Hi,

Our guests should be able to post our software version numbers which are like 3.0.0.59.

Links rejector denies these as IP addresses. How can we change that to allow postings?

Bye

Hi!

An easy way: in "functions_bbas.php" comment out this code fragment:
Code:

// or IP format)
$host     = "(?:(?:".$host.")|(?:[0-9]{1,3}\.[0-9]{1,3}\.[0-9]{1,3}\.([0-9]{1,3})))";


The right, but harder, way: define a callback function "bbas_filter_contacts". Let this function remove version numbers from an array of contacts.

Happy New Year!

Ok.
