Spambayes

[danst0]

Hi,

at the moment I am experiencing problems with my comment spam filter. Completely legit comments are market with a spam probability of 95% or higher... Is there a bulk method to train the filter with older comments?
I tried the recycler but a) in Safari / Mac the script seems to be overwhelmed by the number of messages and I have to stop it ("slow script" error) and b) there is no possibility to mark multiple messages there as ham?

I tried the recycler ... b) there is no possibility to mark multiple messages there as ham?

Indeed, there isn't. It's normally mostly spam in the recycler. But you can chose a few comments, restore them, and then use the buttons in the comments-section.

I can't use or test with that browser. You could try chromium, the javasript-performance is probably better in that browser.

Is there a bulk method to train the filter with older comments?

Yes. Go into the Spamblock-bayes-menu, there to database, and click the button "learn from old". This will learn old comments as ham and comments from your spamlog as spam.

Another question on the same topic:
At the moment I experience a lot of comment spam, which is assigned a too low probability (eg. 80 % or less).

1) Could I train this as spam to raise the probability?
2) If I click the valid or spam buttons nothing happens (like a confirmation) is this the designed behavior or something wrong with my backend?

1) Yes.
2) It is not intended. There should be a "load-circle" and spam should vanish afterwards. Have a look in the javascript-messages (strg+shift+j probably) and see if there is an error.

You are right, i get the following error:

/plugins/serendipity_event_spamblock_bayes/bayes_commentlist.js:222

SyntaxError: Parse error

serendipity_admin.php:740ReferenceError: Can't find variable: spam

Same error for "Valid"
The other links work well (information, edit, approve, ...)

Ok, I just checked with my test installation of s9y:

Preparation: completely new installation of the spambayes plugin, change of s9y front and backend to serendipity 2.3

Result: Same error as above for spam and ham clicks.

ps: could someone move this thread to the bugs area please?

[onli]

I think this belongs in here, as this is a plugin and not a bug of serendipity itself.

Please show me the line the second errormessage is pointing to, line 740 of your commentpage.

[danst0]

Ok here is the step by step:
In the Admin Interface I click Comments -> Result:
SyntaxError: Parse error /plugins/serendipity_event_spamblock_bayes/bayes_commentlist.js:222

Then I click "Spam" and the second error appears:

ReferenceError: Can't find variable: spam serendipity_admin.php:731

Which file should I cat? serendipity_admin does not have more than 400 lines. the comments.tpl neiter...

Daniel

When you are in the commentlist, the html of that current page is accessible via your browser, probably strg+shift+u. There the line should be present.

[danst0]

Ahh. Sure here it is (lines 731 and following)

Code: Select all

<a id="ham99"
			class="serendipityIconLink spamblockBayesControls"
			onclick="ham(99)"
			title="Spamblock (Bayes): Valid"><img
			src="/templates/default/admin/img/accept.png"
			alt="" />Valid</a> <a
			id="spam99"
			class="serendipityIconLink spamblockBayesControls"
			onclick="spam(99)"
			title="Spamblock (Bayes): Spam"><img
			src="/plugins/serendipity_event_spamblock_bayes/img/spamblock_bayes.spam.png" 
			alt="" />Spam</a>
            <span class="spamblockBayesRating">
            <a href="serendipity_admin.php?serendipity[adminModule]=event_display&serendipity[adminAction]=spamblock_bayes&serendipity[subpage]=4&serendipity[comments][99]">
                <span id="99_rating">0%</span>
            </a>

I dont know Javascript very well, but isn't the onclick just standard code (maybe a ";" missing) but it just does not find the functions "ham" and "spam"?

Daniel

[onli]

Maybe. But those are functions defined in /plugins/serendipity_event_spamblock_bayes/bayes_commentlist.js. They are probably missing because of the prior parsing-error. But line 222 contains no error i can detect...

[danst0]

Ok, the error seems to be limited to safari (most current version). firefox works...

anyone a idea why this does not work in safari? The code below seems to be faulty.

In line 222 of the bayes_commentlist.js is this code:

Code: Select all

//Something like this don't exist in Javascript
function getElementByClass(class, node, tag) {
    if (node == null) {
        node = document;
    }
    if (tag == null) {
        tag = "*";
    }
    var allHTMLTags = node.getElementsByTagName(tag);
    var classes = new Array();
    var length = allHTMLTags.length;
    for (var i=0; i < length; i++) {
        //multiple classes are in the same string, so search carefully
        if (allHTMLTags[i].className.indexOf(class) != -1) {
            classes.push(allHTMLTags[i]);
        }
    }
    return classes;
}

It's possible that one of the arguments, maybe class, is a reserved keyword in safari. Try to change the name of the arguments (in the whole function).

[danst0]

Great hint!

the "class" parameter seems to be a reserved name. changing it to "_class" or anything else works!

Can you change the source?

Daniel

[danst0]

Can I help here somehow to speed up implementation?
