I translated it in babblefish and WOW!  It does not look easy to do but the system looks strong.  I am going to give it a try!  Nice work...   O:)

You read the spanish version?

I'm doing it in english as well

I translated the spanish version.  Besides I know a little from my days in Miami.

I found one simple error in the files.  You need to add "?>" to the end of all php files that start with "<?php ".  I made the changes in my installation.

Installation complete.  Some questions:
1.  I installed the "httpbl" folder and its contents in the same folder as the smf folder (root directory).  Is this the correct location?
2.  Some of the information in the  "httpbl_configuration.php" file seemed redundant vs the data in the mod.  I assume this is no issue?
3.  Not sure if it is working or not.  Will like to know how to test it?
:)

No

If you read the official PHP manual from php.net they actually say that you should leave all your PHP files without the ending ?>

Actually the files with the mistake are the rest of them.

What "httpbl" folder or "httpbl_configuration.php" file are you talking about?

That was on the version 1.0 I did a year ago.

You need to install the new version 2.1 that I finished yesterday.

It is here:

http://www.snoopyvirtualstudio.com/trankos/portal/index.php?option=com_smf&Itemid=36&topic=306.0

And the tutorial for that version is not finished yet, but I have started it here:

http://www.snoopyvirtualstudio.com/tutoriales/index.php?estudio=httpBL_2

I suppose it will be finished tonight or tomorrow.

And be sure you read the english version.

Almost all my pages are in both languages.

"And be sure you read the english version."  Where is the fun in that?   :P

Running for five(5) hours now and two spammers were rejected.  The mod works great!!!   ;D

Glad to hear it.

In one of my forums is rejecting one every couple of ours (see screenshot)

Anyway the Customization Team had just pointed out 2 small problems in my code and I am going to correct them and release a new version 2.2 ASAP

I will keep you informed.

Hi snoopy. I installed the honey pot mod but the log isn't working as expected.

The date and time are showing but all the other columns (IP, Th. L., L. B. A., S., H., C. and Page) are blank.

Any idea what I did wrong?

We are talking too much about mod httpBL here, and this post should be kept only for mod Stop Spammer.

Once the Customization Team approve that mod there will be a proper place to do it, but in the mean time that's why I opened a section in my own forum for questions and answers about mod httpBL. This one:

http://www.snoopyvirtualstudio.com/trankos/portal/index.php?option=com_smf&Itemid=36&board=30.0

You can see there is some important information there about it as I have been already answering questions, and by the way, I have also answered your question there with the name "the log isn't working".

Cheers

Hopefully this will be the last time we talk about mod httpBL here in this post.

It has been already approved by SMF and you can find it now here:

http://custom.simplemachines.org/mods/index.php?mod=2155

So now it has its own support forum. Any questions about it please go to:

http://www.simplemachines.org/community/index.php?topic=366399.0

Thanks

I had a user log in this week.  The very first thing he did was to post an advertisement link.  I checked him with stop spam and he was ok.  I researched his email and IP address and found out that it belonged to a California location.  The Ad he posted said he was local in NYC.

He may be a possible spammer so it would be nice to have a check mark in the members list to force him to confirm his email address just like you do with members that are marked as spammers.  In other words add the option to allow possible spammers be verified manually.

Just to play devil's advocate on him possibly being a spammer due to the NYC vs. CA mismatch. The email might be from a CA ISP that he belongs to (I have number of email accounts that are hosted all over the US). The IPN is a separate issue since that is showing his current connection's gateway. Mine can change when I am on the road (as opposed to being at home) or on vacation. Not an absolute indication of being a spammer but there can be innocent explanations.

Hi!

I have a problem with spam accounts which don't have the IP logged. Because of that Stop Spammer can't check the IPs and they pass registration.
Is there any method to prevent registering accounts which don't have the IP logged? Or can you add some optional rule for this in a new version of Stop Spammer?

Thanks!

We have the same problem with mod httpBL.

In both mods I have used the same method SMF uses to find the visitor's IP, the normal $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR']

When we discovered this problem in mod httpBL I tried more ways of looking for the IP

You can find the full conversation started here:

http://www.snoopyvirtualstudio.com/trankos/portal/index.php?option=com_smf&Itemid=36&topic=309.0

And continued here:

http://www.simplemachines.org/community/index.php?topic=366399.0

As I have never yet had any visitor with hiding IP I don't know if this have worked. I am still waiting for the results of the people testing it.

If it works I will add this too to mod Stop Spammer as well

I do not think deviating from SMF's visitors IP system is the best solution.  If you use Bad Behavior's http:BL features and database logging that spammer should get caught!

Yes, I saw the PM you sent me about Bad Behavior, but didn't had time yet to check how they do it.

Looks really interesting. Need to check it ASAP. Thanks

In Reply #324 there was a discussion of the False Positive problem where a non-Spammer is being flagged just due to having  the same name as a spammer (in my case UserID Dave). I may be confusing the suggested fix in that reply with one from another message but in any case, I would like to suggest a possible solution (or support the one I think I remember). My fix is to add a field to the flags that highlight the name, email address, and IPN entries that says for THAT Field of an entry to ignore the match. In my case, for the user who is falsely having his userid made a red icon, be able to reset it to OK and say to not flag him again until there is an actual match on the email and/or IPN. Note that this is NOT referencing the global switch to not check a filed for ALL users but just a setting in the user's entry to say to ignore the field.

Thank You.

You can already turn off/on 'check username'.   ;)
