PHP-Nuke is a website content management systeme. To attach Advanced Textual Confirmation to PHP-Nuke, do the following:

1) In the PHP-Nuke installation directory, create the folder "bbantispam" with the the files "bbantispam.php" and "bbas_config.php"

2) To stop spam registrations

2.1) Starting from the PHP-Nuke installation directory, go to the directory "modules/Your_Account" and open the file "index.php".

(TODO I suspect that the phpBB forum is embedded to Nuke in such a way, that there is a hidden possibility to create new accounts through the forum, bypassing the standard Nuke registration process. Therefore, if spam registrations continue, put the installation code for bbantispam in "config.php", not in "modules/Your_Account/index.php".)

2.2) Change the first lines of the file from
Code:

<?php

/************************************************************************/

to
Code:

<?php include_once 'bbantispam/bbantispam.php'; ?>
<?php

/************************************************************************/


2.3) Save the changes.

3) To stop forum spam

3.1) Starting from the PHP-Nuke installation directory, go to the directory "modules/Forums" and open the file "posting.php".

3.2) Change the first lines of the file from

Code:
<?php
/***************************************************************************

to
Code:
<?php include_once 'bbantispam/bbantispam.php'; ?>
<?php
/***************************************************************************


3.3) Save the changes.

If I may be as to bold to offer a suggestion,

Since the module protects against user registration in phpnuke,
why not make only non-registered members see the confirmation whehn posting


Code:
if (!is_user($user)) {
include_once 'bbantispam/bbantispam.php';
}

Thanks a lot, nice addition! I have no experience with PHP-Nuke, therefore didn't realize it was so simple.

Thank you so much for this, I've been looking for an antibot mod for my PHP Nuke site for such a long time. This was so easy to install and yet so effective.

THANK YOU!!!

Sorry, I'm afraid I don't understand your question well. Why to re-install website? You only need to upload ATC and then change a pair of existing files.

the folder: PHP-Nuke installation directory
I have that in the folder that was used to put up the website. So I dont see how I can change that folder unless I change it and add re do everyone so that its installed with those two folder included.

Or is there somewhere I could upload these though my FTP..

Sorry, I still don't understand the problem. Let's go step by step. In the PHP-Nuke installation directory, have you created the folder "bbantispam"? Have you put the files "bbantispam.php" and "bbas_config" into it?

thats the part we are stuck at :p

I know where this folder is, the PHP-Nuke installation directory. Its in the folder I downloaded for the site. Its not on my server or anything. If I add the files to that folder it wont do any good because it will still just be sitting on my computer.

Im asking where is it on my ftp or how do I add those files to a folder I already have on the server.

Just use an FTP client. I'm afraid I'm a bad teacher and can't explain the details. Find a student, give him a beer, and you'll get the things done.
