Hiya, we have been using our licensed copy of bbAntiSpam successfully for about a year now, and it's been great. We haven't had one spurious registration since installation. Recently however we have tried to install TapTalk on the system, which allows an app based interface to forums for reading on iPhones ect. Problem is, bbAntiSpam triggers on the access from TapTalk and means the system is unusable.
Is there a workaround that would allow access to TapTalk unmolested.
thanks |

Hello,
I'm sorry for delay with the answer.
It is possible to load bbAntiSpam conditionally, but implementing this feature requires programming. On the other side, programming is quite easy, even an unexperienced web programmer should be able to implement this feature. Hint for him:
The file "bbantispam.php" starts with:
Code: | if ($_SERVER['REQUEST_METHOD'] != 'POST') { return; } |
In the same way, you should add something like:
Code: | if (working for TapTalk) { return; } |
Unfortunately, I don't know how to write "working for TapTalk". _________________ Oleg Parashchenko, bbAntiSpam

Thanks for that. I'm a PHP programmer so should be able to work it out It's just I can never find anything in PHPBB. I'll try and find out what user agent the taptalk application claims to be so we can filter on it and take it from there. I'll post here what I find
thanks |

Good luck!
I hope my assistance will not be required: I'm on vacations the nearest two weeks, and probably will not monitor the forum. _________________ Oleg Parashchenko, bbAntiSpam
