PP 1.5. Spam and other things

[Litograph]

Hi,

after updating Pixelpost to version 1.5beta i still fight with spam troubles like many of you.I searched for some threads with this issue.

The spams have for example following sender:
*of@cyberwebserver-22.de
<ur6487@derlitograph.de

How can i block them? How can i fix the spam-thing?

First i had Pixelpost 1.4.3 and i updated it to version 1.5.
but now nothing is getting better?

Then i went to the "admin"-section > options > spam control
but how can i block them?

2.Problem: When i get REAL comments the url is not the
only thing shown. Also "<a href="

for example:
*****************
The Comment is
----------------------------------------------------------------------
comments online
by <a href='http://www.derlitograph.de' >Lito</a> - Manuel@derlitograph.de
----------------------------------------------------------------------

Thanks for your help!!

my suggestion is to first wait for the final release of pixelpost (you won't have to wait long) - and then install this: http://forum.pixelpost.org/showthread.php?t=3810

i want to install the Akismet-Addon.
But i don't know WHERE to EXACTLY put in the
PHP-code.

For example:
//include the Akismet comment filter script.
include('addons/admin_akismet_comment.php');

In the enty it says that it should be in line 990.
But how do i know where line 990 is?

I'm no programmer ;-(

Guess wait for Iron Flatline to write a better guide

[Litograph]

yes, i did it by myself ;-)
...with se.nsuo.us-guide!!!!

[se.nsuo.us]

then please write a guide :)

[Litograph]

...the guide you wrote is good.
(http://forum.pixelpost.org/showthread.php?t=3810)
The only part i would change in the description:

***
Add following Lines to index.php in the MAIN directory:
(...because i have also a "index.php" in my "admin/"-directory)

search for this Code in the index.php:
// send it to moderation if contains banned words but not black listed!
if(is_comment_in_moderation_list($message,$ip,$nam e)){
$cmnt_publish_permission = 'no';
$cmnt_moderate_permission ='yes';
}

change it into:
// send it to moderation if contains banned words but not black listed!
if(is_comment_in_moderation_list($message,$ip,$nam e)){
$cmnt_publish_permission = 'no';
$cmnt_moderate_permission ='yes';
}

//include the Akismet comment filter script.
include('addons/admin_akismet_comment.php');

In file admin/comment.php, add PHP Code:
";
eval_addon_admin_workspace_menu('admin_akismet_lin ks');
echo "

Just Before PHP Code:
<hr/>
<ul>";
if ($_GET['show']=='masked')
$moderate_where = " and publish='no' ";

What i have to say is, that i can't speak so good english and
i misunderstood some words. Don't get me wrong se.nsuo.us, your description
is very good. I'm a rookie.

Thanks very much - Don't get me wrong either I really mean't it when I said write a guide. I know that what I have written is from a slightly technical perspective.

Well hopefully there will be an easier way to integrate Akismet into PP soon, meanwhile I will incorporate what you suggest ASAP

I am apparently unable to get Akismet to work, and I assume I have installed something incorrectly. I am not the right person to write the guide. I'm also not realistically able to commit much more time to this.

for time being, a hacked version of index.php of 1.5rc1 with addon files would be a suitable solution.

Yeah, now that 1.5RC1 is out I will put out a newer version with automagic SPAM deletion included as well...
