The PHP Nuke installation directory is the directory that contains such subdirectories as "modules" and "themes".

As I understand, in the directory "web", you've created the directory "bbantispam" and put two files (bbantispam.php and bbas_config.php) into the directory "web/bbantispam". Am I right?

I hope someone still using these boards, because I was looking for ages for this kind of protection. I did everything as explained but ACT is not working for me. I am using latest PhPNuke web site and getting blank screen when use this. Here is what I do exactly:

1. create bbantispam folder in root of my site (thats what you call installation directory, its actually called - root Wink )

2. Upload both php files into bbantispam folder (you have missed extension in main topic for bbas_config file, its supposed to say - bbas_config.php)

3. Checked encoding of my site - it is iso-8859-1.

Next I've tried to modify modules/Your_Account/index.php and modules/Forumes/posting.php.

When I try to either register new account or log in with already existing account it takes me to the blank screen. When I register new account I don't get this additional field that supposed to ask me to answer if I am a human.

Please help. I really want to get this running. I hate those loosers who spam porn and all kinds of crap on my web site.

FINALLY, I've figured out why its not working.

Quote:
3.2) Change the first lines of the file from

Code:
<?php
/***************************************************************************

to

Code:
<?php
include_once 'bbantispam/bbantispam.php';
/***************************************************************************


You have it stated right in installation instructions that come with the ZIP archive:

Insert something like this at the very beginning:

Code:
<?php include_once 'bbantispam.php'; ?>


the procedure has to be closed with ?>

If you don't close it then it takes you to the blank screen.

Please fix your confusing instructions on the forums Wink.

The both instructions are correct. Please note that instructions on the forum says "change", not "prepend".

Congratulations with successful installation!

Yes but if I just change those lines then its not working. I need to use ?> in the end of proposed insertion in order for it to work. Or even better I need to add that instruction even before <?. And close it with ?>. Only then it works. *shrug*. I dunno why its different here and in the zip.

I still don't see any error in the instructions. However, I followed your good advice ("Or even better ...") and updated the instructions here in forum.

I have actually switched to the method that disables registration totally and redirect new registrars to my FAQ section where it explains registration procedure. They send me info through feedback and I create account manually. I have noticed that even with ATC in place I get few fake registrations even though ATC was working. Don't know how it happens. In any way its a good way but its not working 100% for me still.

Sorry, I don't understand how it is possible. How one can register if registration is switched off?

It's impossible to stop manual registrations, therefore 100% isn't possible. Try changing questions, it seems that the default ones are not so good.

I use solution described here:

http://phpnuke.org/modules.php?name=PHP-Nuke_HOWTO&page=disable-registration.html

It stopped all registrations but now those losers send me feedback with the spam. Jee, man, I mean how sad you have to be to do all this spam crap...

At least I don't have to go to my web site now and delete all that crap manually, I can just delete incoming feedback spam right out of my inbox.
