Cannot believe that I forgot to release this module to the community! It was incorporated into the latest RavenNuke(tm) 2.50.00 release but then forgotten. Well, better late than never. It has been released! Please see our on-line Change Log (or that provided within the distribution package) for details as to what was modified for this release.

For a more detailed explanation of the TegoNuke(tm)/HTML Newsletter module and a more detailed list of features, check out the TegoNuke(tm)/HTML Newsletter Wiki page.

While this module was developed on RavenNuke(tm) for RavenNuke(tm), it may be possible to use on other *nuke variants with slight variations. Come get the latest download.

nukeSPAM(tm) enables site using the RavenNuke(tm) content management system (CMS) and other PHP-Nuke distributions to prevent user registration by known spammers. It features:

• Configurable blocking via 3 public spam databases and 14 DNS blacklists
• Advanced logging, reporting and false positive resolution
• Advanced whitelist maintenance
• Administrator function to check if username, email and / or IP address are blocked

Although nukeSPAM(tm) administration automatically creates the necessary database tables, integration with user registration requires code changes (instructions are included for RavenNuke(tm) Your Account).

nukeSPAM(tm) can be downloaded here. Download requires 7-zip. Free membership is required to download.

A few bugs were reported since the release of version 1.3.1 that we wanted to clean up quickly, hence this very small patch release. Since this is just a patch release, it is a simple matter of uploading a few scripts. But, please read the README.txt and UPGRADES.txt as always and it will guide you through this quick patch fix. In addition, see the CHANGELOG.txt file will list out exactly which files were added/modified/removed.

Feeling generous this time of year?  Why not throw a little bit Raven's way in support of the RavenNuke(tm) CMS that many of use each and every day.  Even before RavenNuke(tm), Raven's web site has been a generous provider of community support for PHP-Nuke and other forks for many years, with very little asked for in return.  It takes money to host such a site and it takes many volunteers to help provide the support that is there freely given.  

While PayPal is always a good way to donate to many of the great community-based projects, Flattr is another great method of passing along your thanks.  I wrote an article about Flattr several months back as a news article on this site to introduce this knew way of giving.  At the time, Raven didn't have a Flattr account, and while he does not display a Flattr button, you can always donate via Flattr to RavenWebServices (Raven) directly from the Flattr website.

The really GREAT feature with Flattr is that you can also subscribe to a "Thing" - in this case to RavenWebServices - to where the service will automatically generate a click each month for as many months as you wish, essentially acting as if you had clicked to donate each month.  If you only have a little bit to give each month, why not join up with Flattr, find the few open source projects that you find useful and use on a regular basis, and show your appreciation.  Every little bit helps and if all the RavenNuke(tm) site owners would just send a little bit each month, it would go a long way.

Now, to those who celebrate Christmas, Merry Christmas to you, and to all, have a Happy and Safe New Years!
