vBulletin Mods

Hi LVC not sure if you were replying to my post but I am sure I uploaded everything to the root and I am still unable to post. Are there any known conflicts with other mods or do I need to CHMOD 777 the directories?

I digress. I am sorry I was not making sure the files were in the correct directories. The product is allowing me to post now.

what did you do? im unable to post.. i have vb 4.1.5

When you upload the files via FTP you need to make sure they are put in the correct directories. Not trying to be a ++++ so don't think I am talking down to you by showing you an example but I didn't even think about it so here's an example for this specific product (hope it helps)

ex: the file 'upload' has 2 files in it (admin & includes) in the admin file glowhostspamomatic.php exists and that php file must be placed in your forums admin directory, not in the root. Same with all files excluding the product-glowhostspamomatic.xml file which needs to be uploaded in your forums admincp.

Long story short, make sure the file you FTP goes to the correct directory not in the forum root.

Hope that helps

Should I uninstall vbStopForumSpam mod before install this one?

Thank you very much!

i just upgraded to vb 4.1.5 and i just re uploaded the files and it worked.

Why dont you give us the option to ban or submit spammers when we click edit and it takes us to ACP? I am getting a shitload of spammers signing up to post visitor messages!

Its coming with version 2.5 as stated in the first post.

The correct question would be, when will be seeing 2.5 come out...?

hope 2.5 has moderation alerts.

would love to receive an email alert when a post is placed in auto moderation.

If there is a way to do that now -- please share.

Hi,

Thanks for the mod! I am missing the Spam-O-Matic logs link under Statistics and Logs? I am running Vbulletin 4.1.5? Any suggestions? I installed last nigt and see to Spammers Denied Registration on Forum Home section but cannot find section for logs?

Yes, But I remember that function / feature present in the previous 1.x version, I was able to ban, and submit them to akismat,. As soon as I upgraded" to the new version. it went away.

Also this, Or maybe a banner on top of the forums visible only to admins or mods that says "SOME POSTS NEED MODERATION". This should be an option to eithr be notified this way or via PM

This mod needs a lot of functions, as when its banning users, make it so that it removed everything(eg. visitor messages etc. so no spam links are left on out forums. Add MORE options about banning and removing spam posts in one click. Also alerts is a big yes yes :D//


2.5 soon please :o

4.2. Get API key for Akismet and enter it in settings. After this edit your usergroups and you will see the option to "Filter posts with Akismet". Only check groups with untrusted users (i.e. Unregistered / Not Logged In, Registered Users).

I added the Akismet key but I don't see this option in any of my user groups. Where should I be looking?

Awesome something like 29 blocks in 3 days!

Thanks great mod defo made my life easier

Hi,

I'd like to install this mod but I have 2 questions beforehand for which I didn't find answers here.

1) Can I whitelist a country, this is the opposite to what most people seem to want to do. My forum is designed mainly for a specific country while all others are welcome. I therefore want to whitelist the country ( I can handle occasional spam manually) and do normal moderationrules for the rest of the world.

2) Can I Auto moderate posts with lings from users in a specific usergroup. Also some of them don't make a real link just put in a URL (it's unclickable but stillo messy).

Thanks

After installing this mod I get error on the forum home page link.

Database error in vBulletin 4.1.5:

I had to also change the product-glowhostspamomatic.xml TYPE=MyISAM to ENGINE=MyISAM for the install to work as it doesn't seem to like having type there since the latest mysql update but not sure if that is anyway related to the problem mentioned above.
