email received even if sentinel is totally deactivated

Hi to all.

I've totally deactivated sentinel to replace it by other protection (in the simple config, and advanced parameters, in each protection), but i still received sentinel emails blocking googlebots (not in the robots protection list).

does the condition for the write email function in the nukesentinel.php file is really applied:

php Code:

if($blocker_row['activate'] > 0 AND $blocker_row['activate'] < 6)

In the database, all datas in my activate field are well to 0...so the condition shouldn't permit that i receive these emails...

Thanks for advance.

Strange issue. Do you tried to add the output of $blocker_row['block_name'] to the variable $message inside the write_mail() function in order to check which blocker has used this function call?

For example find:

php Code:

$message .= _AB_REASON . ': ' . $blocker_row['reason'] . "\n";

and add after:

php Code:

$message .= 'Blocker: ' . $blocker_row['block_name'] . "\n";

What's the blocker 1?

Have you made changes on the sentinel-files besides the edit in this function?

$blocker_row['block_name'] and $blocker_row['reason'] should be strings and not integer values. Please re-check your changes to close out copy&paste issues. You can compare it in the db-table: nuke_nsnst_blockers, there you can find all values for each blocker-field.

I've only done the changes posted.

Blocker 1 is so a blocker abuse union.

This not what I meant because the values of both variables are shouldn't be integer values. Both are strings like what you can see in the database. There is no filter which is using integer values to "translate" in strings. The fields $blocker_row['block_name'] and $blocker_row['reason'] should be shown in your email as text not as number. So I guess somewhere in your scripts the array values of $blocker_row are overridden or the whole array will be builded in a wrong way.

gravutrad, have you resolved this issue?

Still not but isn't really grave. (sentinel should be desactived and not sending mails but it's not a big problem)
