Bad Behavior blocking forms even if it is disabled??

Post by Nik2004 »

Hi

I am using v1.3.3 (upgraded earlier from 1.1RC4). I remember that in the past I had installed (don't remember when and how) bad behavior (I think at the time it was a hack rather than a component in phpwcms) but I had removed it because it was not blocking spam. Later I used the incorporated solmetra captcha and I solved my spam problems.

Now, I noticed that when I post a form (the old form email content part as it was enhanced with a captcha) I ge the following error:
Error 403

We're sorry, but we could not fulfill your request for /unborn1/unborn/include/inc_act/act_formmailer.php on this server.

How has this issue occurred and how can I disable Bad Behavior (which I thought is inexistent)??? Note that in In conf.inc.php:

Code: Select all

$phpwcms['Bad_Behavior'] = 1; // 1 enables spam blocking by Bad Behavior, 0 off
Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

In any case, even if Bad Behavior was enabled, it should not be blocking me (the site admin) while testing the form!!??

OK I found in include/inc_act/act_formmailer.php the following line and commented it out.

Code: Select all

require_once (PHPWCMS_ROOT.'/include/inc_module/mod_bad-behavior/bad-behavior-phpwcms.php');
It works fine now. Thanks.
