I can explain this as simply as possible.. If I do it & implement I guarantee it.
If I do it and you implement it its a crap shoot.

I've tried your solution: adding myself the php.ini file with the line safe_mode = off in it
but unfortunatelly it didn't work ... still the same error:
"Your host couldn't make connection to the DB, Try again later
If it continue see Topic of Support and search Known Issues"
I've added the file in:
- forum rootfolder
- sources
- forum/Themes/default/
but no luck
Another suggestion because I could realy use the mod ...

My first suggestion will be to try to contact the admin of your server.

He/she must know your server configuration and could help you out trying to make cUrl work for you.

Anyway I know it's usually difficult to contact server admins, so in the mean time here is another suggestion:

To contact the database inside SFS this mod is using the function fetch_web_data()

This function is not a native PHP one. It's a function defined by SMF inside the file Subs-Package.php and it tries to get the contents of a URL using different PHP methods, depending on the server configuration.

That's why M-DVD has used it for his mod, because it's very general and usually it works in a lot of different servers.

Anyway, apparently this function is not working for you, so I think you should try with other PHP functions instead.

For example try with the function file_get_contents()

To do that, open the file Subs-Members.php inside the Sources folder.

More or less at the end of the file you will find the function checkDBSpammer():


// This function Check Spammer in DB - MOD StopSpammer
function checkDBSpammer($check_ip, $check_name, $check_mail, $test = false)


Inside this function look for the lines:


// Try to download.
require_once($sourcedir . '/Subs-Package.php');
$down_ok = fetch_web_data($remoteXML);


Replace them with this:


// Try to download.
//require_once($sourcedir . '/Subs-Package.php');
$down_ok = file_get_contents($remoteXML);


Now look for the function checkreportMembers() (it's just underneath the another one in the same file Subs-Members.php)

Inside it look for the lines:


if ($report)
fetch_web_data('http://www.stopforumspam.com/add', 'username=' . $row['memberName'] . '&ip_addr=' . $row['memberIP'] . '&email=' . $row['emailAddress'] . '&api_key=O0Ys3RHtDZPMfB');


Replace them with this:


if ($report)
file_get_contents('http://www.stopforumspam.com/add', 'username=' . $row['memberName'] . '&ip_addr=' . $row['memberIP'] . '&email=' . $row['emailAddress'] . '&api_key=O0Ys3RHtDZPMfB');


Save the file and upload it to your server.

If this doesn't work either let us know.

There are a lot of ways of getting content from a URL and maybe you can try some more until you find one that is working for you.

Kidding?

About what?

THe PD joke above.. no way that is real

Of course it's a joke, and a very old one. The first time I heard that joke was 20 years ago.

And anyway, you know that when I'm not talking seriously I'm always joking.  8)

I think the mod works fine, but its very irritating that the icons in the member admin area do not seem to work.  perhaps becuase I am not using the default theme

Possibly. In this case, you only need copy images to the folder

/Themes/default/images/icons

No need to edit any files.

Also, you must enable this icon in:

Admin > Members > Registration > Setting

and enable Show Link "More Info" for All Member

Ok, i will check.

This difference might be in users "waiting for approval" (this includes the spammers that have been disabled).

Have you checked if in this case the numbers match?

Sorry for delay.

Have you registered the user from the ACP(bad) or from the ?action=register(correct)?

Way ACP, the MOD don't check (because, isn't necesary)

Before installing the MOD, do you have members waiting for approval?

If you don't have, should be that "for some strange reason" the counter members's isn't zero.

Go to phpmyadmin, table smf_setting and search for: unapprovedMembers and set to 0

And translation for this tow things.

1. $txt['stopspammer_faildb'] = 'If the Connection Fail with DB Anti SPAM...'; --> $txt['stopspammer_faildb'] = 'Ако връзката с DB Anti SPAM  не e успешна ...';

2.  $txt['stopspammer_fail03'] = 'Member Approval and show icon for check'; --> $txt['stopspammer_fail03'] = 'Одобряване на потребител и показва иконата за проверка';

Bob Mueller

I wanted to add my thanks and appreciation for this mod - it's saved me a lot of time just in the last couple of days.

I do have a couple of questions:
If I reject a user based on the report from SFS, does that rejection also submit them as a hit to the SFS database?

If I reject a user, does that (or can it) also ban them? My main interest is in banning the IP address they registered from, to prevent someone else at that IP from registering.
