 What it does:

User ID Lookup - Enter a Users ID to view all content posted by that member.

I installed it on my test site (which have never had a version of this installed before) and it looks ok.
However on my active site I failed to defuse the older version (1.13) before infusing this one which seems to have resulted in some missing index errors on line 136 of inc/functions_include.php .
Now having defused it I cannot get either 1.13 or 1.20 to infuse - I click Infuse the screen refreshes, but it still shows as not infused !!

I've fixed being able to infuse it on mine:
In the _admin Table (via phpmyadmin) I removed the Entry for 'USCT' and then it infused OK.
However the Spam Rating code still seems suspect to me. Users with just 2 forum posts (that look fine to me) are showing as high spam rate.
(See my Previous post at http://www.php-fu...st_150148)

If you have problems defusing the old version copy this into a custom page and click Preview
 Code<?php
$remove_ar = dbquery("DELETE FROM ".DB_ADMIN." WHERE admin_rights = 'USCT'");
$remove_inf = dbquery("DELETE FROM ".DB_INFUSIONS." WHERE inf_title = 'User Control'");
?>
Once done, infuse the new version.
@SG, the spam rate has nothing to do with forum posts, it runs off the users profile. This is to catch spam accounts that are just using your site to increase their google ranking.
@ GH, thanx for the locale :)

On my site users that have no Sig and no Web URL entered in their profile get a Spam Rating of 2 with the original code (seems to count each of those empty items as 1).
I have at least one user who's Signature (about 20 words) appears to have NONE of the words in the word list in either his Sig or Web URL that has shows as High Spam Rate.
Something is surely wrong with the spam_rating code, my limited testing using my changes from the other thread seem to make it work and count only the words in the built-in and site bad_words lists.

Why not a control inside in infusion_db.php ? [just for professional mentality]

@ SG, Well, whatever works for you is fine.
I've been running UC with the spam rate function here and elsewhere for 7 months now and it works as it should on all sites.
User Control was originally developed to help combat the spam wave we had last July when our new registrations per day went from 10-15 to nearly 200. Spam Rate is just a guide, it's not definitive. It's to be used in conjunction with other information to get an overall picture of an account.
Example; If "Joined" and "Last Visit" are only seconds apart, it's most likely a bot even if there's no sig.
Example;
Name: user12345
Email:
Joined: 8/03/2011 02:58
Last Visit: 18/03/2011 03:08
Web URL: http://mybigfatseosite.com/seo
Even though it generates a spam rate of only 1, I would still regard this as a spam account and kill it.
It'll also catch multi accounts using the one IP, sometimes it's a genuine reason like a school or university but generally it's not.
It's a judgement call as to whether it's a genuine signup or not. If you're not sure, leave it for a while and use the "Inactive Users" page at a later date to see if any suspects return. The bot writers are getting cleverer all the time, some bots will just sign up and return at a later date to populate the profile. Some will post a generic forum post to make it look like a genuine person.
UC was written for a standard install, there was no way I could foresee all the various modifications and other Addons that some members have. I realise it's a "reactive" system, not a "proactive" one. But, so far no one has invented the perfect spam/bot killer.

Edit:
@ GH, I've no idea why it wouldn't defuse. It's been thoroughly tested that problem never arose. It looks like SG tried to infuse without first defusing the old version. The settings field names have changed, that's why an update infuse won't work.

Perhaps it works as you you feel it should, however for me marking (and thus auto selecting accounts for blacklisting / deletion) based on what appears to me is a broken SPAM Rating system is just annoying.
I like other features of the Infusion.
It seems that we will just have to live with dis-agreeing on this aspect.

Nice infusion, works great.
I'd like to post a suggestion.
In multi_ip_lookup.php, when searching for an IP, have it work for dynamic IP's.
If you'd like I can update it for you.

Still get that error. I have shoutbox there after converting from 7.00.xx ver. but it still generates errors. Maybe I need to install some other shoutbox? If so, where to find it ? |

If you have a shoutbox installed..
open user_control/infusion_db.php
add..
Code if (!defined("DB_SHOUTBOX")) {
define("DB_SHOUTBOX", DB_PREFIX."shoutbox");
}
Temporary fix for those with shoutbox installed.
