Bad Behavior for SMF mod

[butchs]

Admin/ Configuration/ Bad Behavior

[Augster]

Bump.

Okay, I forgot the "secret squirrel" handshake to get me access to the "secret admin section" 

Is it really that hard to describe "go to this link, click on that button, select that option.... and voila!"?  It would really help me self troubleshoot to get an idea of the steps to invoke the Admin panel...

[butchs]

Click on Admin menu, then click on the Configuration menu then click on the Bad Behavior menu.

Support for the basic use of SMF is NOT part of this thread.  If that is what you need then go here.

[Augster]

Hey now, don't get all jumpy and nanny on me!

1) Your response did not show up after refreshing the thread over two days, but now suddenly I see a response before my bump.  I gave it plenty of time allowing for the fact that we are all busy and can't respond immediately to every question that arises.  Still scratching my head why I didn't see any responses before...

2) Trying to find the right forum for support for your mod or any mod is absolutely not specified anywhere!  Even on the download page here for your mod.  I tried searching for several days in between my attempts to self-troubleshoot.  So please, cut people some slack as there is no "standardized" method or FAQ on where to go for help.  And I'm certainly no a n00b on forums (though for SMF, yes).  Not only that, but this thread is apparently in regards to the BAD BEHAVIOR MOD, so how is anyone supposed to know that the issue I'm experiencing may potentially NOT specific to Bad Behavior but to SQL?  Seriously.

[Kindred]

every mod distributed on our mod site has a support thread linked from the mod's download page....

What specifically do I need to do to make this error go away?:  Fatal error: require_once() [function.require]: Failed opening required '/hermes/bosweb26b/b647/ipg.judithbarsicom/forum/Sources/bad-behavior/BadBehavior-SMF.php' (include_path='.:/usr/local/lib/php-5.2.17/lib/php') in /hermes/bosweb26b/b647/ipg.judithbarsicom/forum/Themes/pink-art/index.template.php on line 368

I am guessing here since I do not know what version SMF you have.  But here goes nothing:

1.  The path to "$sourcedir" is incorrect in "Settings.php".
2.  The correct version of "BadBehavior-SMF.php" is not located in your "/Sources/bad-behavior/" folder.  Check out "package-info.xml" for the proper location.

[Celia N. Foster]

I have the latest, 2.0.2

[butchs]

Then I guessed correctly.  The second line in your "BadBehavior-SMF.php" file should not read "BadBehavior-SMF.php  - for SMF 1.1.x -  PHP template for Bad Behavior mod".  If so copy the other file (in the root zip folder) to your directory.

[butchs]

New version 1.5.8 with updated 2.2.1 core, changes are:

• Some additional known spammers have been identified and blocked.
  
• IPv6 support has been improved, including new support for IPv6 whitelisting.
  
• New configuration options are available for web sites running behind reverse proxies/load balancers and third party content distribution networks such as Akamai and CloudFlare. These options ensure that Bad Behavior can correctly screen requests when operating in these environments.
  
• Search engines are screened faster and more accurately, improving search engine metrics such as Google Page Speed and YSlow and virtually eliminating the possibility of false positives for search engines. (Bad Behavior still blocks most malicious traffic originating from search engine providers' networks.)
  
• Blackhole lists other than http:BL have been removed as unsuitable for sites running Bad Behavior. Because of its comment spammer tracking, http:BL remains the only blackhole list Bad Behavior uses. (It is disabled by default; enable it in your settings if you wish to use it.)
  
• Bad Behavior's whitelisting feature has been completely revamped. Whitelists are much easier to maintain.
  
• Across the board performance improvements have been added.
  
• Messaging displayed to blocked requests has been significantly improved for clarity and to facilitate issue resolution.
  
• On platforms where database logging is available, Bad Behavior would sometimes continue to log even when the logging setting was turned off. This has been fixed.
  
• When a site enabled the Reverse Proxy option when it was not actually needed, Bad Behavior would sometimes fail to acquire the correct IP address for incoming requests. Bad Behavior's code to detect this situation and acquire the correct IP address has been improved.
  
• Numerous additional minor improvements.
  
• Donation page updated to show support from SMF users.

Updated my live forum without any problems, Thanks.

All the errors are originating from the follow code;

Code Select Expand


// Bad Behavior Start
'badbehavior' => array(
'label' => $txt['badbehavior'],
'file' => 'BadBehavior-Admin.php',
'function' => 'badbehavior_admin_init',
'custom_url' => $scripturl . '?action=admin;area=badbehavior;sa=settings',
'permission' => array('admin_forum'),
'icon' => 'modifications.gif',
'subsections' => array(
'badbehavior_settings' => array($txt['badbehavior_settings_title']),
'report_all' => array($txt['badbehavior_report_all_title']),
'report_permit' => array($txt['badbehavior_report_permit_title']),
'report_denied' => array($txt['badbehavior_report_denied_title']),
'badbehavior_about' => array($txt['badbehavior_about_title']),
),
),
// Bad Behavior End


[butchs]

I guess you have a custom SMF 2.0.x theme and manually installed the mod? 

Check your index.php file and make sure the action array is defined:

Code Select Expand


// Bad Behavior Start
'badbehavior' => array('BadBehavior-SMF.php', 'badbehavior'),
// Bad Behavior End]
 

[Kindred]

what that usually means is that a manual installation neglected to add the text strings to modifications.english.php (replace with your language instead of english)

[wolfetundra]

I verified the correct coding is placed within the index.php and within modifications.english.php in both templates (default and custom). I'm still throwing the codes.

[butchs]

For this mod, the language information for the admin menus are stored in the "/languages/BadBehavior.english.php" (or another language) file of the theme directory and the help text is installed from "modification_language.xml".

[wolfetundra]

Seeing how, for some reason, that made absolutely no sense to me ...
Can you please explain how to correct the errors? I followed the install instructions and even verified twice that the codings were present and correct.

[butchs]

If you want to get a good explanation you will need to put some effort in explaining your problem.  Instead of copying and pasting a long post with no details you could have provided basic informaiton like your SMF version and what you did.  I work long hours and only have a few minutes per day to provide this free support.  So far I guessed that you have SMF 2.0, you have a custom theme and you did not properly install the mod in the custom theme.  By the way I have stated many times that I provide support for the default theme not custom themes.  The above is the reason why.

Kindred said that this issue occurs when the text strings for the admin screen are missing.  He assumed that they are in modifications.english.php but for this mod they are in in other files.  You need to complete your manual installation and copy the language, css and all other files to the correct directories as per "package-info.xml" then make the changes in php as per "modification_language.xml".

There are on-line resources that read and provide a list of changes that need to be made for modifications.  I am sorry but I do not have a link.

Time is up, gotta go to work.

[Kindred]

actually, the smf mod site has a mod parser for manual installations built in to the mod download page

[Xarcell]

I have install bad behavior. I have checked to enable it. I enter my http:BL Access Key(copied & pasted). However, it says "Project Honey Pot is offline!".

I don't know if this has anything to do with project Honeypot going down for a few days and my access key no longer works, or what. Any ideas wht it's not working?

At honeypot, it says access key is working.
