While it has been pretty quiet around here lately (busy busy busy), it does not stop the FuCoder forum getting spammed. I am having not-so-fun time deleting hundreds of posts over the last two days (while my home Internet connection is down). Actually I didn’t click on “Delete” on each of them but a single SQL does the trick, but it is annonying nevertheless.
It turns out PunBB has pretty much non-existing spam protection. Neither are plugins of any use. The forums were opened for guest posting so people asking questions do not need to create an account, but it has been abused by the spammers (or spambots?) to flood their junks on my website.
So for now, no more guest posting on the forum — you need to register a user. It has certainly slow down the littering rate, but I know it also introduced inconvenience to those who just wish to ask one question…
Any other good light-weight open source forum software that has good spam protection?
Can’t you just tag a captcha system on there? At least it would stop the automated spam. You could also give ‘trusted’ members moderation priviledges for spam only and/or moderate before displaying.
Yes CAPTCHA will certainly help. PunBB also has a Akismet plugin now. The thing is I am too lazy to integrate it :) I’ll put that on my todo for this week…
As of moderators, there’s none. The forum here is only used for people to ask questions regarding the WP plugins or JS I’ve placed here, and I don’t want to use blog comments.
Does anyone know if and how is it possible to get no G image when the gravatar is not found (email not registered with any gravatar)?
I want to display a different avatar chosen by user, but if I put it in the “default” var, it will be cached – which I don’t want. Only found gravatars I want to be cached/shown.
Does anyone have any idea how can I get that “gravatar_id = false” from gravatar.com url?
Thanks.
I would like to get the java for scripture to work on Blogger but there is still a need to host the java, no? I do not have a server or such access with blogger, I know your post is older but the code is great (and versatile) is there something I am missing? It seemed like your post suggested it could be done on blogger.
Hi! I put your pop-up boxes on our church’s Web site because I thought they were great. I don’t know how many people have used them but I do know that they made a number of pages look crummy in comparison and I wound up redoing or at least re-formatting a majority of the pages. Now they look great (in my opinion…I don’t take credit for the “school” side of the site because I don’t deal with it unless someone asks). So, thanks for that! I regularly use Firefox and have had no problem at all. However, when checking how a new page looked in IE today, I realized that in IE the yellow boxes always open UNDER everything else. If there’s a picture or a background image, it’s underneath, sometimes just peeking out at an edge. Have you heard of this or had this problem before? I had the popup.js and popup.html at the top of the page. I even tried pulling them down and intentionally putting them in front of everything…and they still open underneath. If you know something that I just cannot think of, I would appreciate it if you could let me know. Otherwise, I guess IE people will simply be out of luck. Thanks again for your assistance!

Hello – I’m very curious on how to highlight first term in one color and second search term in another? I see in example but struggled for a couple of hours and cannot make it happen:
Test debug referrer I am using to represent real example:
‘http://localhost/checklist.php?var2temp=Dell&criteria1=minnie&sr=1';
I would like var2temp in RED and criteria1 in BLUE.
Cheers!
The script is great. However on Google chrome it church my web site. I’ll try to find a solution and publish it here.
Another comment: elementid feature is great (set the element to highlight). However, I think it will be great to have the option to set which element will no be highlighted at all
One more comment – I’ve easliy added Bing search to the script. All you need to do is add ['bing\\.', 'q'] to the Hilite.search_engines array
Hello,
I’m looking for way to use scripturizer.js script for the site of a Russian speaking church. I’m newbie to reqular expressions, so I need help modifying regex in that file.
Here is what I tried. It works for english, but not for russian text.
Can you update the regex so it would check for unicode symbols as well please? This what I found to be the issue.
Thank you,
God Bless,
Eugene.
Scripturizer.translations = { 'RUS': ['13', 'Russian Synodal Bible'] }; var vol = 'I+|1st|2nd|3rd|First|Second|Third|1|2|3'; // for testing I just left on book of mattew in russian and in english var bok = 'Матф|Mat{1,2}hew'; var ver = '\\d+(:\\d+)?(?:\\s?[-&]\\s?\\d+)?'; var regex = '\\b(?:('+vol+')\\s+)?('+bok+')\\s+('+ver+'(?:\\s?,\\s?'+ ver+')*)\\b';Here is my HTML
