No More Bots - XOOPS Antibot Signup

Author: Simon Roberts (wishcraft)
Download: xoopsAntiBotSignup.zip
Version: 1.02

Have you ever noticed how some programmers have been witting spam bots that automatically sign up to your website. They signup with usernames like newz002344 and so on, this is an implementation of Captcha, that prevents bot and only humans from signing up.

All you have to do is unzip into the root of your xoops installation and CHMOD 775/777 the path /uploads/_captcha_tmp/

This required GD2 Library to be installed and utilises one of the better turning keys for registration.

It is more of a security patch! It has been tested on xoops 2.0.14 - 2.0.16, unsure if compatible with later versions.

Xoops Comments - Prevent Anonymous User Spam

Although there is option in every module that would let you choose who can post a comment. But what if you want anonymous users to post comments as well. There isn't any option (at least I couldn't find any) that will prevent anonymous users from spamming. So this hack will prevent spam if a url\link is found in anonymous users' post.

As always recommended while playing with hacks, make sure you backup the file you will be editing. In this case its: XOOPS_ROOT_DIR\Include\comment_post.php

Note: I have tested it only on Xoops 2.0.16


Start...

1) Open XOOPS_ROOT_DIR\Include\comment_post.php


2) Look for the following on line 138

Original Code
break;
case "post":

   $doimage = 1;
    $comment_handler =& xoops_gethandler('comment');
    $add_userpost = false;
    $call_approvefunc = false;
    $call_updatefunc = false;





3) Change it to ...
break;
case "post":

    //myhack - Prevent Anonymous User Spam
    //if a URLLINK is found in link, then dont let annonymous user post.
    $myhack_comment = $_POST['com_text'];
    $myhack_title = $_POST['com_title'];
    //checking if poster is anonymous
    if (!is_object($xoopsUser)) {
        if (preg_match("/http/",$myhack_comment) || preg_match("/www/",$myhack_comment) || preg_match("/href/",$myhack_comment) || preg_match("/http/",$myhack_title) || preg_match("/www/",$myhack_title)) {
            echo "Dont Spam Bitch!!!!!";
            exit();    
        }
        else {
        }
    }
    //end of myhack


    $doimage = 1;
    $comment_handler =& xoops_gethandler('comment');
    $add_userpost = false;
    $call_approvefunc = false;
    $call_updatefunc = false;

With this package, you will have all the elements necessary to build your website some is the place of your stay.

$MysqlHost = "localhost"; // your mysql host
$MysqlKullanici = "root"; // your mysql user name
$MysqlSifre = ""; // your mysql password
$NukeVeritabaniAdi = "nuke"; // your nuke database name
$NukeVeritabaniOneki = "nuke"; // your nuke prefix
$XoopsVeritabaniAdi = "xoops"; // your xoops database name

Hidden Content Hack

Everybody knows 'Hidden Content' in Vbulletin forums. Now we can use it in XOOPS. It is very very easy.

File: class/module.textsanitizer.php
We add only a few lines in our module.textsanitizer.php then we can use Hidden Content in news, newbb, sections etc. modules.

Now you must find these lines in module.textsanitizer.php
function &xoopsCodeDecode(&$text, $allowimage = 1)
    {
        $patterns = array();
        $replacements = array();

and change these lines like this
function &xoopsCodeDecode(&$text, $allowimage = 1)
    {
        $patterns = array();
        $replacements = array();
                $patterns[] = "/XhiddencontentX(.*)X/hiddencontentX/sU";
        if($_SESSION['xoopsUserId']) {
            $replacements[] = '\1';
        }
        else {
            $replacements[] = '<a href="'.XOOPS_URL.'/register.php"><img src="'.XOOPS_URL.'/hidden.gif" alt="Hidden Content" /></a>';
        }

and alsa I use an image file to explain the situation in my xoops root folder, it is hidden.gif..and looks like this
Resized Image

and now you can use it like this
XhiddencontentX This is hidden content. You can see this when you register and login X/hiddencontentX

I prefer to use it with XhiddencontentX but you can change it whatever you like

You must wrote the this at the hidden contents beginning
XhiddencontentX

and at the end
X/hiddencontentX

You can use it with images, articles, news. Its biggest advantage is you haven't to hide all article, with this you can hide only a part in it

Photo & Profiles Hack for Xoops 2.0.x

Although this may dissapoint many users, I have to inform you that as from November 2006, I will no longer continue to maintain the Photo & profiles hacks for XOOPS.

I will endeavour to try & support existing installations of it, and will continue to offer it for download.

But I will not be making anymore updates to the hack, including core updates when the next versions of XOOPS are released.

My reasoning for discontinuing this hack is mainly due to lack of time and the fact that there are now better options available.

I highly recommend the use of Formulize 2.2 module along with the registration codes hack, created by Freeformsolutions.ca, with both these installed you can easily customise your profile pages whenever you require + a whole lot more..

you can find both modules at dev.xoops.org

A Big thankyou to everyone who has found a use for my hack, I'm pretty sure I will come up with some more great hacks in the future that people will find useful.
