spammer['email'])."&api_key=".$api_key; 
      $url="http://www.stopforumspam.com/add.php".$url_parms; 
      $ret = file_get_contents($url); 
  } 
  /* Stop Forum Spam Routine - End */ 


   ---

6. Copy back the whole code to the Plugin PHP Code field and hit Save.
7. That's it! Now every time you do a One-touch Ban and Clean, you also add that user to the Stop Forum Spam database for everyone to use. :)

I hope this helps.
