No Spam on PHPLD

Okay guys, I've started working on making a copy of phpLD where spam will not be allowed
basically, I have to change the fields names from TITLE URL and DESCRIPTION to anything else, something totally random and I need some help
I need to identify the files that depend on those values
there would be:

almost all template files in the site template and core templates..
submit.php
index.php
includes/tables.php
some admin php files....

if I manage to make this will give for free to whoever can prove that has a paid licence of phpld (you show the licence and david confirms it's bought by you)

Another great deal would be if next version would come with the option for admin to set the field names on the submit page from the ACP, but until then I'd say we can try to do this

Please post here other files which depend on the velues... (would be great to have a good list)

Already tried Search and Replace in all files.. worked almost good, only that I had to take everything again after replacing...so it's not a too good way to do it

 

or you can just protect your submit page by moving it somewhere else and block it with robots.txt

 

OR phpld/coder could make it so the "submitters info" is sent after payment is completed...

Spammers dont like to pay ... lol

BUT if its a "free directory" then i agree that it would be a very good idea to make it so
that you have to "manually insert the info" rather then automatic submits as thats where
the bulk of spam comes from...

thx

Pretty cool! keep it up

 

yea well, you all said methods to block spam. I already have the method, and this one really is the best no matter what you're saying.

Will let you know when I'm done, even invite you to try to spam

Note: I used the search and replace tool after all, might be the easyest way. Anyone can help? I ended up here: Notice: SmartyValidate: [is_valid] criteria function 'isASDF' was not found. in C:\wamp\www\spam\libs\smarty\SmartyValidate.class.php on line 592 , probably something on the validator.. in submit.php, but I tried to fix everything and still not working

Edit 2: problem bellow fixed. managed to add categories in admin and submit a link. i hit on this: Fatal error: Smarty error: [in HorizontalMenuAdmin/dir_approve_links.tpl line 96]: [plugin] modifier 'ASDFwrap' is not implemented (core.load_plugins.php, line 118) in C:\wamp\www\spam\libs\smarty\Smarty.class.php on line 1095 - any ideas?

Edit 3: Fixed that one too ), it simpler than I thought. Gotta go now, I have to take my drivers licence (if i pass this exam...)

 

So by now I can add categories, add links, approve links.. have to play a bit more with the language file.. and few more tests. Probably in two days will be done

 

Pretty cool! keep it up

 

Well im sure most directory owners are awaiting

 

I abandoned this way since David said I can't share it with you guys.. but didn't abandoned the project. it might actually be much easier than expected. the only problem will be that the submitter won't even be able to submit sites using Roboform or some autocomplete plugin for firefox, so the question is after all... is this a good idea?

 

which version do you use for the PHPLD?

 

yep, pretty please share, and what phpLD version is this? (please say 2.x, although I have a horrid feeling it will be 3.x).

 

Well that would be the most logical conclusion to get people to update their scripts and
spend a few bucks for the "piece of mind" and "comfort" as well "joy" it would bring
