Road Map

(Before you ask for a new feature or report a bug check if it's already in the cue waiting to be done)

Features:

• This mod uses the http:BL API from Project Honey Pot to stop spammers from accesing your forum.

• This mod is completely compatible with M-DVD's MOD Stop Spammer.
  You can have both mods installed or only one of them to stop the spammers in your forum,
  but I would recommend you to have both.

• The main differences between both mods are:
  
  
  • MOD Stop Spammer checks the database from Stop Forum Spam
    while MOD httpBL checks the database from Project Honey Pot.
    
    A lot of spammers are already in both databases, but some spammers are only in one of them,
    so it won't be a bad idea anyway to check both databases.
  
  
  • MOD Stop Spammer cheks if the visitor is a spammer when they try
    to register inside the forum while MOD httpBL checks them as soon as they arrive
    to the forum and redirect them to a file called warning.php making
    the whole site invisible to them.
    
    This way even harvesters (robots that never post in a forum, but search for email addresses
    to send them spam later) and any other kind of malicious web robots
    cannot even see any part of the site.

Installation:

IMPORTANT:
Before you install this mod I will recommend you
to read this TUTORIAL

Anyway here is a quick summary:

• 1.- Go to Project Honey Pot and register there to become a member of the project.

• 2.- Once you are a member, follow the instructions from their site to
  install a Honey Pot in your server.

• 3.- After you get your first honey pot activated, ask them for your own http:BL API key.

• 4.- Download and install MOD httpBL as any other mod.

• 5.- Configure the mod properly and enable it.

If you need help installing this mod or you want to see more information about it,
visit the support thread for this mod.

Thanks to Project Honey Pot for your DB and APIs.

Thanks to praseodym for the idea.
His mod is for Drupal, but I have adapted some of his functions to work with SMF as well.

Thanks to butchs, Wizzlefits and the rest of the people in SMF forums
for the new ideas and helping me debugging the mod.

Thanks to Marcin Krol and X3mE for writing the functions in the Mod OS & Browser Detection
and to ahrasis for making nicer the icons I'm using for the addon_OS_Browser_httpBL

I don\'t mind to answer questions through forums, emails, PMs, etc, but for me it\'s a lot easier to see what is the problem and find the solution when I can talk about it using a microphone. And also I think this is a lot faster and more effective way to sort problems.<p>
<p>I am connected around 10 hours every day using the programs <strong>"Skype"</strong>, <strong>"YIM"</strong> (Yahoo Messenger) and <strong>"MSN"</strong> (Live Messenger). I have also created a system in my server to write down what I am doing at every moment and have added a piece of code to the mod to read that info from my server (the piece you can see just next to these lines) so you can see if I am available or not.</p>
<p>If you have installed as well the program Skype, the process cannot be any easier. All you have to do is wait until I am available and click on the "Online" button. That will open automatically the program Skype in your computer and will start a conversation between us.</p>
<p>If you prefer to use YIM or MSN instead of Skype or if you haven\'t got a microphone, the button is not going to work automatically. In that case the button is going to be useful for you only to know if I am available or not, but to contact me you will need to add me first inside the program you use, like any other of your contacts. My ID inside those 3 programs is this one:</p>
<ul>
    <li>Skype and YIM : <strong>snoopy_virtual_studio</strong></li>
    <li>MSN : <strong>[email protected]</strong></li>
</ul>
<p><strong>NOTICE:</strong> Don\'t use my hotmail address to send me emails, as I almost never read them. If you need to send me an email use this other address instead: <a href="mailto:[email protected]">[email protected]</a></p>
<p><strong>WARNING:</strong> There are a lot of languages in the world I can understand even if it\'s only a little of it, but the only 2 I am really fluent with are English and Spanish. If you cannot speak any of those 2 languages you can call me if you want, but I cannot promise we will be able to understand each other.</p>
<p><strong>ANOTHER WARNING:</strong> Before you start asking questions it would be a good idea to do a quick search using the links you can see further down, to see if somebody else have already had the same problem and it has already been sorted. The main reason why I have created this "Online Help" system is to save time and it would make no sense at all if I end up answering hundreds of times the same questions every day.</p>';

