Just follow the links from the description. You can set up as many honeypots as you wish, but only one QuickLink.

Let's be more specific: i have f.e. set up 2 honeypots.

F.e: http://www.forum.com/honey1.php and http://www.forum.com/honey2.php
In the ACP configuration, what will be the divorce sign?

Simply use a separate line for each trap.

I believe this is generally known as a separator or a delimiter

If you're using EasyMOD, just roll back and install the new version.

In that case, leave everything as is until you start getting user complaints about false positives

There are two changes I'd ask you to implement (although that's totally at your discretion):

Code: Select all

#
#-----[ OPEN ]------------------------------------------
#
includes/page_tail.php
#
#-----[ FIND ]------------------------------------------
#
if (isset($board_config['httpbl_links']))
{
	$links_ary = explode("\n", $board_config['httpbl_links']);
	$httpbl_link = '<a href="' . trim($links_ary[mt_rand(0, count($links_ary)-1)]) . '"></a>';
}
else
{
	$httpbl_link = '';
}
#
#-----[ REPLACE WITH ]------------------------------------------
#
$httpbl_link = sprintf($lang['http:BL_footer'], '<a href="http://www.projecthoneypot.org/" target="_blank" class="copyright">', '</a>', '<a href="http://www.phpbb.cc/" target="_blank" class="copyright">', '</a>');
if (isset($board_config['httpbl_links']))
{
	$links_ary = explode("\n", $board_config['httpbl_links']);
	$httpbl_link .= '<a href="' . trim($links_ary[mt_rand(0, count($links_ary)-1)]) . '"></a>';
}
#
#-----[ OPEN ]------------------------------------------
#
language/lang_english/lang_main.php
#
#-----[ FIND ]------------------------------------------
#
//
// That's all, Folks!
#
#-----[ BEFORE, ADD ]------------------------------------------
#
// Start add - http:BL MOD
$lang['http:BL_footer'] = 'Protected by %sProject Honey Pot%s and %sphpBB.cc%s';
// End add - http:BL MOD

Why this conclusion?

When somebody is fightening spam on this planet it's me.
I even made a sticky post about the Honeypot project: http://www.smokey-services.eu/forum/vie ... php?t=5174
And when you look with attention in my memberlist, you will notice that well-known and acknowledged spamfighters are members of my community.

My board is excessively protected against all kind of spamcreeps, i have strong doubts that anybody in this community have more done to avoid spam as i did, same for combatting spam.
Spam on boards isn't necessary at all, if you know what you are doing.

Your mods are just some of the many anti-spam modifications on my board, and because IMHO the Honeypot Project is a very useful one i support it.
In practice i don't need your mods to protect myself, but because i have warm feelings for Project Honey Pot i integrated your mods and support in that way the fight against spammers.
And because your anti-spam project is a good one too and therefore recommendable, hereby i offer you the possibility to give the user the opportunity to download also your anti-spam mods on my forums.

But don't tell me i am more interested in Ajax than spam related issues.

Because the changes concern the page footer, and your board's says "AJAXed and MODed"...

Thanks for the invitation

Why install a MOD you don't need? BTW I'm in no way affiliated with P.H.P. or Unspam

That's great, although I wouldn't see this as "offering me" anything, as I'm not doing this for fame or fortune, just trying to help the community fight spam. Of course your help fixing issues and spreading the word is much appreciated.

In any case, please link to the SourceForge download of my MODs, since I'm using its download stats to determine whether I should continue developing them.
