I can't reproduce the problem: on your site, I successfully created an user "test2", followed the confirmation link and logged in.

I have used bbantispam in PHP-Nuke for 1,5 years without a single spam. I have put the installation code in config.php and thus get protected from spam everywhere.

I have a small problem. Guests that never posts can't chat, because bbantispam is activated and integrated in a part of the chat window, but it is not possible to answer the question, because bbantispam is just a small yellow field. The chat program is SPChat. I wonder, if I can modifiy the code of send.php, so bbantispam is not activated by send.php of the chat?

I don't have experience with PHP-Nuke, but the following might work. Change

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


to

Code:

<?php
if (! strstr($_SERVER['QUERY_STRING'], 'name=SPChat')) {
  include_once 'bbantispam/bbantispam.php';
}
?>

I was silly enough to install this, and now my entire site is -blank-
I deleted everything (the folder and the lines from the correct files) and it's still blank.
oh merry merry me!

Blank page means an error. Have you enabled error reporting to true in config.php?

I'm very sad to hear it. This shouldn't happen. Please restore the files from backup.

Hello,

I was trying to understand. Right now there are two config.php files, one master file for the whole site, and which resides in its root directory.

Then there is a config.php which is in the 'Forums' directory (where phpBB is)

Which one am I supposed to modify?

When I alter the config.php file in the site's root directory, it works as it should on my local test server. But when I upload this file to my production server instead of my original 'config.php', browsing anywhere on the site comes up with an error message saying that MySQL is not working.

I turned on PHP error reporting, and nothing comes up.

I do not have access to the error_log files on that server, so it's difficult to understand what is going wrong.

To be clear: I am only trying to prevent NEW spam registrations and their subsequent posts, which are fully automated, they do not go through phpNuke, but are scripted to register directly into my installation of phpBB 2.0 (embedded in phpNuke). I do not want my registered users to have to see an extra screen every time they post into phpBB....

Thanks in advance for any help.

Hello sg_57,

you need to modify "config.php" which resides in the root directory.

Oops. I'm afraid you've got a small disaster. The file "config.php" contains configuration settings.Now your production server uses the settings of the test server. You need to restore the original production "config.php" from backup.

Thanks for the quick reply. Sorry, I was working long hours, and completely forgot to keep my settings separate, so that the database access details were wrong and I was sending the 'local server' info to my live box, which of course did not like it one bit.

It's working as it should now, will keep my eyes on it for the next few days.

Hello

1st of all this looks just what I have been after. At the moment I have not put this on my live site but am testing this on a test site.

It all seems to have worked where I get asked the question when loggin in, and then not asked again after logging out and back in again.

The problem is after a short while when I return to the site and log back in I get asked the question again. I thought users only got asked this question once then when answered never asked again for that user.

Is this how this is supposed to work or is there something wrong

Thanks for any help you can give

Thanks Mark
