[CDB] Stop Forum Spam

[RMcGirr83]

Feel free to modify it as you see fit. Most, if not all, of the items you posted are minutia to me.

(I updated my previous post to add that I'm using phpBB 3.1.5.) I completed testing the registration functionality, along with logging and allowing registration if Stop Forum Spam is down (disable network connection on localhost).

Registration is tested the same as for guest posting. Insert a test IP here:

Code: Select all

	public function user_sfs_validate_registration($event)
	{
$this->user->ip = '192.168.42.43';		
		$settings = $this->get_settings();

I've gone as far as I can. From what I can tell, everything is working as expected. My only recommendation would have been to log why the IP ban was issued.

For example, I blocked by email address. The logs indicate the IP was banned (correct), but not that the reason for the ban was due to email.

Code: Select all

Banned IP for reason “Found in the Stop Forum Spam database”
» 192.168.42.43

Thinking further, the reason for the ban is a sum of email, IP, and username. Making a clear log to show all of these parameters will be more complicated than the checking itself.

As long as I can correlate the time of ban across the user, moderator, and admin logs, I can figure out what's going on. I'll probably disable logging anyway, unless I need to debug a problematic registration. I also require registration to post.

I'm done for now and think this code is ready for validation. Thanks for doing this.

I have taken back this extension and have submitted it to the database on here for validation.

Yes, but what happens after the initial validation? I'm unclear how this updated code gets incorporated as a version release.

Either the original author of the extension will add your changes and re-submit it or you can submit your version for validation, with the appropriate acknowledgements of the original author.

[Lady_G]

Thank you.

Is there any status on the current validation?

Hello,

can you include the contact-page to your extension? I often receive spam over the contact formular so it would be nice if spammers are blocked in the future.


Thanks

There are no events for the contact page so no this extension cannot be applied to the contact page.
