Use only whitelist

Hello there,

i know someone asked this before.

Would it be possible to just use the whitelist with domains and/or wildcards ex. *@mail.com, @mail.com
something like that would be also really nice... @*.mail.com

It seem generic ones are already possible in the newest version, but an option for allow only whitelist and block all others is missing.

I dont think there is any component out there. I am also open for any feedback in how to change code shizzles to make it possible.

Thanks!

Erstmal herzlichen Dank für die Tolle Komponente es ist die einzigste die sich überhaupt zwischen Reg und Login einschalten konnte.

Ich suche nach einer Lösung um nur die Whitelist zu berücksichtigen und alle anderen Adressen automatisch zu blocken.

Ist dies möglich?

Hi MBE,

sorry but what you want to do has nothing to do with spambot CHECK and would render most parts of the plugin code useless. It's a totally different direction.

If you want to change the code you have to look into the spambotcheckimpl.php in the function checkSpambots. You have to return "SPAMBOT_TRUE" after the closing } of the for statement in

And of course you have to enable the generic email whitelist option.

This is not a tested solution but just a suggestion on how to approach your problem.

Hello there,

yes that did the job

After the failed registration ill get forwarded to index.php, at the end ill see the normal text for reason...

Ill remember without you workaround it stays on the same site (login/reg site) and shows the msg there.

In general with or without the workaround an option for any arcticle id where the user gets forwarded would be cool.

Is the ip blocking method still active and working with this workaround?

Thanks alot for your fast answer

Hi,

I must admit, that I have not made any changes at the plugin in a long while (mostly develop on Visforms, create Joomla! websites for customers..), so that I am no longer that familiar with any code detail.

As far as I remember, the plugin just return true (no spammer) or false (spammer) into the Joomla! login/registration process. Whether or where the website redirects afterwards depends on your settings of the Joomla! user component or login module. The plugin just uses that setting.

IP's are no longer checked. If a domain(email) is on the whitelist, the user goes through, if it s not, the user is blocked.
