@CoC

Is the bugfix of this mod and now present in v1.10 the same as mentioned in this message ?
Because i want to upgrade from v1.04 to v1.10

Yes thats it -

Hi CoC,

Re: "It may do, but the 1.0.2 is the validated mod, 1.1.0 is a bug fix and not yet validated and until such time it will never be on the download page.
Nothing I can do about that." I understand now. Thanks,

Kerry

The download link in the third post will always be to the latest version, so you could bookmark it and check back every few months to see if it has had any update -

I edited my message stating i was using 1.02 instead of 1.04, so how can i upgrade from 1.02 to 1.04, and afterwards do the fix to 1.10 ?

Thnx

[CoC]

You can use that to update from 1.0.2 - 1.1.0

The only other edit was a typo in language/en/common.php

against was spelt agaist

Code: Select all

	'AB_QUESTION_EXPLAIN'			=> 'For protection against spam, Answer the above question.',

I must have made an error.

In the ACP General > User Registration Settings > Anti-Bot Question = Yes
I entered a question and two answers then I pressed Submit

I logged out and then I registered and entered the confirmation code and pressed Submit and got "No Anti-Bot Question Answer Entered." I did not see the Answer the Question option. Is it supposed to be on the Registration page or another page?

Suggestion?

Thanks,

Kerry

Yes, use a better editor.
One that does not add a BOM to the files, or you can choose to save as UTF-8 without BOM.

Thanks It worked I went and downloaded Notepad++ and that seemed to do the trick.

Did you make the style edit?
AntiBotQuestion/templates/prosilver.xml

Re: Style edit?

Aaah, I edited the wrong set of files. I just followed the instructions at the top of this thread.

That would be a nice tidbit to put in a readme.txt file "Open the .xml doc that matches your board's style."

Some of us are newbees to this process.

I've downloaded from the link in the third post, but can't figure out how to install this - I don't see any install instructions.... am I blind? help.....

[Kerrith]

Hi Whitetj,

The blind leading the blind here but unzip the download and you'll see 4 items, one named Anti Bot Question.xml. Dbl click for the pages to edit.

Also in the unzipped download dbl click the folder named templates and select your board's default style and dbl click. It will give you some sense of what to do. I'm just one minute ahead of you after doing it incorrectly the first time.

[whitetj]

Yep,

I've downloaded and unzipped, and see the xml files, but have no clue what to do with them. I'm actually using another theme/template that I installed (acidtech) but even there is no hint or clue as to what to do with the file(s) that were unzipped. I've even opened the files thinking there'd be a clue in them, but not that I can see.

Here's where I'm at. I edited the styles/templates/prosilver/ucp_register.html
and I'm still getting "No Anti-Bot Question Answer Entered." I did not see the Answer the Question option. Is it supposed to be on the Registration page or another page?


Kerry

In SQL query I get:

Error
SQL query:

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

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



MySQL said:

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

but I don't knopw what it means.

For example: in the Anti Bot Question.XML you'll see
Open: includes/ucp/ucp_register.php

Via FTP find the ucp_register.php file and using your text editor search feature find the
the following line:

'tz' => request_var('tz', (float) $timezone),

Add this line on a new blank line after the preceding line(s)

'AB_Question' => strtolower(request_var('AB_Question', '')),

The spacing is all screwed up, hopefully you can make sense of my instruction.

I do believe it should show up on the registration page.
I'm still lost as ever with trying to figure out how to install this mod since it didn't appear to include any instructions.
