[ABD] Double Account Preventer

[ZDarkness]

@IPB_Refugee
I'm glad to be working on it again.



@ZDarkness
Sorry that it took so long to get to this, I've been having exams to I'm pretty busy right now . Replace the functions_dap.php file in your includes directory with this one and see if it works.

After replace functions_dap, set post notification to yes and register with a doble account:
Error persist.
But no file was showed in the error.

Code: Select all

Erro Geral
SQL ERROR [ mysql4 ]

Column 'topic_status' cannot be null [1048]

No problem about lag... I know wait.

I can honestly say I have no idea why that error is showing up. I can say that the post notification feature has been significantly improved in the next version, which I hope to have out soon. I just need to finish up a few other small things with it and release it. Hopefully the next version will fix that error for you.

i could use this!

A new development version has been released. I haven't had time to test too much out, so I have no idea how much of it will behave. This version should NOT be installed on a live board whatsoever. If you do want to test it out, create another board either on your server or on your localhost. It does have a couple of fixes and enhancements, as well as preliminary support for proxies (haven't tested this). Any feedback that can be given too me from testers is greatly appreciated.

I will test and tell my experience soon.

------Edit------------------
I installed on a fresh phpBB install with no mods...
When I view the forum I see:

Code: Select all

Fatal error: Call to a member function get_dap_config() on a non-object in /home/forumadm/public_html/testeboard/includes/functions.php on line 3772

Line is:

Code: Select all

	$dap_config = $dap->get_dap_config();

Then I use:

Code: Select all

    global $dap;

The this error appears:

Code: Select all

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected $end in /home/forumadm/public_html/testeboard/includes/functions.php on line 1513

I refresh the page and this disappears.

Then this error is showed:

Code: Select all

General Error
SQL ERROR [ mysql4 ]

I remove the lines of code 3772 and 3773 =

global $dap;
	$dap_config = $dap->get_dap_config();

Refresh:

Code: Select all

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected $end in /home/forumadm/public_html/testeboard/includes/functions.php on line 1513

Refresh again and board works fine, apparently.
I run dap_install.php and it works properly, then I reput the lines 3772 and 3773 in the code.

Code: Select all

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected $end in /home/forumadm/public_html/testeboard/includes/functions.php on line 2815

Refresh the page and it works fine...

Enable post notifications:
Send post notifications when a double account is detected: Yes

I registered with 2 doble accounts and it worked well, congratullation you did it.

Enable Proxy Check:
Checks for proxies and blacklisted IP addresses: Yes

I registered with anonymouse and I see nothing happening.

Proxy Check Block:
Block users using a proxy from registering on your forum: Yes

I registered with anonymouse and I see nothing happening too.

See you,

[kmklr72]

Thanks for testing this ZDarkness. So the proxy blocking isn't working for you at all? I didn't have a chance to test that feature, so I have no idea if it does or not .

You're welcome.

Yes, I tested it with anonymouse.org only and it didn't work.
Maybe this check another proxy, but I still don't know.

[kmklr72]

Sorry for the late response, I've been preoccupied with quite a bit. Is anonymouse an anonymous proxy like I think it is? If it is, that's why. Anonymous proxies don't leave much of a trail, if at all. I do think checking for ports 80 and 8080 being open would find them, but that would probably get a lot of false positives as well. As for the validation of this MOD, version 1.0.2 was submitted on May 19 and is still in the queue. I'm really just waiting for that to get validated to send in the updated version.

Hello,
At first i want to say: It's realy a very good and important Mod. I need it sooo bad on my forum.
A question: When it will be released so we can use it on a live board?
Also I have another question (maybe a stupid one, because I have no idea about programming issues): Why don't you use "Mac address" to define "Double Account"?


thank you a lot

[kmklr72]

The mod has been submitted to the moddb, so that should come out soon. As for using the MAC address, I didn't think about that, so I might add it as a feature, but I've been getting busy lately so I can't guarantee anything.

[IPB_Refugee]

How can you get the "Mac address"? I don't know even one way... It's impossible with PHP, HTML and JavaScript.
Unfortunately the suggestion sounds great but can't be realized...
(Is there a way via Flash? I don't know.)

Please prove that I'm wrong!

Regards
Wolfgang

[kmklr72]

The mac address can be found using PHP, but it needs to use some shell commands such as which and arp to do so. Even then, if the user is running through a proxy and you don't check for it, the proxy server mac address will be returned rather than the client's. The only real problem with finding a mac address in PHP is the fact that it does rely on certain shell commands, which may not work on all systems and configurations, especially for shared hosting. For the purposes of this MOD, getting a mac address is a good idea, it just can't be implemented to maintain compatibility among the maximum number of systems and configurations.

[kmxak]

when i install this mod it is always shown a white page

the bug is in the funktions.php

here is my file
http://www.tuningszene-detmold.de/functions.txt

can anybody help me?

[kmklr72]

Which version of DAP are you using? If it is 1.0.4, then you forgot to put:

Code: Select all

	global $dap;

After:

Code: Select all

function page_header($page_title = '', $display_online_list = true)
{
	global $db, $config, $template, $SID, $_SID, $user, $auth, $phpEx, $phpbb_root_path;
