Hello. Following a discussion on #openguides, I've added hooks for spam detection.
The way it works is that you specify the name of a local module in your wiki.conf, and OpenGuides will check all edits against this module before agreeing to commit them. The module should provide a method called "looks_like_spam", which will be passed the content and metadata of the edit, and should return true (it's spam) or false (it's not).
An example:
package OpenGuides::Local::KakeSpamDetector; use strict;
sub looks_like_spam { my ( $class, %args ) = @_; if ( $args{content} =~ /kitten/i ) { return 1; } }
Obviously you'll want a more serious check in there :) The neat thing about doing it like this is that your spam detector module can do _anything_ you like, including, for example, logging.
Comments?
Awesome. Obviously most user will be wanting to use one or more standard spam plugin modules we provide, but this is an excellent start.
