| phpBB2 is a popular forum software, and, after e-mail, is the main target of spam.
Several methods of attaching Advanced Textual Confirmation to phpBB2 are possible. The simplest is the following. 0. Download Advanced Textual Confirmation, unpack the files the files "bbantispam.php" and "bbas_config.php", and upload the files on the server. 1. In the phpBB installation directory, open the file "extension.inc". 2. After the first string, "<?php", add the string (change "...path.to..." to the correct value)
3. Save the changes _________________ Oleg Parashchenko, bbAntiSpam Do you love our tools? Please sponsor further development! |

Yes. Instead of changing "extension.inc", change "profile.php".
No, unless you've got a standard license. Please also check the usual Textual Confirmation -- probably it's exactly what you are looking for. _________________ Oleg Parashchenko, bbAntiSpam Do you love our tools? Please sponsor further development! |

Yes. But it's a bit better to create a folder "bbantispam" in the root directory, and copy the files there. _________________ Oleg Parashchenko, bbAntiSpam Do you love our tools? Please sponsor further development! |

For 'require_once', please use not a web address ("http://..."), but a file path address. In your case, as "bbantispam.php" and "index.php" are in the same directory, the following should work:

| Yes, you can change the question.
The only limitation of the free version is that you can't change the layout of the form. _________________ Oleg Parashchenko, bbAntiSpam Do you love our tools? Please sponsor further development! |

| I downloaded Advanced Textual Confirmation and followed the exact same procedure as explained above. I don't understand why, but it's not working on my forum. Now instead of the forum I get the message "Warning: main(bbantispam.php) failed to open stream: No such file or directory". The forum has disappeared altegether! What could have gone wrong? | |

| I think you have written the wrong path to bbantispam.php, so it can't be found, so thats why you get an error message. When you ftp to your site in which folder do you have bbantispam.php?

| I have the bbantispam.php in a folder named 'bbantispam' in the 'nfphpbb' folder which is in the folder 'Forum' in the root directory. So the string I used in the extension.inc was
require_once 'Forum/nfphpbb/bbantispam/bbantispam.php'; But it's not working. The message I get on the screen is Warning: main(Forum/nfphpbb/bbantispam/bbantispam.php) [function.main]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /mnt/w0301/d17/s43/b01c6273/www/Forum/nfphpbb/extension.inc on line 3 Fatal error: main() [function.require]: Failed opening required 'Forum/nfphpbb/bbantispam/bbantispam.php' (include_path='.:/usr/local/nf/lib/php') in /mnt/w0301/d17/s43/b01c6273/www/Forum/nfphpbb/extension.inc on line 3 What should I do? |
