Working on a filter by country extension and it seems to be working correctly. I have a few issues and concerns. I am using the core.user_setup_after event for blocking traffic. That's where I check the IP and if it is not associated with allowed countries. I use trigger_error to block traffic: // N...

That's essentially what I did. The only problem is that if a template is copied from the base style like prosilver, the base template may have changes made to it over time. The only way to catch those changes is to periodically look at the template comparing it with previous versions and apply them ...

I was hoping to avoid hard coding in a template itself because upgrades will overwrite them. Thanks for your insight.

It's not in the extension. It's in the main file system, ex /styles/prosilver/template/event.

Stuff like this works in my extension too. I assumed the logic would work outside of an extension for minor customizations for clients. Perhaps not?

Am I understanding this wrong? This is not part of an extension, just some work I am doing for a client. I am trying to add some text before the username field on the registration form. In the template, I see an event: <!-- EVENT ucp_register_credentials_before --> So I create an event folder /style...

Awesome suggestions and testing everyone! I'll incorporate these soon (in the middle of a big job at the moment).

We don't know if these solutions will work. That will take time.

These are excellent ideas. Maybe using a function like htmlspecialchars() is all I need when loading the $countries array. If not, using the array approach sounds promising.

I haven't changed any defaults in phpStorm. I would think it would default to UTF-8 encoding.

I could apply the change to my GitHub master if you publish it. When I copy and paste it I see the error you described. The question is what's causing it? The page asserts UTF-8 content: <meta charset="utf-8"> This data comes from your language file. I use phpStorm for my editor. I can choose any en...

In your language file, I see: https://github.com/Solidjeuh/filterbycountry/blob/master/phpbbservices/filterbycountry/language/nl/common.php for Belgium: <option value="BE">Belgie</option> but I do see it for Ukraine: <option value="UA">Oekraïne</option> I installed the Dutch language pack. On the st...

This is a good analysis. It may be that I am not using the right event. I doubt it hurts to recheck, as I am sure the call to MaxMind's database is quick. If the IP is not in the database, I believe you get an automatic refresh in the form of a page with the error message. A lot of it may be that.

The statistics can be erased by turning them off. I think there may be some double counting going on, page refreshes or something similar. The details are in the phpbb_fbc_stats table if you want to look at them. This table does not collect the IP address, but if you have logging turned on these wil...

A new beta version is out. Some changes of note: The settings page looks a bit different. In particular, a setting has been renamed "Allow VPN services" because it more accurately describes what happens if an IP is not found in the MaxMind database ... it is most likely access from a VPN. MaxMind se...
