Stop Spammer

[cassb]

Something may be amiss with the install of the mod, though I'm not the coder.  In a perfect install...the option to select an Admin account is not available.  How you were able to select your account (if you're an Admin) is beyond me.

Yeah -- well I just went to the members page and selected all and hit the "Check" link and voila.  :-)

[busterone]

I locked myself out of my forum because I accidentally checked the box for my account and then ran "Check" to check all accounts for spammers.  Apparently the request didn't go through, but in the meantime now all accounts are locked waiting for Admin approval, including mine.  How can I restore my account?

Thanks!

You did not say which version of SMF you are using so I will post for both of them. In your host's control panel, go to phpmyadmin and run the following query for your username.   replace yourusername below with your actual username
1.1.x

Code Select Expand

UPDATE smf_members SET is_activated = 1 WHERE memberName = 'yourusername';

for 2.0

Code Select Expand

UPDATE smf_members SET is_activated = 1 WHERE member_name = 'yourusername';

That will activate your admin account. Then you can log in to your forum and approve all the rest.
What version of stop spammer do you have installed?

I'm on version "Powered by SMF 1.1.11".   Thank you, that SQL did it for me.  :-)

Now, I'm back to the original problem, where I'm trying to run a spammer check on about 150 people who registered but are not approved yet.  My guess is that most are spammers.  But when I check them in the Manage Members screen and then click on the Check These Members button, they all get the status of "Suspect: This member couldn't be checked.  Check now."  Maybe I'm not even using Stop Spammer?  It's been so long since I installed it, I can't remember what the name was now.  lol  Maybe it was called "Stop Forum Spam"?

Edit:  Wait, I found the zip file I used to install the Stop Spammer add-on.  It was StopSpammer_v2_3.zip.  So maybe it's pretty old?  Regardless... it doesn't seem to be working any more.

Edit #2: I uninstalled and reinstalled the Stop Spammers mod and it works now!  yay  I also updated SMF to 1.1.12 as well.  All is good now, thanks!

[busterone]

Yes, you had an old version that had the "yellow bug"  See about 20 or more pages back.
Glad it's now working for you.   

[Kindred]

you should have updated SMF to version 1.1.13

[busterone]

Good catch, I missed that. Indeed, 1.1.12 needs updating, unless it is a typo.

[Wizzlefits]

Prolly a typo, cause he just upgraded from 1.1.11.

@cassb

Sorry I didn't see your post earlier. The yellow bug was the reason why we stopped using the version 2.3 of this mod more than a year and a half ago.

I suppose you have it sorted now, but just in case you can see more info here:

http://www.simplemachines.org/community/index.php?topic=283309.msg2995908#msg2995908

You should be using now SMF 1.1.13 and StopSpammer 2.3.9 (current versions of both).

Getting this error after install:

Code Select Expand

8: Undefined index: stopspammer_faildb_sub
File: /xxx/xxx/xxxxx/xxxxxxxx/xxxxxxxx/Sources/ManageRegistration.php
Line: 283

I get this error when enabling, or disabling your mod.

Line 283 of ManageRegistration.php:

Code Select Expand

Any suggestions?

Sorry I missed that one too. I will try this evening to find out why you are having this error.

In the mean time, just a couple of questions:

What version of SMF and what version of the mod are you using?

Are you still getting the error or you managed to sort it yourself since you reported it?

[GlitchPC]

Great mod!  Thank you...

Problem with one of my themes...see attached images.  The SMF Core Theme has no issues...see attached.  The Anecdota theme has issue...see attached.

I'm not much into coding but, can follow directions if anyone has a suggestion on how to fix the issue.  I'm not sure if I should be posting this issue here...or with the forum thread for this particular theme.

[snoopy_virtual]

@GlitchPC

You still didn't answer the questions I asked you a few days ago:

What version of SMF are you using?

What version of the mod?

Did you sorted yourself the another error you were reporting a few days ago?

And now that you report another problem with the Theme Anecdota I need to ask you another question:

What version of Anecdota Theme are you using?

For example you can see this forum I have here:

http://www.snoopyvirtualstudio.com/miel/

In that forum I am using SMF 2.0 RC5, mod StopSpammer 2.3.9 and Anecdota RC4 and I have no problems at all.

I should have updated in that forum the Theme to the latest version Crip did last 12th of April for RC5, but I haven't bother yet because that's not a real forum (it's just a test for different things) but as I said, I haven't got any problems with the Theme.

So please tell us what versions you are using so we can try to help you.

And don't forget to tell us if you already sorted the another problem you had or not.

[snoopy_virtual]

You can see here what I mean.

That's the way I see that with Anecdota:

[GlitchPC]

@snoopy_virtual...thanks for the reply.

To answer your questions:

I'm using SMF 2.0 RC5, which was a full upgrade from SMF 1.1.13.
I'm using Stop Spammer 2.3.9.
I'm using Anecdota (2.0 RC5).

The earlier issue I had was fixed by updating file permissions then re-installing this mod.  However, I still have some cosmetic errors as reported in my previous post.  I see yours is being displayed correctly but, mine is not.

[snoopy_virtual]

Don't understand it.

The only differences I see between your forum and mine are:

1.- Your forum is a full upgrade from 1.1.13 to 2.0 RC5 while mine was a new install in RC3 and then I did the small upgrades to RC4 and RC5

2.- You are using the latest version of Anecdota while I am still using the version for RC4

I don't see why any of those 2 differences can have anything to do with the difference in the display.

I will think about it a little more and I will tell you if I find out what's the problem.

[GlitchPC]

On that same note...

Just wanted you to know that I just upgraded to SMF 2.0 Gold.  Now, there are all sorts of issues with that particular theme...so, I deleted it.  Also, is this mod compatible with SMF 2.0 Gold?

[snoopy_virtual]

I have no idea, as I don't plan to upgrade any of my forums to 2.0 final just now.

For a more extensive explanation you can read the answer I gave here to the same question an another one of my mods:

http://www.simplemachines.org/community/index.php?topic=366399.msg3071573#msg3071573

[GlitchPC]

No prob...I guess I'll just wait and see.  No worries, mate.

Anyhow...thanks for all the help.  Now...back to the grind. 

[busterone]

It installed and is working well on 2.0.   

[GlitchPC]

snoopy_virtual...

Just to let you know...I just installed the latest version of Anecdota for use with SMF 2.0 Gold.  I'm still having the same issue I  was having when I made this post:   http://www.simplemachines.org/community/index.php?topic=283309.msg3070302#msg3070302

I know you're probably pretty busy...but, if you get the chance...can you take a look to see if you can figure out what's happening?

Here's the HTML associated with that particular section of the page:

I'll keep my fingers crossed...hoping you have a stroke of genius...and figure it out.


Thanks, again...

[snoopy_virtual]

That's exactly the same code I have in mine so the only place I can think it may be different is in the css file.

Can you look inside the folder /Themes/Anecdota/css/ and attach here the file index.css so I can compare it with mine?

[GlitchPC]

Okay...here's the css...attached
