You can fork a local copy of whatever theme you are using and make changes there without losing the original theme. Let us know if you need assistance doing that.

Ahh yes that's a better way to go, ok I'll give it a try next week, and if I hit hurdles I'll let you know.

thanks.

Hi Don,

Yes it was bulletproof we used to use, now using 2k11, might give it a whirl sometime but knowing me i'll end up breaking it I do love my backups tho haha

Hi Onli,

Thanks, I used to use bulletproof I think it was, but are now using 2k11, I'll have a look for pagination

cheers

In a time and theme version gone by, at the bottom of the page there was ability IIRC through a plugin, to have a quick go-to page number, but all i can get now is <<previous Page 2 of 7, totaling 32 entries next >> but i'm sure the previous old theme/version/plugin had a dropdown on the "2" listing...

Okay. Is that a modification we need to add to serendipity itself? We bundle the lib, theoretically we can patch it, though it's something to be avoided since it makes upgrading the lib more difficult. It might be easier to include a dummy resolv.conf using - as much as I despise them, and dont use...

Read access? That would not be crazy for a DNS related module, would it? I know its poor mans security, but we do use php's openbase to lock down vhosts to their own webroots, give them read access to /etc and they have half the keys to the kingdom, fairly negligible risks until someone screws up t...

OK, problem solved
bundled-libs Net DNSBL is expecting to access /etc for resolv.conf
... yeah, like hell that's happening
I modified bundled-libs/Net/DNS2.php to set a local resolv.conf in blogs web root
So its really that module at fault, not Serendipity.

Hi Noelb Awesome that you could confirm that. I don't think that the plugin is widely used, we usually recommend to run the default spamblock plugin together with spamblock_bee and spamblock_bayes. But of course the rbl plugin should work as well. https://github.com/s9y/additional_plugins/blob/mast...

I never paid attention to the wordfilters because trying to keep up with spam that way is futile anyway. But the trackback IP validation and captcha work (though captcha isn't quite effective). Most spam is caught by BEE Honeypot, then some by Protector and the rest by Bayes (catching also all set ...

There is, in plugin Spam Protector (serendipity_event_spamblock), Emergency comment shutdown. Along with the rbl version, I'm not so sure that plugin works either, I have foo;\.ru;more_foo in url and comments section and they still get through, just like the rbl plugin doesnt check rbl's. ... OK th...

3 years late to this party, but I think there should be an emergency disable all comments setting, for blogs under heavy spam attack

well ive confirmed it, I put my own IP's in a local rbl and was not checked
this plugin is definitely broken

I've set this plugin to use several DNSBL's, including an internal, it's been the same since v 2.1 recently upgraded to 2.3.5 and blog has got loads of crap getting through. I have verified most IP's tested are detected by the DNSBL when checked manually, but serendipity doesn't seem to do anything,...

is this a known issue or is something else interfering with it ? It's not a bug, it's a feature. (The border is set a part of 2k11's CSS. Some people like it, some don't, I guess.) There is a theme option in 2k11 called "Design of images in entries" which offers you three values: simple border, sha...

2.1.5 and using the 2k11 theme, all images have a border box, even those saved as transparent, load the image directly no such borders, theyve always been there since moving from bulletproof to 2k11, the styles.css seem to point it should not have a border, but... it does... is this a known issue or...
