Anti-Bot Question

[CoC]

I also had a problem with this not liking some of my questions. I tried two different questions that both had single letter answers. They were:

What is the 3rd letter of the alphabet (english)?

That didn't work, so then I changed it to the 4th letter, which also didn't work.

I then tried a question that had a two word answer, and it liked that one.

Strange, I tried the exact same question and answer and registered just fine.

When I was trying to activate the anti-bot question in my ACP, I've got this error:

Snip

I've got exactly the same error - soon as I entered a question/reponse and submitted to activate Anti-Bot Question.

I believe it's because the cache wasn't purged before trying to set the answer and question, but I haven't had to time to check that theory yet.

Thank you CoC - that was it. Purging the cache is new to me and solves another problem I was having, I think.

Purge cache - delete all online /phpBB/cache/ files

Better still - in your ACP under the General tab find Purge the cache and hit Run now.

Yep, that was it.

I have a problem with this mod,
Everything under the “Admin control panel” -> “User registration settings” is fine: the switch is there, the question box and answer boxes are there.
But under “User registration panel” (through which a forum visitor can register to become a member) there are no extra boxes. Everything is as before installing the mod.
I have tried to reinstall the mod several times (now I made a clean phpBB3 install (before I used converting from php2 to php3) and installed this mod and it still doesn’t work)

I am a beginner but I inserted SQL queries under phpMyAdmin. After that I changed FTP files one by one - copied code text from instruction and pasted it on the right place in right files (after or before, just as said in the instruction)
If I saw that mod isn’t working, then I tried to purge the catch, delete catch files manually and after that switch question mod on again and determine the question and answers, but it didn’t help. At the same time, I haven’t tried to purge catch right after fresh mod installation – haven’t tried to purge catch and delete catch files manually before switching the mod in for the first time.
Can anybody please help me?

Did you made the changes to your style templates ? Look for the files prosilver.xml and subsilver2.xml in the templates dir.
After finishing with that renew your templates and empty your cache in the admin panel.

@CoC, thnx for this mod, installed it and works fine
Don't have a spambot problem at my board but always handy to have when needed

I didn't make changes to style templates. Thank You.

I'm having the exact same problem.
Fresh install of 3.0 it all apears in the acp, and the database has been altered, and is storing the questions, it just doesn't appear on the registration page.

I read it fridge, but haven't done anything to the styles and neither had Orm?
The install.xml didn't mention anything about changing these files. Did we miss something?

[Philthy]

Found it.
It seems the installation instructions are in two parts, with no reference to the template change in the first ?

[Fridge]

Orm got the message and you clearly didn't, there is a dir named templates and in that dir you will find 2 files named prosilver.xml and subsilver2.xml, they contain the changes to your style template file.

Edit: you've got the message

Hi,

I've installed this well designed mod (manually) and I'm pretty close to getting it working.

I'm able to create the questions in the admin panel, and I can see the question during registration. However, the answer text is pre-filled with the word "array" for some odd reason and the correct answer to the question is not accepted.

I queried the SQL database and confirmed that the answer was correctly associated with the "abanswer" field. No trailing spaces, etc. Cache was cleared and templates refreshed (there is no "renew template" option that I can find.)

Any ideas? The forum is:

Thanks,

Robert

The SQL doesn't seem to want to accept properly. I keep getting the following error in MyphpAdmin.

SQL query:

INSERT INTO phpbb_config( config_name, config_value, is_dynamic )
VALUES (

'enable_abquestion', '0', '0'
)

MySQL said:

#1054 - Unknown column 'config_name' in 'field list'

[Tiberun]

Found the answer...sorry

[johnbarrick]

I have made all the edits for mod version 1.0.4 to:

• includes/ucp/ucp_register.php
  
  includes/acp/acp_board.php
  
  language/en/acp/board.php
  
  language/en/ucp.php
  
  language/en/common.php
  
  styles/prosilver/template/ucp_register.html
  
  styles/subsilver2/template/ucp_register.html

The MySQL changes have been made.

Code: Select all

INSERT INTO phpbb_config (config_name, config_value, is_dynamic) VALUES ('enable_abquestion', '0', '0');
INSERT INTO phpbb_config (config_name, config_value, is_dynamic) VALUES ('abquestion','','0');
INSERT INTO phpbb_config (config_name, config_value, is_dynamic) VALUES ('abanswer','','0');
INSERT INTO phpbb_config (config_name, config_value, is_dynamic) VALUES ('abanswer2','','0');

When I have the Anti-Bot Question turned on, there is no question that appears as part of the registration yet when trying to register there is the error for an incorrect response.

I purged my cache and the problem still exists.

Apparently I am missing something. Help!
