Using pligg (currently version 9.9.0) on
Bligg - burgerjournalistiek - artikelen delen en beoordelen we suffered, like many of you, some severe spam attacks.
Luckily, Ashdigg came with the Akismet anti-spam module to the rescue.
Problem was, however, that submitting a story became very lengthy. We sometimes had to wait more than a minute after pushing the submit button. Disabling the module turned out to be one solution.
We found a better one:
On line 141 of modules/akismet/libs/akismet.class.php:
Code:
strToUpper($type)." /{$this- >akismetVersion}/$path HTTP/1.1\r\n" .
replace this with
Code:
strToUpper($type)." /{$this- >akismetVersion}/$path HTTP/1.0\r\n"
and that's it. How one character can make a world of difference.
It was tested on
Bligg - burgerjournalistiek - artikelen delen en beoordelen and allowed us to keep the akismet module enabled.
In the hope that this can help others having similar problems. Our 2cents as thank you for developping pligg in the first place.
If found helpful, please include by default in the next version of pligg.
