[ABD] Akismet for phpBB3

Post by MarkTheDaemon »

Modification Name: Akismet for phpBB3
Author: MarkTheDaemon

Modification Description: Adds Akismet anti-spam checking support to your forum.
Modification Version: 0.0.2

Requirements: cURL & an Akismet API key

Modification Download: http://projects.islandgeek.net/attachme ... -0.0.2.zip

Cooked this up pretty quickly after realising there doesn't seem to be a MOD for phpBB3. It's a bit basic but does the job, will be adding more features (reporting spam posts etc.) at some point in the future.

Project page is over at http://projects.islandgeek.net/projects/phpbb-mods - I'll open up the bug and feature trackers shortly so if you have any comments or suggestions feel free to post them here and over there.

Seems to install fine with AutoMOD and appears to be working from here, some real world testing would be appreciated. First MOD I've released for a long time so enjoy :).

Cheers,

Mark

Personally I'd say use whatever suits your needs best, there isn't anything wrong with different options in the market at the same time :).

Thanks for the report, couple of bits to do with the Akismet class including this. Fixed on my local copy, will be uploading to svn shortly. If you wouldn't mind trying an updated version of the file it would be appreciated. The updated file is available from http://projects.islandgeek.net/projects ... kismet.php

Cheers,

Mark

What does this mod all check? ip address? email? username?

Does it block new spam registrations or does it check posts and then deletes/bans the user?

Currently from the MODX install file it looks to alter posting.php, so it currently only blocks posting.

bonelifer is correct, at the moment the MOD checks the post being submitted against Akismet and if found to be spam is rejected before it enters the database. It uses a combination of the users IP address, email, username and post content to check this with Akismet.

The problem with adding support for new registrations is that there is limited data for Akismet to process, it tends to work best when you have some post content to send to the service. That said, however, it would be possible to send the IP address, email and username to Akismet to check and this is something that I could implement in if enough people wanted it, most likely through a checkbox in the ACP.

Have released 0.0.2 which contains a bugfix and added support for registration checking, download link is in the first post.

If there is demand I'll also create an update file from 0.0.1 to 0.0.2, let me know if you would like this.

Cheers,

Mark

Hi,

Have you run the SQL queries required in the MODX file? You need to add the fields that are listed in the file under SQL to your database.

Cheers,

Mark
