Search options (Page 6 of 65)

Good idea for those links that are meant for a human clicking on them.
As they are often trying to link farm, get higher search rankings for the keywords, the question is:

A. to be considered

• will it still help them achieve the aim of getting better search enginge rankings for the spam site they are pointing to, if they write 'vi4gr4', 'v i a g r a' etc? That would create so many possibilities that the list of keywords would become huge

B. Ideas to efficiently counter the spam content posts

• Quarantine any posts with the keyword (manual input by every forum admin, moderator)

• Circulating such lists among forum admins could be beneficial (if the point listed under A. is considered)

• Query an online database of keywords (similiar to the extension Grez wrote for URL checking that queries an online database of URLs used by spammers) and quarantine any attempts for use of those keywords

• If using an online database it could be interesting to have checkable listings for 'watches, shoes, handbags (shopping)', 'pills (pharma)', 'porno, sex, etc'....

I'd just

• put the css lines one beneath the other and

• put an extra spacing before 'url...'

• then double check the location path...

This should help...

The extension pun_karma also lets you have only thumbs up (so as not to offend any posters) - in admin/settings/features....

cool
your welcome...

you can also change this code in the extension... not sure icon new is working!

/****************************************************************/
/* POST STATUS INDICATORS */
/****************************************************************/
/* remove default first */
 .brd .main-content .main-item .icon {
     border-width: 0;
     height: 20px;
     width: 20px;
}
.brd .main-content .main-item .icon {
    background:transparent url(images/icon.png) no-repeat;
}
.brd .main-content .main-item .icon.moved {
    background:transparent url(images/iredirect.png) no-repeat;
}
.brd .main-content .main-item .icon.new {
    background:transparent url(images/inew.png) no-repeat;
}
.brd .main-content .main-item .icon.sticky{
    background:transparent url(images/isticky.png) no-repeat;
}
.brd .main-content .main-item .icon.closed{
    background:transparent url(images/iclosed.png) no-repeat;
}
.brd .main-content .main-item .icon.sticky.closed{
    background:url(images/iclosedandsticky.png) no-repeat;

Note: PunBB 1.2 styles and modifications do not work on PunBB 1.4

Migration from PunBB 1.2 to PunBB 1.4

Follow these instructions to migrate from your current PunBB 1.2.* installation to 1.4.x.
NOTE: Make a backup of your current forum directory before proceeding. Also, don't forget to make a backup of your forum database. Use the tool mysqldump for MySQL and pg_dump if you are using PostgreSQL. If you're using SQLite, just make a backup copy of the SQLite database file. You can also make database backups via most administration tools such as MySQL Administrator, phpMyAdmin and phpPgAdmin. It's strongly recommended to make a database backup if your forum is not 100% in English. You can experience data loss in the convertion to UTF-8 if you specify wrong encoding of data stored in the database.
Download PunBB 1.4.x and extract the archive on your hard disk.
Replace your old 1.2 directory with the contents of the 1.4.x archive. Keep old config.php and img/avatars dir. E.g. if you have 1.2 installed into www/punbb/ and forum URL is http://example.com/punbb/. You can use the next steps:

• rename old www/punbb/ to www/punbb_old/;

• create new directory www/punbb/ and put PunBB 1.4.x there;

• copy /www/punbb_old/config.php to new www/punbb/ and /www/punbb_old/img/avatars to /www/punbb/img/avatars.

• Open forum index and follow instructions.

Ask him directly if in doubt.

Good luck.

An improvement idea.
I recently reported a spammer and minutes later I received an email from your extension on another forum, telling me an attempt had been blocked;

Is there a way of integrating the
- last seen information
- if IP or email were reason for report?

Thanks.

You can add a .js to the header via an extension....

<extension engine="1.0">
    <id>javascript_caller</id>
    <title>Javascript Caller</title>
    <version>0.0.0</version>
    <description>Calling the javascript</description>
    <author>Author</author>
    <minversion>1.4.1</minversion>
    <maxtestedon>1.4.1</maxtestedon>

    <hooks>
            <hook id="hd_head" priority="4"><![CDATA[
            $forum_head['javascript_caller'] = '<script type="text/javascript" src="'.$ext_info['url'].'/myscript.js"></script>';
 ]]></hook>
    </hooks>
</extension>

Also look at in /include/template/main.tpl

Okay, maybe you'll have to take detour by converting it to 1.3.4 (what the tool was tested on...)
http://punbb.informer.com/svn/punbb/tags/punbb-1.3.4/

If you can convert to 1.3.4 it will be a breeze afterwards....

Inside the downloadable tool...
phpbb_converting_tool\extensions\phpbb3_login

I don't think there will be separate language section...
but if you can post here - would be good...
I had started it a year or so ago... but there isn't much demand....
