vBulletin Mods

\clientscript\yui\connection\connection-min.js is a standard vBulletin file in every vBulletin installation - why do you think the problem is with this mod?

Not got that on mine, file is clean, you should look around for other possible exploits, mods etc which may have inserted the code.

Not from the mod.

For the next version of Spam-O-Matic I'd like to be able to edit the error message that registrants see if they are prevented from registering. Currently, the message is non-specific, just saying that they are a spammer and this is resulting in many emails. I'd like to give a little more information to help them recover without resorting to email.

It would be great if the message could be edited in settings so I could say something like "try a different username..."

I realise I could edit the XML file but it's a bit of a pain reloading that just to change the message.

Thanks

This mod, like many, uses "phrases"- you can easily edit them via your Admin CP -> Phrase Manager. The one you're looking for I believe is called glowhostspamomatic_reject, otherwise you can "search in phrases" to find it.

Brilliant. Thank you very much.

I just installed this on a clean install of 4.1.3 and it messes up the footer.
Basically the footer disappears.

Is anyone else having this problem?

after upgrading to 4.1.3 i get this error

Block Disabled:      (Update License Status)

I don't know for sure how or what happened. I'm NOT a coder. I'm just letting you know what happened to me and what to look for. It might just be a coincidence. Just before I put in the mod A known spamer got in. That is why I put in the mod. They were in for only 5 minutes before I saw them and baned them. Now that I have upgraded to 4.1.3 I have reinstalled the mod but I keep a sharp eye on the file listed above to see if it changes. So far so good.

They might have used the exploit that 4.1.2 had. Here is the spamers information. Be on the look out for them.

I un installed the mod then did my upgrade. Then reinstalled it. No problems with it. But I only have 3 mods installed. I try to keep it light just for upgrade reasons.

I just installed this last night to my recently upgraded 4.1.3 board. Everything looked fine and then a member tried to post and got this message;

Warning: require_once(includes/functions_ghsom.php) [function.require-once]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in [path]/includes/functions_newpost.php(443) : eval()'d code on line 5

Fatal error: require_once() [function.require]: Failed opening required 'includes/functions_ghsom.php' (include_path='.:/usr/lib/php:/usr/local/lib/php') in /includes/functions_newpost.php(443) : eval()'d code on line 5


I turned off this plugin and now members can post. I am new to running a board like this, so any help would be greatly appreciated.

Awesome. Thank you for the heads up. I will try that and see if it works. :D

OK. The .php file is in the Includes folder. Any other suggestions? Thanks.

OK, it is fixed. The file was not in the right "includes" folder on the server. Thank you for the help with this.
