Spam be gone plugin.

[a_5mith]

@julian I believe it has, according to Baris' post - seems I missed it.

[psychobunny]

Think I'll spend some time today on a Q&A plugin for the registration form. It's probably about time that one was built for NodeBB

[psychobunny]

okay, done: https://community.nodebb.org/topic/2187/question-and-answer-plugin-for-the-registration-form

EDIT: @julian

It's possible that if spam-be-gone was updated to be 0.5.0 compatible, it would break compatibility with v0.4.3,

I looked over his code, it should work with both before and after the change for captcha to regFormEntry

[baris]

@psychobunny then people might have latest vanilla which only has regFormEntry and spam-be-gone sends in captcha in the latest published version. No captcha will show up in that case. When @bentael publishes latest version it should be fine.

[psychobunny]

Ah yeah, good point.

[bentael]

hey gaiz, sorry still in Lebanon, slow connection.

anyways, im confused.

spam-be-gone sends in the regFormEntry in its latest and it was already published 15 days ago. are u using 0.2.1 ?

I just tested [email protected] with [email protected] and it works fine

The only scenario where I think it might not show up is if you're using [email protected], nodebb 0.5.0-2 (which sends in regFormEntry ) but an older version of vanilla, which uses still uses captcha in its template

[bentael]

I suggest

rm -rf node_modules
npm install
npm install nodebb-plugin-spam-be-gone

Why would you delete everything in the node_modules folder first? Seems like attacking a fly with a bazzuca to me. It would delete the rest of your custom plugins along with it...

[a_5mith]

@Tanner I agree,

npm rm nodebb-plugin-spam-be-gone
npm install nodebb-plugin-spam-be-gone

Would do the same thing without removing all other plugins.

[bentael]

lol'd at

attacking a fly with a bazzuca

ok, you're right. My point was to update vanilla, so try this

rm -rf node_modules/nodebb-theme-vanilla
npm install nodebb-theme-vanilla

[baris]

Updated this forum to 0.5.0-2.

I thought this was fixed no?

But yeah spam-be-gone is on 0.2.1 vanilla is 0.0.130, seems to work.

[bentael]

that's layout issue was "fixed" but I didn't cross-browser test it.
which browser you're on?

Im on Mac Chrome latest, Mac FF 30 and it looks fine

however, IE and Safari throw an error:

"Promise" is undefined

track issue here: https://github.com/akhoury/nodebb-plugin-spam-be-gone/issues/15

[baris]

I'm on win 8 chrome 36.0.1985.125, maybe my window is just not wide enough, its at 1280px wide in that screenshot.

[a_5mith]

Can confirm it looks fine on Windows 7 running Firefox 31.0

[gaasg]

Is there any chance in the future this plugin can support a different captcha like keycaptha or something else?

[a_5mith]

@gaasg don't use the captcha part, captcha is the most annoying and yet least useful method of verifying a user. Most captchas are breakable now anyway.

Get project honeypot running, then use the Q&A plugin, ask a good question relevant to your chosen forum, don't ask mathematical questions. Mine is "type 'this word' into the box provided".

[Nicekiwi]

looks like its borken in 0.5.x, admin page hits a 404 error

[bentael]

@Nicekiwi are you on master? I just tested it with 0.5.0-4 and it's working?
can you try running your nodebb instance with the dev flag

NODE_ENV=development node app

[bentael]

so I just fetched upstream and I got a new tag, v0.5.0 and I can confirm the 404 bug, @Nicekiwi

is 0.5.0 newer than 0.5.0-4 ?

[bentael]

should be fixed. use 0.2.2

it was the actions:app.load hook which changed to static:app.load, the latter required a callback.
