New version.  Changes

The following changes have been made:


  • Google AdSense has changed their crawler's User-Agent string to a string that matches a user agent blacklist entry. This would prevent the delivery of targeted ads to a page, and result in generic ads being displayed. The blacklist entry was temporarily removed pending communication with Google.
  • A PHP warning would be generated if any whitelist had blank lines in it. Blank lines are now stripped out of whitelist entries.
  • Added IP address sort in log for SMF 2.x
  • If a member gets flagged their username will be displayed in the log for SMF 2.x

...Also unless I am missing something I didn't see that documented on the MOD page. I generally expect all mod settings to be with a mods menu unless the mod explicitly states it modifies something else in its description....

Requested information added to the first post of this thread.

I stopped upgrading SMF 1.x since the announcement.  Though it works fine on the test servers.

Upgrade to SMF 2.0.x go to "ALL ENTRIES LOG" and click on "REMOVE ALL".  Or with SMF 1.x manually edit PhpMyAdmin.

Sounds like you need to run repair settings.  See SMF 1.x support area for how to use it...

That option is also found in SMF 1.x, thank you!

Repair settings eh. That's pretty weird, never had to do that before, server has remained the same. Is there any other way of rewriting that part of the code?

The SMF 1.1.x version has had no code changes to that part of the code in years.  Many other 1.1.x users have no problems.  The only issue I can think of is an error in your settings.php file.

There is no shame in running repair settings.  I have done it at least five times over the years.

Some times after an upgrade it does not help.  Then I look at the installer settings.php file and manually edit mine to include all the lines of code.

EDIT:  Looking at the code, another possibility is that data may be incorrect is the phpMyAdmin "db_prefix"settings.  The variable "badbehavior_log_table" should have a value in the format of your current "db_prefix" followed by "log_badbehavior".  If it is not, then calls like on line 14 of Banned.inc.php will produce your error.

This variable is set during the fist installation of the mod.  Once installed it is never changed.  So if it did not read the settings.php correctly during initial install or you changed your db prefix at one time or another it will produce the error.

One option will be to manually delete just the "badbehavior_log_table" variable then uninstall, followed by a reinstall of the mod in the hope the mod does the work for you.

Thanks for the detailed response. I installed the mod manually by parsing the code, though most of it was done for me already, that is, very few edits to main core files. The mod still works perfectly, but it produces many errors in the error log when it is enabled, so I have temporarily disabled my error logs so that it continues to fight the spam battle. Will let you know what transpires.

The easy fix will be to edit "badbehavior_log_table" in phpMyAdmin as described above.

If you prefer to edit code, assuming Settings.php is correct, you can always try the following...

Search for in "BadBehavior-SMF.php":
global $badbehavior_settings, $modSettings;

$badbehavior_settings['enable_badbehavior'] = $modSettings['enable_badbehavior'];
$badbehavior_settings['log_table'] = $modSettings['badbehavior_log_table'];


Replace with:
global $badbehavior_settings, $modSettings, $db_prefix;

$badbehavior_settings['enable_badbehavior'] = $modSettings['enable_badbehavior'];
$badbehavior_settings['log_table'] = $db_prefix . 'log_badbehavior';


Then the DB modsetting should be ignored.  Humm...  Maybe I will delete it in future versions.  8)

Thank you, I have changed to the code to your suggestion. If update you if things go wrong!

Please let me know if they go right too so I can add it to a future update.

New version.

BB for SMF changes

  • Six hours of improvements.

BB core changes:

  • Search engine screening by IP address is now more lenient; a failure to match a known IP address range no longer blocks the bot outright. This change is in response to a major search engine which is adding large numbers of IP address ranges faster than they can be tracked and added to Bad Behavior. Requests which don't match a known IP address range still go through normal screening, while requests which match will be passed immediately.
  • Search engine IP address screening is bypassed when the request originates from an IPv6 address, pending the addition of IPv6 subnet matching code.
  • Requests from the Baidu search engine now go through screening similar to Google and other major search engines. This will help to prevent illegitimate access from clients which falsely claim to be the Baidu search engine.
  • Some URL blacklist strings have been removed due to the possibility of their matching legitimate user input (e.g. in a site search phrase).

How do we go about installing these new changes? I parse all my mods, rather than go through the auto parser. Could you let us know what to edit new?

I know you have a custom THEME.  So with a custom theme edit for version 1.1.13, all you need to do is replace the following files:


  • Sources - Copy over the whole folder from he mods root director.
  • BadBehavior-Admin.php  -  The version in  the mods root directory is for version 2x, the version in the mod's "Sources" directory is for SMF 1.1.x.  Copy the correct version to   "Sources/"
  • BadBehavior-SMF.php  -  The version in  the mods root directory is for version 2x, the version in the mod's "Sources/bad-behavior/" directory is for SMF 1.1.x.  Copy the correct version to   "Sources/bad-behavior/"
  • BadBehavior.english.php or spaninsh and etc "as required" - Install in "Themes/your_theme/languages/"

I hope I got it all..

Just to understand this better, no changes were made to the template or SMF core source files right? If that's the case, I will simply overwrite all the mod files with the new ones in the package.

Yes.  Just make sure you pick the correct ones for your version of SMF.  Look at package manager for what goes where.
