Unzip Bad-Behavior.zip

Upload the folder Bad-Behavior to yoursite.com/modules/

Go to admin> module magement> and activate the module

Open the pligg.tpl file inside your template folder and add the following line just before </head>

      {php}include('/home/www/path-to-pligg/modules/Bad-Behavior/bad-behavior-generic.php');{/php}

Don't forget to change path-to-pligg to your own absolute path.

Thanks loads for this port of BB Chuck!

For anyone that has problems after installing this with a PHP error on the include function, two things to check:

1. Clear Pligg's cache (it's amazing how often I forget to do this): just delete all the files in the /template_c/ folder.

2. When following the install instructions for the module, be aware that the absolute path to your file may not be: /home/www/path-to-pligg/modules/Bad-Behavior/bad-behavior-generic.php

The part in bold can be a number of variations. As the install instructions says, change the path-to-pligg to your Pligg's root (remove it if it's installed in the root of your site). Instead of /home/, you may need to change this to your hosting account name.

If anybody is unsure about the absolute path to use then get in touch with your hosting provider.

Or create a php file and add the following.

<?php
phpinfo();
?>

Upload it to your root directory on your account.

Go to the page [yourdomain.com]/env.php

On the generated page look for the following, it will tell you your root directory:

_SERVER["DOCUMENT_ROOT"]

Delete env.php when you get the info you need.

Stupid question - how do I know if Bad Behaviour is working properly. I installed it and it's showing under the Installed Modules in the Module Management. I also added the line, in pligg.tpl, right above </head>.

Now, having done the above, when I tried to submit a couple of porn sites under different usernames, there was no issue - the article went through and appeared under upcoming articles. How do I know if the module is working? Does it work on version 9.8.2?

Thanks!
Steve

Hi Steve
Bad Behavior isn't intended to work that way. I suggest checking out the bad behavior website to see what it's supposed to catch and not supposed to catch.
