| Re: what the heck is a trackback in weblog ? |
| by macmend on 2006/9/5 7:26:55 it is such a pity that weBLog has not been developed further, as it was an excellent module, but this trackback and spamming thing scuppered my use of it. I moved over to the excellent wordpress module, which i find good but very slow. If someone was to redevelop weBLog it would be great. |

| by JMorris on 2006/9/4 21:17:26 Not a fix, but the following makes cleaning up trackback spam in WeBlog a LOT easier. Paste the following SQL into the phpMyAdmin query window and click GO: le="color: #000000"><?php TRUNCATE TABLE `xoops_weblog_trackback`; UPDATE `xoops_weblog` SET `trackbacks` =0 WHERE `trackbacks` !=0 Be sure to change the "xoops_" prefix to match your site's table prefix.

| by macmend on 2006/4/7 18:50:03 unfortunately not fully tested, as my hosts introduced PHPSuexec as a security measure and htaccess didn't work properly after that, I have to use php.ini. as far as I can see it helped and there is alot you can do with htaccess to restrict spam, a search across the web, will show the htaccess route to stopping trackback and comment spam. In the end I converted my whole site to the wordpress blog module, which is a pity, but works well enough. |

Hey, macmend, did that end up working for you? If so, I'll be sure to throw it on. |

| by wintercorn on 2006/4/7 9:28:06 On bylaugh.org I simply renamed the weblog-tb.php file to something random and blocked the IP range - it stops all trackbacks and shows a 404 error. edit- He's just been on again and this is the result: le="color: #000000"><?php Host: 85.255.113.158 /modules/weblog/weblog-tb.php/7 Http Code: 403 Date: Apr 07 11:25:56 Http Version: HTTP/1.1 Size in Bytes: - Referer: - Agent: Movable Type | | | /modules/weblog/weblog-tb.php/3 Http Code: 403 Date: Apr 07 11:26:59 Http Version: HTTP/1.1 Size in Bytes: - Referer: - Agent: Movable Type | | | /modules/weblog/weblog-tb.php/2 Http Code: 403 Date: Apr 07 12:52:50 Http Version: HTTP/1.1 Size in Bytes: - Referer: - Agent: Movable Type | | | /modules/weblog/weblog-tb.php/8 Http Code: 403 Date: Apr 07 13:08:48 Http Version: HTTP/1.1 Size in Bytes: - Referer: - Agent: Movable Type | | | /modules/weblog/weblog-tb.php/5 Http Code: 403 Date: Apr 07 13:33:27 Http Version: HTTP/1.1 Size in Bytes: - Referer: - Agent: Movable Type Lot's of 403's until he tries another IP and then lots of 404's. |
