Hi, any news about this email notification issue :)

1. Done: Tested on different systems.
2. Status: Can’t replicate.
3. Future: When I get the time, and the financial thing corrected. I will test it some more.

Can’t see it, can’t fix it.

As clients tend to mess around with this entry, I’d suggest to tolerate double commata or trailing commata in the spam words lists, like so:

In rah_comment_spam_countspamwords, change

$spamword = explode(',',$spamwords);
foreach($spamword as $needle) {
    $i = $i + substr_count(strtolower(' '.$where.' '),strtolower($needle));
} 

to

$spamword = explode(',',$spamwords);
foreach($spamword as $needle) {
    $needle = trim($needle);
     if(!empty($needle)) $i = $i + substr_count(strtolower(' '.$where.' '),strtolower($needle));
}

…or use do_list().

Version 0.3 of rah_comment_spam released. Changelog:

• Added email DNS validation.

Jukka, I am using v0.12 on TXP Tips – I just noticed the update to v0.3 so I’ll upgrade now, but redbot had some problems commenting on the site and I wondered if you know what the error is?

Sorry, I have no idea. Might be the lenght of the message or something, or the code in the message somehow did match to the spamwords(?). The plugin has no “magic” filter or anything. It just does what is set in the preferences. Version 0.1.2 did have some matching issues with cases, but that shouldn’t be it.

Edit. Oh you mean Non-static method timezone::is_dst() should not be called statically in … …txplib_misc.php on line 1265. Didn’t see it at first look. That error is somewhat caused by TXP’s core. See:

• #217418: Timezone error while posting comments

I installed the plugin two weeks ago and limited the number of url by comment to 1. Unfortunately, I’m still having a lot of spam containing several links or URL (example : [URL=http://, [link=http://, href=“http://) and they’re not blocked. Do you have a trick to block them?

Rah_comment_spam basically just counts the amount of http:// mentioned in a comment. If the link doesn’t have http:// in it, it won’t be blocked.

If you set the Max amount of URLs: to 1, it means that every comment can still contain a single link. If you want to limit all links, value 0 (zero) should do it.

You also try to block the bracket tags by setting them as spamwords ([URL=, [link=).
