It depends on what the script calls to do the post processing. Maybe you could ask the mod author to take a peek at my previous post and tell us how they handle the Jquery data. Usually there is a little custom backend.

There are two filters for unicode. Please have a glance over the very fine documentation or read the descriptions in the ACP setting.

Have you set the unicode character filter?

heredia21 · Post by **heredia21** » Wed Feb 23, 2011 6:55 pm

In ACP post settings? No

Where do you go to set it? And what would be the unicode for my case.

That's why it didn't filter the Chinese characters then...............

In ACP post settings, scroll down the page, and enter the regex codes in the relevant box. I have posted a screengrab above.

At the risk of being rude, I'll ask as well, have you read and understood the wiki?

Screen grab where? I dont see it. And i dont have a box for any type of code to insert. Just min post count, min days and disable sleeper agent.

BTW your site has never worked on my computer. Ive been having to download these files from my phone and email so i can download to my computer. I see the image url is posted at your site so it will not work here i cant view it.

Small correction in /includes/acp/acp_board.php

Code: Select all

'legend3'                => 'LINKS_FILTER_OPTIONS',

Replace with:

Code: Select all

'legend3'                => 'Spam Hammer',

I've corrected the install package and uploaded it already.

I dont see anywhere to change the unicode in acp

I have done another screengrab of the spam hammer settings. This time I've linked to it, as it's quite large.
If you aren't seeing something like this, then you have made an error installing this mod. If so, I suggest you replace your backed up files, and start fresh.
I have no idea why your phone won't download or view files from my site,perhaps you could try a different browser?

Thanks for the update

I am also in the process of doing new screenshots for the wiki.

Is LINKS_FILTER_OPTIONS defined properly in the language file?
en/acp/board.php:

Code: Select all

'LINKS_FILTER_OPTIONS' => 'spam hammer',

It's fine with me to define it in the other place instead though, especially if it isn't needed to be translated. I don't like having to update in so many places during development

My recommendation:
*We test for a bit, make sure everything is running well (I want to check the 24hour prune tomorrow)
*Make a v0.0.3 with the final class once we verify there are no error, and add one change to the edits: include $submit in the profile check so the user only has to private $extreme=true; to turn on the honeypot (same as wiki now).
*Try for a RC and approval? I'll be happy to make any style changes and updates requested by the MOD review team.

Are you trying the logs yet

I actually think they are very funny to watch spammers delete themselves in the honey pot.

However, the logs alerted me to how much we got hit with guest accounts, so I disabled that because we pay by the CPU cycle and I don't want that extra processing (one anon post per 10-15 seconds) for the few guest posts we get: 1-2 per week so far, does anyone even know it exists

I'm trying the logs, but not getting many entries.
I suspect that my domain has been blacklisted as a waste of time trying to spam it

Not deleting at the moment, I'm watching their attempts.
