[FIXED] Sentinel Banned IP Address Block Problem

Posted: Sun Oct 17, 2004 4:23 am

Hi

I think I inherited this problem for 2.0.2, but here goes anyway.

Since installing NukeSentinel on my site, all logged-in users have seen the banned "reason" regardless of what I set things to in the configuration screen.

This problem seems to have carried over with my now fully functional 2.1.0 installation.

My question:
What do I need to check (or change) to ensure that the blocked reasons only appear in the scrolling banned IP block for persons logged in as administrators?

Also, I'm having this same difficulty in reference to the DNS lookup information from the block... I just can't shut if off regardless of NukeSentinel Administration menu settings.

I'm running 7.4 Patched.

Ideas?
Thanks!

First let's handle the email lookup. In your database browse the nuke_nsnst_blockers table. Check the column of email_lookup and set them to 0 and see if that doesn't turn them off.

Next browse the nuke_nsnst_config table and check to see what it has the display_reason set at. 0 = No-one, 1 = admins only, 2 = members, and 3 = everyone.

Hi Bob

All email_lookup were already set 0 (I never turned this on due to issues reported when NukeSentinel was first released)

display_reason also already set to 0 (I've tried everything to try to turn this off, but for the life of me can't figure out what's going on... pondering if it is block coding permissions)

I still have items linking and displaying reasons in the block for any registered user. Anonymous users only see the numbers (no dns lookup and no reasons)

Other Ideas?

Update: I don't know why (I'm supposing purposely)... but to date, I've never seen tracking reasons or DNS lookup enabled when logged in here at Raven's.

For some reason, tonight I am. This must be a new change since even after seeing the 2.1.0 final scrolling block here, I never saw this stuff until the last hour or so....

Just a heads-up.... I'm assuming maybe this is the case because folks are working on addressing my problem, but thought I should give a heads-up about it in case it's not.

Thanks

This is a long post but it has the two corrected blocks in it.

Corrected block-Sentinel.php:

Code:
