    Salut Vincent,
    Merci pour ce plugin.
    Cependant, comment être sur que celui-ci soit fonctionnel ? Le Captcha est-il toujours nécessaire et/ou compatible avec aksimet ?
    Un petit Tuto ;)
    Merci beaucoup pour ton implication.

    hi,

    you can check if the plugin works on your website by sending a comment with "viagra-test-123" as the author.
    Akismet always detect the comment as spam.

    maybe you could read
    http://akismet.com/how/
    http://akismet.com/support/
    http://akismet.com/development/api/#comment-check.

    information :
    - with 1.0.0, the akismet key is not checked by the plugin : if the key is invalid you have a fatal error when you send a comment.
    - with 1.1.0, the akismet key is checked by the plugin in the admin tabs, so this issue is fixed.

    according to me, captcha is not necessary on comment if you use Akismet.

    and in my case, I had maybe 20 spam a day before, and now, I have maybe 1 spam a week.
    so it seems to work :-)

    be carrefull :
    - 1.0.0 : intial release for zenphoto =< 1.4.1.6
    - 1.1.0 : with improvements described above, for zenphoto >= 1.4.2 (beta included)

    Hervé Queyranne (who helps to on release 1.1.0) gives a patch on zenphoto 1.4.1.5/1.4.1.6 to use the new release of Akismet (but it's a hack of zenphoto : do that at your own risks) :

    hi

    Sometimes, I have some SPAM on my website and I notice that there is a time-out from akismet server (maybe server is too busy).

    I made some improvements on my plugin : if Akismet API key is invalid or akismet doesn't give a response to request, comments are moderated.

    before publish this new version, I need some tests :
    you can download a beta version here :
    http://www.vincentbourganel.fr/data/akismet_php5 1.2.0.RC.zip

    thanks in advance to beta users.
    please report any bugs or any troubles on forum.

    thanks !

    there is a new RC to download :
    http://www.vincentbourganel.fr/data/akismet_php5 1.2.0.RC2.zip

    I need to know if someone have some
    `====> $akismet->Exception : ...`
    in debug log (admin of zenphoto)

    follow install instructions in install.txt
  • Laurent Member
    Hi,
    At this time all works great for me. I have no error in the debug log section.

    I'll look for time to time.

    Thanks a lot

    Hi,

    I tried to comment with the 'viagra' comment and it got through.

    I installed your plugin (Thank you for this) because I am getting spam despite the captcha.

    I'm using hte same key as another sub-domain and the plugin recognised it as valid.

    Any ideas as to why it's not working? (My ISP uses php 5.2.17)

    Regards,

    David.
