Email Notifications

[tj.baker]

Hello,

First of all I have to thank you for the great service.

I have some pretty basic noob questions so please bare with me.

I have set the code to have email notifications, however, I didn't see where to assign an email address to notify.  Does that come from the API?
I have the code implemented in our SMF install and I'm not sure if it's working correctly or if we are just getting hit (daily) by bots that are not in the database yet.  I would like to know if some are getting blocked but I've not received any email notifications if they are.

Thanks again for the fantastic service, and for any input for the noob

peace,

tj

See line 50 of botscout.php;

Code: [Select]

// if sending alerts, send them to what email address?
$toText = "you@yourEmail.com";

Thanks...

I think I need to do a reinstall of everything and check my SMF registration code.. I was in a hurry when I set this all up and don't think I did it correctly (I obviously missed the email line )

Thanks for your help... you guys rock!

peace,

hehe no worries

I just downloaded the latest version of BotScout.php which looks to be much more than the BotScout.php file that included when you download the SMF plugin ..... is that by design?  Should the php file in the SMF plugin be the same as the stand alone download?

I didn't actually write them so am unsure, but would expect they should've been the same (Mike should be along shortly to clarify this)

Kewl....

While you're here... how can I test to make sure the code has been set up properly and without getting myself added to the database?

Tks!

Change the following value to '1'

Code: [Select]

$diag = '0';

Helloooo,

Ok.. thanks...

one more question just to be a pita

what does that do precisely ?

tks!

When set to 1, it will show you the data sent and received to/from the BotScout server

Awesome... thanks so much for your help.

It appears that the info is being queried, which is a good sign methinks

Now to start blocking those annoying bots....

cheers,
