Re: Does the plugin RegKey Plugin work with 1.2.15 (3 replies, posted in PunBB 1.2 modifications, plugins and integrations)
It seems to work here are the changes needed to make it work in 1.2.15 (this are changes to the readme for install notes)
#MODIFIED: modify the versions line in install_mod.php to look like this
$punbb_versions = array('1.2', '1.2.1', '1.2.2', '1.2.3', '1.2.4', '1.2.5', '1.2.6', '1.2.7', '1.2.8', '1.2.9', '1.2.10', '1.2.11', '1.2.12', '1.2.13', '1.2.14', '1.2.15');
#--------------------------------------#
#MODIFIED: look for the following in function set_default_user()
#--------------------------------------#
global $db, $db_type, $pun_user, $pun_config;
#--------------------------------------#
#MOFIFIED: REPLACE IT WITH THIS:
#--------------------------------------#
global $db, $db_type, $pun_user, $pun_config, $cookie_name, $cookie_path, $cookie_domain, $cookie_secure, $cookie_seed;30 2007-05-10 23:41
Topic: Does the plugin RegKey Plugin work with 1.2.15 (3 replies, posted in PunBB 1.2 modifications, plugins and integrations)
I modified what versions it was looking for and tried it but it didnt let me register. However I'm thinking I may have missed a line or something while modifying some files.
FIgured I'd ask again before I spend another 30min modifying my stuff again, i had to undo it all to make things work.
Here is the plugin in question:

Re: SunBB 0.1 released (23 replies, posted in General discussion)
i dont understand the reason for the fork?
unless you made a ton of modifications and tons of new features.
what you need to do is make a page with some info on why its better or whats different and then also have a version running online for us to look at also.
from the looks of it, it looks like that OpenLD is a modified version of PunBB, is that what SunBB is?
OpenLD looks very very interesting however

Lets say you had several themes but the later want just one to be used and arent sure if others are using another theme? I want to reset everyone to a specific theme.

Re: Ideas on how to prevent spam registration? (8 replies, posted in PunBB 1.2 discussion)
how about checking the DNS records for the email address to make sure the domain exists? I do that on an email form i use, granted it wouldnt cut down spam much, just another idea

Re: Cant add sessions to punbb :( (4 replies, posted in PunBB 1.2 troubleshooting)
a token that is in the form and must match whats in the session, also I'm gonna set a 15min timeout, I know my code works as I've used it in a email form I have, but I'm trying to hack it into punbb registration

Topic: Ideas on how to prevent spam registration? (8 replies, posted in PunBB 1.2 discussion)
I think we all need to get together and think of ways to fight spam bot registration.
Here are some ideas i have and im got a few from other posts also:
1) use tokens
http://shiflett.org/articles/foiling-cross-site-attacks
2) ban certain TLDs or only allow certain ones
3) ban free email accounts (gmail, hotmail,...)
4) create another database table that holds the registered users until they confirm their email address, and once they confirm their email address add them to the valid user database (although some spammers do confirm their email address)
5) put in "honey pot" form fields and test them for values
6) captcha (text captcha, math captcha, ...)
7) check referrer
granted a lot of those can be overcome rather easily, maybe a combination of all of them would help kill 99% of the spam
feel free to add your ideas

Topic: Cant add sessions to punbb :( (4 replies, posted in PunBB 1.2 troubleshooting)
I'm trying out a new hack by putting in a token for registered users on the register form as a PHP Security guru suggests
http://shiflett.org/articles/foiling-cross-site-attacks
Unfortunately it seems the way punbb works it wont allow session, i think some stuff is coming in before the session starts even though I put in my session code at the top of register.php

Re: Banning TLD's, like .ru? (30 replies, posted in PunBB 1.2 discussion)
what TLDs do u think are "safe"?
.com, .net, .org
thats what I plan to use for now, I cant think of any others. Although its wont be long til they just change their code to adjust

Re: Important thing to avoid Spam (5 replies, posted in PunBB 1.2 modifications, plugins and integrations)
youre better off changing the name of the page that does the registration to something else than what the standard punbb gives you, since bots will be looking for it
you might even require a referrer from your domain but that isnt guaranteed to work and it might affect regular users who use tools to stay anonymous

Re: Remove footer (6 replies, posted in PunBB 1.2 modifications, plugins and integrations)
If you are trying to prevent spammers from finding your board, u might make it an image and use a rel="nofollow" link and no alt tag with it.
Its not 100% foolproof, it probably only prevents like 5% of spam bots from finding your board but every bit helps.

Re: Turn off Signatures (12 replies, posted in Feature requests)
i saw it in the options for 1.3 so I'm hoping you guys really help to implement this, most of the time signatures are just the same image over and over, or some little quote they found

Re: A little bit of that and a little bit of that (51 replies, posted in News)
Cool, but I noticed there were no spam prevention options in the Admin
Please include these kinds of things, most apps being built today are doing this because spam has become such a big problem on the web.
