I've just checked my Phorum DB and the phorum_spamhurdles table had 14MB of overhead (i.e. wasted space). An OPTIMISE sorted that out, but it might be worth noting in the Readme for this module that such maintenance may be required.

(I've never understood why MySQL isn't clever enough to optimise its own tables, but there you go...)

/\dam

I run this periodically via cron on my servers:
mysqlcheck --all-databases -o # optimize -a analyze -r repair

I have this message :

Quote

phorum_mod_spamhurdles_tpl_editor_before_textarea(): Can't determine whether we're editing a new message

what this ?

start with telling us what you are using and doing:
1. the thread you are posting in talks about this module on the really outdated phorum 5.1.x. Which Phorum version are you using? Which version of this module?

2. When do you get this message? What did you do to get it?

3. Did it work before and the message just happened now? What was changed?

Hi,

I've tried to use this mod to prevent the SPAM registrations for my Phorum, but as soon as I enable the Captcha Function for new user registration I got the following error message:

Warning: mysql_query(): supplied argument is not a valid MySQL-Link resource in /is/htdocs/xxx/yyyy/DAF_Forum/mods/spamhurdles/db.php on line 72
Warning: mysql_query(): supplied argument is not a valid MySQL-Link resource in /is/htdocs/xxx/yyyy/DAF_Forum/mods/spamhurdles/db.php on line 72

It is equal which kind of Captcha Code was selected. Below this error message, the Captcha information and icon was shown.

I'm using:
* Phorum version 5.2.15a
* Spam Hurdles (version 1.1.2)

The SQL table was created, but it seams that the script couldn't write any data to this table.

Any idea?

Thanks,
Torsten

Please try upgrading to Phorum 5.2.16-RC2. A fully rewritten spam hurdles module is available in that version. I have no idea if that will fix your problem (frankly, I have no idea why you see this error), but I'd rather debug and fix the issue in the new module than in the old one.

(post removed... I think I have the module working now, maybe.)

Mmm. Also got this error as reported here above when I upgraded to the latest downloadable version (on version 5.2.18).

Language: HTML
phorum_mod_spamhurdles_tpl_editor_before_textarea(): Can';t determine whether we';re editing a new message

Then I realised I have made so many changes to template files over the years and have rewritten newer template files with older ones without careful checking of what is new in the new template files.. .

So I did a complete new install of 5.2.1.8
Everything is working but this module. No error messages. Sanity check is OK. It simply does not show.

OK, it does now on the registration form.

Language: HTML
For versions 5.1.16 and higher, this code is already in the default  template.

Does this mean it is not is not in the emerald template...?

And is this is what I must add (I seem to remember from the earlier version)

Language: HTML
 {HOOK "tpl_editor_before_textarea"}
<small>{LANG->Message}:</small>

The above is what we want, not so, and it is there?

You know that you just posted in a thread for this module for Phorum 5.1?
I hope that you used the spamhurdles module that is included in the distribution.

The emerald template IS the default template and therefore it contains all needed changes.
