vBulletin Mods

I must be going mad (well, thats a gimme) or blind as I cant see it :) Anyway, best of luck, Im way to busy with the database site so Im glad someone picked this up

There are a couple of other things that I had in vbStopForumSpam 0.7 that never made it out the door. one was calling all three fields from the API to cut down on the api calls for busy forums and the other was this one...

.. casted my vote :)

edit : oh wait, now I see it

Hey i installed v1.2.4 on a 3.8.6 board. Suddenly couldn't make any new threads with images in cause the threads got placed automatically in the moderation queue

I found out that it was the spam o matic mod that was causing the problem so i uninstalled and tried the newest version 1.2.6 but the same problem still occour?

Any fix on this would be very appreciated

Thank you for voting for us for Mod of the Month! I am glad you find the tool useful :)

OK Pedigree, I have added this into the bugtracker I will see that it gets added into the next major release. (v2.0)

Thanks for the vote for MOTM and code contributions of course!

If this is specifically related to trying to ban users with no posts, it would be good to know if that is the same thing the others are doing who have reported this error.

I suppose this is not a show-stopper bug as "Delete Posts As Spam" handles this process without error.

However, if reporting users who have no posts is the root of this problem, this should not happen in version 2.0 as it will be impossible to report users who have no posts.

The admin ban function will be removed in favor of a mod to the moderation tools menu in the postbit which fires the removal wizard directly from the front-end instead of having to login to admincp to get rid of the user.

It is similar in the way that version 1.x works now when using "Delete Posts As Spam" is used, but much slicker.

Ok

First I love this app. Especially the ability to ban, remove posts and sent to stop spam website in one click. However, it has since stopped working for me.

When i choose the options ban, remove all posts and send to sopt spam i now get this error message:

Fatal error: Call to a member function query() on a non-object in /home/crna/includes/functions_ghsom.php on line 386

Here is the actual lines from that php, 385 - 389.

If i simply choose to ban user and send to stop forum it seems to work fine, but when i choose the remove all posts that is where the error occurs. Then after the error when i go through the control panel to try and find "all user posts" so i can delete them it says their are none yet they are still there in the forum. In order to delete them I have to go into the forum itself, into the user profile on the forum find all posts then delete them.

Very odd

EDIT:

Ok upon further testing my "find posts by user" function through admin cp all the sudden no longer works at all... WTH? Ideas?

Well, scripts don't generally just break unless something changed. Something probably changed on the server itself, or with your vB installation if other things not related to Spam-O-Matic do not work. Perhaps you have some other mods causing issues, or your host changed php version, or your forum was compromised. It can be a number of things.

Hey

Well at this point nothing new has been done except for the vbexperience recent update, my server company has not changed anything and as far as i can tell there isnt any breech in the forum...

How can i track this down? It does seem that find posts works on some users and not on others.

Does disabling this mod change anything? Does disabling other mods change anything? That is the first place to start.

Hey

Yah that was the first thing i tried,

disabled glowhost -> still cannot find posts on random users
disabled vbexperience -> same

not sure what to do..

Well, if the mods are not doing it it must be in the forum code itself. May need to re-install vB or ask vB to do it for you. Hopefully you are running the latest secure version of vB.

Hey

Yah im runnin 4.0.6 and i put in a support ticket as well.

I did an update post count and got similar errors..

Warning: session_start() [function.session-start]: Cannot send session cookie - headers already sent by (output started at [path]/includes/adminfunctions.php:3692) in [path]/includes/functions_ghsom.php on line 378

How do you get that? Trying to submit a user from the admincp? If yes, with which options? Does the user you are trying to submit have any posts?

Hey

That error is through the admin cp -> maintenance -> update counters -> Update Post Counts

And i get a LONG list of these:

@mmackinnon
Did you try the 1.2.7 beta mentioned a few posts back?

In any case if you can wait a little while longer for version 2.0 I just tested what you said on our boards and cannot duplicate it. In any case it should not affect processing, its just ugly.

Hey

I do not mind waiting for 2.0 as this isnt a major issue, just annoying. When do you estimate it will be released?
