    Resolved - Product reviews & Spam

    in Technical Help

    Posted

    OK, I'll soften my previous post. In the last 20 minutes I've been able to delete 400 SPAM reviews. I'm left with 90+ I need to delete manually. Looks like most of the ones that contained asian characters were posted in groups from 3 to 12 so I was able to get rid of them pretty quickly.

     

    Checking multiple and submitting would still be better, but this new system helped a lot, so thanks to those that wrote it into the software.

    Arghhh!!!!!..... sigh.... This method of deleting reviews is barely any faster then deleting them one-by-one and hitting OK each time. At most I'm deleting 5 or 6 at a time. Spammers know to change the email address and IP address of their posts because they know they can be blocked. I've got someone that managed to post roughly 100 "reviews" of products that are ads for some cologne and managed to post them all using different gibberish email address and IP addresses.

     

    Why can't I just check a box next to each review the same way I do to approve them then hit submit at the bottom of the page to delete them all?

    hmmm. yup I found it here:

    $GLOBALS['main']->addTabControl($lang['reviews']['title_reviews'], 'reviews');
$GLOBALS['main']->addTabControl($lang['reviews']['title_bulk_delete'], 'bulk_delete');
$GLOBALS['main']->addTabControl($lang['common']['search'], 'search');

    But it still won't show up for me

    Stranger and stranger. I removed the extra <> angles as you mentioned and I found the code to display the new Bulk Delete Tab as such:

    <div id="bulk_delete" class="tab_content">
<h3>{$LANG.reviews.title_bulk_delete}</h3>
<p>{$LANG.reviews.bulk_delete_desc}</p>
<fieldset>
 <div><label for="email">{$LANG.common.email}</label><span><input type="text" id="email" name="delete" class="textbox" /></span></div>
 <div><label for="ip_address">{$LANG.common.ip_address}</label><span><input type="text" id="ip_address" name="delete[ip_address]" class="textbox" /></span></div>
</fieldset>
  </div>

    Bu that tab is still not rendering for me.

    Thanks for the responses guys. The good and the bad news is that those new fields have a display:none on them so I couldn't see them. Glad, it wasn't me missing something obvious. :-) I could try to find the code to get rid of that style, but I guess I'm curious why it's there or what I'm supposed to do to make them visible.

     

    Also, for me the IP addressees and email address are visible under each of the reviews.

    Hey Dirty Butter. I've used PHPMyAmin on occasion but the tricks are deleting only the bad reviews and deleting everything associated with the bad reviews so that I don't leave fragments in the database. If you wanted to tell me how to do that I'd appreciate it, but it may go over my head pretty quickly.

     

    I don't understand why the ability to check multiple reviews to approve them in one shot is built in, but I can't do the same to delete a few at a time. I can't be the only one getting these fake reviews (I've seen a couple of these threads around) and disabling reviews to "solve" the problems seems like throwing the baby out with the bath water.

     

    Should I file a bug report or make a feature request or anything like that?

     

    The only way I know of is to use phpMyAdmin, so you can check off the ones you need to delete in _reviews and then delete all at once - unless they are doing a lot of reviews with the same name. Then a Query might delete many at a time, without you having to read each one to decide.

    Thanks bsmither, I've implimented your code. I hope it doesn't lead to fake user registrations, but if not it should fix my problem. I havent' gotten any fake reviews in the last couple hours so that's a good sign. :yeahhh:

     

    "If I could restrict product reviews to people with accounts that would solve the problem."

     

    We need to discover if the fake reviews are being submitted by a robot or by an individual.

    I'm getting hammered with SPAM reviews right now. Disabling reviews hides all the good reviews I currently have.  I'd be willing to enable a captcha for the reviews but I don't want to put that roadblock up on orders. I'd, grudgingly, be willing to disable the creation of new reviews, if I could still display the current ones. This is something CubeCart needs to address.

    Adding A Class To the Body

    in Customising Look & Feel

    Posted

    Did you ever get anywhere with this? I'm trying to figure out the same thing right now. As far as I know the code you posted won't do anything because you need to pair the call for the Category Name to a database call that's usually in an inc.php file. Not that it's helped me solve the problem yet either.

    Did you find anything else out?

    Sorry I can't be of more help to you.

    Change county drop down for text box

    in Technical Help

    Posted

    It seems my customers are stupid, and are just leaving the default county in when registering / buying a product or a ringing and saying it's automatically showing Aberdeenshire (first UK county) on the county section. It's pretty clear that it's a drop down but there are a small minority out there who can't grasp this.

    I'm having the same problem here, and I thought it was because of stupid customers too, but it seems there is more to it than that. Something about the script that converts the the counties based on the country selected seems to be causing problems intermittently. I thought I could just change it from a pull-down menu to a text field but when the Invoice address gets sent to PayPal Pro the County (State) now gets lost and the last one in the list is put in by default. So basically I went from 30% of my customers claiming they were from Alabama to all of them being from Wyoming, sigh.

    Let me know if you found a solution and if not I'll let you know what I figure out.

    American Express Card Invalid Number

    in Technical Help

    Posted

    The new string in CC4.3 classes/validate/validateCart.php is:

    'AMERICAN EXPRESS' => '#^[34|37|47]([0-9]{14}|[0-9]{13}|[0-9]{12})$#',

    I just had a customer that had problems with her AmEx card on an order but was able to place the order with a different card. Anyone else having trouble with American Express cards using PayPal Pro via Alternative Checkout?

    Shipping by price

    in Technical Help

    Posted

    I could swear there used to be other threads dedicated to this. I'm using the by Weight shipping method as well but would like to use the by price method to offer free shipping on sales over $100 but this only works if I have byWieght disabled.

    Any way around this?

    I don't have an answer for you but this is the V4 forum, I'd search around on the V3 forum and see if there are any answers there. Also, maybe an admin will move this topic there. Otherwise I'd ask the question over there.

    Thanks for the suggestion webicon I'll look into posting that info somewhere.

    I know what you're saying Brivtech, I was dubious about using flash at first but the client wanted some life and animation on the page so I tried to give them that and still make the site functional using web standards as much as possible.

    Thanks for the feedback guys.

    I just finished my first CC4 site and it was as easy as CC3 ever was. Check it out here:

    The Estuary Shop

    Didn't need much for mods but I did use one to make the pricing more clear on the Sun Dried Sea Salt (Bags) so that the customer sees the final price instead of modifiers.

    It would be nice if CC behaved this way out of the box. I think it's a lot more clear than having customers do the math when selecting options and having no price next to the default option.

    Just my $0.02
