[Problem] New Trackbackspam Plugin

[Shakadi]

Hy everyone,

I' ve just installed the plugin mentioned here.

Now, my friend has send me an Email concerning the unability to post comments.

If he try to post a comment, he gets this error message.

Fatal error: Call to undefined function: serendipity_serveroffsethour() in /www/htdocs/USERXXXXXX/weblog/plugins/serendipity_event_spamblock/serendipity_event_spamblock.php on line 816

Could anyone be so kind and let me know how to make this stop.

Thx

Matze

I'm sorry, it seems that the plugin was not compatible with Serendipity 0.7.

I have just patched the serendipity_event_spamblock.php file. Insert this at the top of the file:

Code: Select all

if (!function_exists('serendipity_serverOffsetHour')) {
    function serendipity_serverOffsetHour() {
        return time();
    }
}

Regards,
Garvin

I tried this and it did not help. I have the same problem. I am running v.0.7-beta3 on Godaddy servers.

[garvinhicking]

wavking, please upgrade to at least Serendipity 0.7.1. 0.7-beta3 has security issues and will not properly support the spamblock plugin.

I have the files ready to uplad but I need to be sure I am not going to write over any of the blog entries. Where are the entries stored? I AM able to access my server via ftp.

When it was created originally, Godaddy did it automatically as a free service.

wavking, the entries are stored in your MySQL database/table. So just create a DB backup dump via phpMyAdmin or something similar.
