The Little Guy Posted May 17, 2011 Author Share Posted May 17, 2011 I started to work on a new design: http://www.cleep.us/index2.php Which one do you like better? Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/236603-cleep/#findComment-1216555 Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Little Guy Posted May 18, 2011 Author Share Posted May 18, 2011 Okay, I removed the first layout, and links 1 and 2 are the same layouts. I would still like some feedback!

malinens Posted May 18, 2011 Share Posted May 18, 2011 This background on top of page looks too big. It would be good if there was an option to hide it. Footer looks empty...

JonnoTheDev Posted May 18, 2011 Share Posted May 18, 2011 My god. I would definately get some security in on your register, login & post link forms. This will be a goldmine for backlink spammers.

JonnoTheDev Posted May 18, 2011 Share Posted May 18, 2011 At least a captcha (you have a link to one in your footer). I would probably use ReCaptcha. A Javascript salt value, maybe http://plugins.jquery.com/project/sha1.

The Little Guy Posted May 18, 2011 Author Share Posted May 18, 2011 Okay, tell me how this sounds (already in place): I made a hash (random sha256) via php and saved it in a session, then set that as a javascript value, which then populates the forms on the page. when the page gets submitted, it compares the field against the session value. if they don't match then redirect them. if they do match allow them to proceed with what they were doing.

The Little Guy Posted May 18, 2011 Author Share Posted May 18, 2011 Once a user registers, an email with a password is sent to them, they must use that password and when they log in they must reset the password to something new.

QuickOldCar Posted May 18, 2011 Share Posted May 18, 2011 Do you realize that your title to the links differ from the location of the link, it's off by one, the following description belongs to the link above. Edit: Actually there's different links with different order of descriptions, they are there on the page, just not in correct orders.

The Little Guy Posted May 18, 2011 Author Share Posted May 18, 2011 I know, I changed the way stuff works, which screwed up most links, it was mostly for data tracking. Before I was tracking each url as a group, now I am tracking by each members url, which messed older data links up. I am going to clean the database, to see if it still works.

JonnoTheDev Posted May 18, 2011 Share Posted May 18, 2011 Once a user registers, an email with a password is sent to them, they must use that password and when they log in they must reset the password to something new. A simple bot could perform that task, however it may deter. A site like yours will have to be heavily moderated. If you look at similar sites using the likes of Pligg, PHP Dug, Scuttle they get spammed to death. The sites that use the likes of ReCaptcha don't so much, however there are some tools, desktop apps that can get through. Do what you can & see how it goes.

The Little Guy Posted May 18, 2011 Author Share Posted May 18, 2011 What if I use flash to create a socket connection between me and the client and the server. - Client loads a flash file - flash creates a connection with the server - javascript sends urls to the flash file - the flash file sends data to the php socket file - the file does what it does now - sends back info to the flash - flash posts back to the javascript - the javascript writes it out to the screen this will require the bot to have to do the following: 1. process javascript 2. use flash to create a socket connection 3. enable the usage of flash to talk to javascript and vise versa What do you think of that?

JonnoTheDev Posted May 19, 2011 Share Posted May 19, 2011 Never heard of that one. To be honest I would steer clear of flash unless you use it for advertising. Javascript/AJAX, Captcha, email validation is enough to stop (well make it difficult for) a bot unless it is a desktop application, and since yours is a niche site and not a script that will be installed on thousands of domains I'm guessing nobody will build an app to crack yours. However as you have it now, I could construct a bot in 5 minutes to start posting all kinds of links on your site.

Add all your bits and pieces and then i'll test it. 5 minutes was a bit of an exageration lol, however it wouldn't take very long to complete your forms, read the email & extract data then login using a simple script.

QuickOldCar Posted May 19, 2011 Share Posted May 19, 2011 If you need lists of domains to crawl let me know, I have 100 million+++. I systematically crawl the lists with curl for the DynaIndex. But I also have a link ripper crawler too. http://get.blogdns.com/dynaindex/ripper/ It sorts any link it finds and saves it to it's main domains folder. Something like this: http://get.blogdns.com/dynaindex/ripper/?domain=about.com It's a text file based system I came up with. I don't save titles for urls because all the sites rename them to whatever they want. I have other ways to show the original and exact title for the url. I just didn't finish everything I wanted to do with it yet. Here's a very nice open source search crawler I used a few years ago. http://www.sphider.eu/ Just add any domains want to crawl, set the link depth level and let it go. I may just incorporate this into my links ripper one day. If you want to search lists from alexa,dmoz,whois by a word or words in the domain name, and also being able to exclude words, you can use my crude domains search I made. http://get.blogdns.com/dynaindex/urls/ I really think switching to cassandra as the database is the way to properly do all this, and using python for for the search. There is an insane amount of links on the net. A few little niche sites may be better.
