Defensio for Pixelpost by Dennis Mooibroek of the Pixelpost team

Download Defensio for Pixelpost

Version 2.0.0, released on January 20, 2010

Requires Pixelpost 1.7+ and PHP 5.x

Features

  • Implements some of the new features of Defensio 2.0 including: malicious content blocking and blocking of URLs based their category
  • Asynchronous for improved speed
  • Spam quarantine sorted by spaminess
  • Background color applied to spam comments to increase ease-of-identification
  • Very obvious spam can be hidden from view
  • Performance statistics provided to show how Defensio is doing on your blog

Installation & Configuration

  1. Extract the zip file and copy the _defensio2.0 folder to the addon folder of your Pixelpost installation

  2. Login into your administration panel and head on over to the addon view. you should see both the front as the admin addon in the list. Make sure both addons are activated (they are by default). If you used the Akismet addon provided with Pixelpost, please disable it as Defensio is not designed to work in conjunction with another spam filter.

  3. Obtain an API key for Defensio and head on over to the Options/Spam Control page. Copy/paste your Defensio API key in the field and click Update. You should be notified if your key is valid or not.

  4. You may also set the threshold level for "obvious spam" (this can be hidden from your quarantine, at your option). We recommend you leave this "obvious spam" level at its default value (80%) until you get a feel for what a better value might be for your own purposes.

  5. Pixelpost is now protected by Defensio's enhanced spam filtering web service. From now on, all comments posted to your blog will be analyzed by Defensio and attributed a "spaminess" value that will help you sort and manage your spambox.

Upgrading

  1. Remove the _defensio folder from the addon folder of your Pixelpost installation.
  2. Follow the installation steps described above. Your old configuration is preserved and will be upgraded to reflect the changes in the new version.

Open Source

Defensio for Pixelpost is open source. You can access the source code and even modify it on GitHub.
