Great mod
Unfortunately i have a small  problem with it.  My error log i full of:

8: Undefined variable: poster_id
File: /forum/Sources/Subs.php
Line: 2454

Which is:

Code: [Select]

: elseif ((($poster_id === 0 && $modSettings['anti_spam_links_guests'] == 3) || (!empty($poster_id) && !empty($modSettings['anti_spam_links_nofollowlinks']) && $posts != '' && $posts < $modSettings['anti_spam_links_nofollowlinks'])) && strpos($message, '<a href') !== false)   
and:

8: Undefined variable: poster_id
File: /forum/Sources/Subs.php
Line: 2450

Code: [Select]

==>2450: if ((($poster_id === 0 && $modSettings['anti_spam_links_guests'] == 2) || (!empty($poster_id) && !empty($modSettings['anti_spam_links_newbielinks']) && $posts != '' && $posts < $modSettings['anti_spam_links_newbielinks'])) && strpos($message, '<a href') !== false)
Thanks for your help.

I realize this is an old post and so far, this mod is working great on my site, but I was wondering - could this be easily modified to prevent spammers from using URL's in the subject of a post?

[vbgamer45]

What would you like to happen? If a url is entered in the subject line?

[BSD2000]

Maybe an error message when they click post stating that URL's in the subject are not allowed, much like the error message that appears if you click post with an empty subject and/or message body.

[vbgamer45]

I can probably do a code that gives an error message if http:// or https:// is found in the subject line?

[BSD2000]

Yep, that's it - maybe use an expression match to find the http:// or https:// anywhere in the subject text, just in case they try to pad the beginning of the subject with spaces. The Anti-Spam Links mod works great at discouraging spammers posting links in the body of the message, but they get around that by putting the URL as the subject.

I think if they see no way of posting their URL, they will most likely give up and move on to an easier website.

If there isn't a mod already for something like this, I think it would make a nice addition to the arsenal of spam prevention mods, or maybe an added feature to the Anti-Spam Links mod.

I replied to your other post.

I am using Anti-spam links mod and i have set it up to a member can post link after making 20 posts.

Now i want to display a message to newbie member when he/she try to post links like this
" You must make 20 post to insert an external link"

Although the default message is else.

How can i change the default message to my own above text

Have a look in your theme folder for Modifications.english.php - the text strings should be in that file

i can't locate that file in my theme folder. I did try from packages==>anti spam links==>modification.xml here i changed the default message but it's not working even if changed the same text appears when a user post external link

[Shambles]

It might be Modifications.your_language.php, but there will be a Modifications.xxx.php file in your theme's folder.

Thanks i found that file in themes==>languages==modification.english.php
