bbAntiSpam stop forum spam bots

[ttwkx]

Here is a fix to stop spam bots from spamming up your forums so much.

PHP-Nuke is a website content management systeme. To attach Advanced Textual Confirmation to PHP-Nuke, do the following:

http://bbantispam.com/atc/AdvancedTextualConfirmation.zip

1) In the PHP-Nuke installation directory, create the folder "bbantispam" with the the files "bbantispam.php" and "bbas_config.php"

2) To stop spam registrations

2.1) Starting from the PHP-Nuke installation directory, go to the directory "modules/Your_Account" and open the file "index.php".

(TODO I suspect that the phpBB forum is embedded to Nuke in such a way, that there is a hidden possibility to create new accounts through the forum, bypassing the standard Nuke registration process. Therefore, if spam registrations continue, put the installation code for bbantispam in "config.php", not in "modules/Your_Account/index.php".)

2.2) Change the first lines of the file from
Code:

<?php

/************************************************************************/

to
Code:

<php>
<?php

/************************************************************************/


2.3) Save the changes.

3) To stop forum spam

3.1) Starting from the PHP-Nuke installation directory, go to the directory "modules/Forums" and open the file "posting.php".

3.2) Change the first lines of the file from

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

to
Code:
<php>
<?php
/***************************************************************************


3.3) Save the changes.
