Bad Behavior for SMF mod

[stylusss]

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

Thanks Butchs

New core version.   Changes as follows:

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. A logic error which prevented these checks from ever running has been fixed.

No changes were made to installation scripts.

Trying to install this mod, I get an error that it cannot install to my theme. My forum members just voted to use this theme so I am kinda married to it.

It's called "Green Bean". http://custom.simplemachines.org/themes/index.php?lemma=2348

I'm running SMF 2.0.2

The error I get says "Test Failed" and this occurred for two different "add before" instances. (I have no idea what that means.)

I am not proficient enough to manually install the mod. I put my level of proficiency at "knows just enough to get in serious trouble". 

I do follow directions well, but most tech support assumes a level of understanding of certain applications, abbreviations and jargon with which I am not familiar.

You will need to do a manual installation with a custom theme.

Hi Guys,
I was using SMF2.02 and all was going good Bad Behavior was doing its job and cutting SPAM to a managable level, I upgraded to SMF 2.03 and now Bad Behavoir isn't working anymore, it is installed fine accoring to the packet manager, I even managed to upgrade to the latest version (1.5.15) without issue but the configuration for it seems to be missing, it does not seem to be working (I am experienceing a slow painfull death at the hands of the SPAMMERs, I kid you not!!!!). Is everyone else having the same problem or is it just me. where should I look to figure out what is wrong if it is just me?
Thanks heaps in advance.

Uninstalling the mod disables the mod.  You have to re-enable the mod.  Click Enable Bad Behavior in the admin page.

I've got a question considering the mod. Is it possible to make an exclusion for certain user?
The problem is on my forum quite many users use dynamic IP pools and may access the forum from range of IPs that were also used by spammers and blacklisted. Is it possible to bypass the check not only for IPs but for certain list of registered users? Or is it principally possible to implement this as a feature?

[butchs]

Yes yes and yes...  See FAQ's in 1st post in this thread.

1. You can assign that member to a member group and white list the group. 
2. All assigned member groups will be white listed as long as the members are logged in or their ip does not change.  The latter is per SMF.  SMF saves the last used ip address.
3. You can white list an ip range, url and url...

It's all in the FAQ's...

[Iron Bug]

Sorry, I didn't notice the FAQs. But I still have a question: are the IPs for whitelisted users checked together with their usernames or they're just common whitelisted IPs for anyone that connects to the forum?
I got the worst case when many users use wide dynamic ranges (phone connection), the addresses always change and there're many bots using that ranges as well. And I'm afraid that I will have to write some special IP checking extension for my own needs.

Can't find that???
Admin>Config has only Miscellaneous and Akismet Span Blocking in it

is it supposed to be there or elsewhere?

Sorry if I am being stupid.

Separate issue... But why did you uninstall the mod when you upgraded to 2.0.3? The upgrade from 2.0.x to 2.0.y  installs as a patch/package... And does not require you to touch any mods.

I only uninstalled it when it stopped working when I went from 2.0.2 to 2.0.3.

[Kindred]

there should have been no stop....   I installed the 2.0.3 patch with no failure on 4 forums (all with the bad behavior mod installed)

I wish it hadn't trust me as the SPAM I get is not much fun!

e.g.

The following topics are awaiting approval:

50x ugg boots outlet
perhaps some viagra etc

I am sure you get the idea. Grrrrrr

Admin/ Configuration/ Bad Behavior

If it is not there something went wrong with the reinstall.

Assign your member groups to the whitelist and they will be ok as long as they log in.

That is not there.

Maybe, but I think it went wrong when I upgraded the forum from 2.0.2 to 2.0.3, everting else went fine but bad behaviour seems to have got broken, uninstalling 1.5.13 and reinstalling 1.5.15 seems to have made no difference :-(

Just tried changing the theme in case that caused the problem, uploaded the theme directory from the SMF install to my sever renamed Themes to Themes_mod and the one that comes in the SMF install Themes and that made no difference so I don't think it has anything to do with it either :-(

[butchs]

I am going to have to agree with Kindred here.     You just gave yourself more work since you have a custom theme.

If you have a custom theme you need to do a manual installation if you can select the theme for an auto installation.  I am no expert at this stuff so I can offer little help except:  Go to the mod page and under "Manual Install Instructions for SMF" select your version of SMF.  Then  follow the instructions.
