Title: MT-Blacklist Updater Summary: A simple PHP script that keeps your MT-Blacklist setup updated with the latest blacklist. Author: Cheah Chu Yeow (http://blog.codefront.net/) Email: Please send comments, bug reports, etc. to redemption@codefront.net Website: http://blog.codefront.net/scripts/blacklistupdater/ Version: 0.2 Date: 21 May, 2004 License: GNU General Public License DESCRIPTION A simple PHP script that updates your blacklist with changes from the blacklist changes RSS feed (http://www.jayallen.org/comment_spam/feeds/blacklist-changes.rdf). REQUIREMENTS PHP A server that supports cron (or similar scheduling functionality) INSTALLATION 1. Unarchive the package you downloaded. It will unarchive into it's own blacklistupdater/ directory. 2. Open updateblacklist.php in a text editor. Look for this line at the top: define( 'SCRIPT_PATH', '/path/to/blacklistupdater/' ); Replace '/path/to/blacklistupdater/' with the full path to where updateblacklist.php is found on your web server. Look for these lines near the top: $mt_username = 'YOUR_USERNAME'; $mt_password = 'YOUR_PASSWORD'; Replace 'YOUR_USERNAME' with your Movable Type username and 'YOUR_PASSWORD' with the corresponding password. You can also create a new Movable Type user for your blog without any posting rights for added security . Next, look for this line: $mt_blacklist_url = 'http://yourdomain.com/path/to/mt-blacklist.cgi'; Change this to point to the URL to your mt-blacklist.cgi file. Save your changes. 3. Upload everything to your web server. To keep it simple, you should just upload the blacklistupdater/ directory. NOTE: this doesn't have to be placed under your webroot - place it wherever you like. However, if you want to be able to run the script as you like it (instead of depending on cron), you have to place it under your webroot and just access http://yourdomain.com/blacklistupdater/updateblacklist.php via a web browser. 4. You have to set up a cron job like 0 */2 * * * /path/to/php /path/to/updateblacklist.php which will update every 2 hours. cPanel and other hosting control panels often provide a cron job section which makes it easy to setup cron jobs. You can also Google for cron job tutorials (http://www.google.com/search?q=cron+job+tutorial). 5. Update your MT-Blacklist with the latest master blacklist at http://www.jayallen.org/comment_spam/blacklist.txt. Aaaaand you're done! Sit back and let it work (yes, this time it works!). DEPENDENCIES MagpieRSS (http://magpierss.sourceforge.net/) is required (it's bundled with the package you downloaded - there's no need to get it yourself). Snoopy (http://snoopy.sourceforge.net/) is also required and the bundled copy includes a bugfix courtesy of Gene Wood.