$txt['httpBL_help_2_body'] = '<p>This mod is <strong>"Free Source"</strong> and that means it\'s a team work where all of us help each other. So it\'s not only about others solving your problems, but you should also ask yourself in what ways you can help all the people who use it. Depending on your skills and free time, the different ways you can help are these ones:</p>
<ul>
    <li><strong>Donations</strong></li>
</ul>
<p>If this mod have helped you out, donations are a great way of saying "Thanks!". Furthermore, the months when donations reach an acceptable level, I don\'t have to spend so many hours looking for customers to make other types of work and I can devote more time to what really matters: The various free software projects which I collaborate with.</p>
<ul>
    <li><strong>Reporting bugs</strong></li>
</ul>
<p>Whenever you see that the mod is behaving in a way that is not expected, you should report the bug in the appropriate forum. If you also have enough programming knowledge to find where is the failure and propose a solution, the better, but even if you have no idea of where the fault is, the mere fact of reporting it is helpful, because it will allow someone with more experience to know that the bug exists and to dedicate some time to solve it, which will make the mod work even better.</p>
<ul>
    <li><strong>Answering questions in the forum</strong></li>
</ul>
<p>If you\'ve been using this mod for some time and have some practice with it, you\'ll see at times that someone asks a question in the forum that you know the answer. If you answer that question it will save me some time and allow me to concentrate on more important problems.</p>
<ul>
    <li><strong>Helping with the development of this mod</strong></li>
</ul>
<p>If you have enough knowledge of PHP and some free time you can help solving mod bugs and/or developing future versions. To do this I have opened a <strong><a href="http://www.snoopyvirtualstudio.com/foro/index.php?board=36.0;language=english" target="_blank">sub-forum inside my personal forum</a></strong> where you are welcome if you are interested in the subject.</p>
<ul>
    <li><strong>More</strong></li>
</ul>
<p>Any other ideas you can think of to help us is welcome.</p>';
$txt['httpBL_about_title'] = 'About MOD httpBL';
$txt['httpBL_about_body'] = '<p>Mod httpBL was started in 2009 by me, J. C. Redondo "Snoopy", from <strong><a href="http://www.snoopyvirtualstudio.com/index.php?language=english" target="_blank">Snoopy Virtual Studio</a></strong>, based on ideas from Project Honey Pot message board, mainly <strong><a href="http://www.projecthoneypot.org/board/read.php?f=10&i=1&t=1" target="_blank">from this thread</a></strong> and also from the <strong><a href="http://drupal.org/project/httpBL" target="_blank">Drupal http:BL MOD made by praseodym</a></strong>.</p>
<p>Of course, Drupal code is very different from SMF code, so since the beginning I had to change it a lot. Furthermore, since I started it, I\'ve been modifying it a lot more and adding new features, as I have been having new ideas or they have been suggested to me by other people in SMF forum, so in the current version there is very little left from the original work, but all this would not have been possible without that initial work.</p>
<p>Since version 2.4 of October 2010, this mod also uses the functions created by <strong>Marcin Krol</strong> and modified by <strong><a href="http://www.simplemachines.org/community/index.php?action=profile;u=154415" target="_blank">X3mE</a></strong> in his mod <strong><a href="http://www.simplemachines.org/community/index.php?action=profile;u=154415" target="_blank">OS & Browser Detection</a></strong> to detect the Operating System and Browser of potential spammers.</p>
<p>This program, as most of my work, is free software (at least the parts I have done). You may redistribute it and/or modify it for your own projects anyway you want. Just mention where you got it from, to give me the credit I deserve for my efforts. Anyway if you are going to make any money with it, I will be very grateful if you consider donating me a small percentage of your profit.</p>';

The only file a human visitor may ever see is the file warning.php
telling him that his IP has been hijacked by a spammer and telling him what
to do in this case, so apart from the above lines you need to translate
this file if your visitors speak another language.

As all my websites are normally visited from people who speak either english or spanish,
I have done this file warning.php in both these 2 languages,
so if your visitors speak (let's say) either english or german,
you will only need to replace the spanish part with the same thing in german.

I welcome new translations here
