Extension

Tags

This extension displays a panel containing list of suspected profile spammers in Control Panel's home page and simplifies their banning.

This extension makes a fight with profile spammers a breeze!

First, after logging into Control Panel you will see a list of suspects together with the excerpts from the content they posted into their profiles.

Second, after clicking on the link “Administer Members” in suspects panel you will land into “View Members” page where only those members will be listed which have their profiles non-empty.

Third, in “View Members” page this extension adds two search options - serching members by “Profile Updated - descendingly” and “Profile Updated - ascendingly”.

Fourth, in “View Members” page this extension adds option “Ban Selected Members”.

Fifth, in “View Members” page this extension adds option “Approve Selected Members”. Approved members will not be listed in suspected spammers pane until they update their profiles again.

Sixth, you can define what by default should be done while banning user: blacklist or not his email and IP, delete, close or leave as they are his entries, comments and forum posts. Banning particular user you can change default course of this action and e.g. blacklist his IP and email, but leave intact his posts.

NECESSARY HACK

Since ExpressionEngine does not have a hook “member_profile_updated” we need to add it by ourselves.

Open the file /system/modules/member/mod.member_settings.php in text editor and find approximately at the line 1138 (at the end of the function “update_profile”) this piece of code:


/** -------------------------------------
        /**  Success message
        /** -------------------------------------*/
    
        return $this->_var_swap($this->_load_element('success'),
                                array(
                                        'lang:heading'    =>    $LANG->line('profile_updated'),
                                        'lang:message'    =>    $LANG->line('mbr_profile_has_been_updated')
                                     )
                                );

Add above it three following lines so that the result would be this:


        global $EXT;
        $edata = $EXT->call_extension('member_profile_updated'); 
        if ($EXT->end_script === TRUE) return;
        
        /** -------------------------------------
        /**  Success message
        /** -------------------------------------*/
    
        return $this->_var_swap($this->_load_element('success'),
                                array(
                                        'lang:heading'    =>    $LANG->line('profile_updated'),
                                        'lang:message'    =>    $LANG->line('mbr_profile_has_been_updated')
                                     )
                                );
