Feature request - a setting to only check guests and new members (upto x posts) against akismet.
Bug - your php checking is good, but I had a problem on my host where php 4 & 5 are available but 4 is active by default. I fixed it by changing it to 5 but it might be a problem for some.
What's the bug?
Sorry, missed your reply.
I can't remember now, sadly.
I've made a few small modifications to the extension, but they might not suit everyone. This was because an old 1.2 forum was getting hit by spam, and the modification for that was setting expire to NULL. After 4000 bans I can't get the bans page to load.
To avoid this issue with this extension I changed Line 81 of manifest.xml from
$ban_expire = 'NULL';to
$ban_expire = mktime(0, 0, 0, date('m')+1, date('d'), date('Y'));which will hopefully work - it hasn't caught any spam so far on a 1.3 forum!
Some more suggested enhancements
1. add a note to the header for admins if there are any spam posts. It should only appear when there is spam to deal with. (make it a link, then we can jump straight to the spam page).
2. move the administer spam posts from Administration » Extensions » Manage Extensions to a new page - I'd suggest a new page within the Management section
3. instead of my previous fix, have a new option that sets how long the ban should last, possibly a drop down that has set options:
days: 1, 7, 14
months: 1,3,6
years:1,2
and never (default).
4. add a mark as spam to the post-actions section for each post.
Sorry, I kinda stopped working on extensions...
how come garciat?
ahh in that cae I'll look at making the changes myself, if that's ok with you.
