Will you be updating this for 1.1.4?

I was just coming here to ask this too.

ronread

Me do. Seems damn useful! But with 1.1.4 had no option to instal in Packages after uploading...

BigBen

I have a new version of SMF, and I get: The package you are trying to download or install is either corrupt or not compatible with this version of SMF.

Nutronic

I have version 0.1 of this and im running the latest SMF can you tell me how I can remove it as it doesn't have an uninstaller, can I just delete the files or do I have to go through everything and remove its references?

Im wanting to remove it cus guests have to login now, no other reason.

Hello,

You can get this to work for 1.1.4 by doing the following.

Download the package to your computer and unzip it.

Find package-info.xml and open it in any text editing software

Look for the 2 instances of 1.1.3 and add 1.1.4 after it, dont forget the comma between the two.

Make sure you put 1.1.4 after both 1.1.3 instances, they will be in the install and uninstall section.

Save the file.

Rezip this file with the other two in the package.

Upload into the package manager and apply the mod.

It should work, let us know if it doesnt.

...Always remember to make backups first.

I can confirm that this method works for installing with 1.1.4 and the mod works correctly.

This MOD is f*cking awesome! I had NO SPAM after installing him!

QuoteYou cannot download or install new packages because the Packages directory or one of the files in it are not writable!
problem. Can you please tell me what to do. I have chmod to 0777 but it still says that, using fireftp, any help would be welcome, thanks/

Works nicely on 1.1.4 without any changes before installing and it installed very smoothly. Only kink is after installation I had to manually copy and paste the $txt variable to the language files so it would show up.  Thanks for writing it!

i've got the mod installed and i think it works pretty good, but every now and then, i find a spam bot post, with live links, such as what you see in the image below.



any clue why this happens?

the code they wrote was simple:

Hello,

You can get this to work for 1.1.5 by doing the following.

Download the package to your computer and unzip it.

Find package-info.xml and open it in any text editing software

Look for the 2 instances of 1.1.4 and add 1.1.5 after it, dont forget the comma between the two.

Make sure you put 1.1.5 after both 1.1.4 instances, they will be in the install and uninstall section.

Save the file.

Rezip this file with the other two in the package.

Upload into the package manager and apply the mod.

It should work, let us know if it doesnt.

(sorry for copying your post, i just upgraded to 1.1.5 and wanted this to work as it's so good,  the day it's been down i been getting loads of spam by guests grrrrrr)

Does this block all links by guests throughout the entire forum without exception, or is it possible to configure it in such a way that guests may post links in a particular sub forum?  I ask because I have one subforum where guests need to be able to post links (my forum is an rpg and there's a reciprocal advertising protocol involved).

I made this work on 1.6 by adding 1.6 in the xml

Tell me if I'm wrong, this only works on unregistered guest right.  The original you could setup a usergroup with no links, which I liked because I could make the starter members or new member not be able to leave links, I seem to get more fly by night members that register, leave a link to their or other site never to be seen again, I would set it up where after 10 posts they leave the group to one that will allow links.  Any thought on this?
Thanks

What you mean is "Anti Spam: prevents posting links by group".
This only blocks guest spammposters.

yeah I realized that I posted on the guest spam, I was able to get the Anti Spam to work on 2.04 except it wouldn't show the error message from error language file

Hello.

Back in 2006, user "wing" posted a message regarding manual implementation of the "No Spam by Guests" mod, and included his own, additional code for preventing new members with fewer than ten posts from having links in their messages.

I am running SMF version 1.1.7, and already have my forum set not to allow any posts by guests, so I don't really need the mod, itself.  I do, however, wish to implement the post-count-based limitation, and have tried that part of the code that was posted, but it didn't seem to have any effect when I logged in as a non-admin user with fewer than ten posts.

Should that code work in 1.1.7 without having to install the "No Spam by Guests" mod (which only goes up to 1.1.4), or is it dependent upon something that "No Spam by Guests" contains?

Franky, I'm surprised post-count-based link restriction is not a standard feature, and that I cannot find any mods here that implement it, other than the code I just mentioned above.  So many spambots, pornbots, and just general spammers register on forum sites just so they can post pictures and/or links in their messages right away that I can't imagine wanting to allow new, unproven users to post URLs.

Thanks!

P.S.:  I HAVE actually sent a PM with this question to that user, but realised, after sending the message, that his last activity date here was January of 2008, not 2009.  :(
