Can I have an option for 6 minutes and 17 seconds?

Yes, that code is correct.

And Cristián is correct too, there is no official Filter for max_ip_restriction_time, because this is a configurable option in s2Members' General Options panel.

In your case though, you are not happy with the available options; so, this code is overriding the option value dynamically. Thus, it won't show up in your options panel, because it's not an available option ( yet ).

I'm adding the 5 minute option to the next release, so this code will not be necessary in s2Member v3.6+.

Code:: add_action ("ws_plugin__s2member_after_loaded", "my_function"); function my_function () { $GLOBALS["WS_PLUGIN__"]["s2member"]["o"]["max_ip_restriction_time"] = 300; /* This is in seconds. 300 seconds = 5 minutes. */ ?>

I gathered the function from another thread that Jason posted.

I'm guessing that since the value is not in the drop-down, then it can't show it as an option. But you're forcing that value with your hack, so it is safe to assume that, as long as the code is correct, it'll do what you expect it to do. Where did you get the function that is not from this thread? If Jason gave it to you, I know it'll be correct.

It's not giving me the choice in the drop down once I load the file. Is this something that will override the 15 minute timeout?

Thanks for your help!

Hi Marc.

Yes. Without knowing if the code works or not, that's how I'd put them together in the file.

Cristian,

Does this look correct?

Thanks!

Marc

Code:: add_filter ("ws_plugin__s2member_ip_restrictions__concurrency_time_per_ip", "s2_concurrency_time_per_ip"); function s2_concurrency_time_per_ip () { return "72 hours"; } add_action ("ws_plugin__s2member_after_loaded", "my_function"); function my_function () { $GLOBALS["WS_PLUGIN__"]["s2member"]["o"]["max_ip_restriction_time"] = 300; /* This is in seconds. 300 seconds = 5 minutes. */ } ?>

You should be able to have them both in the same file without a problem.

Hi Jason or anyone else that can answer this.

I already have a s2-hacks.php file to hack the unique ip address time with the following code:

Code:: add_filter ("ws_plugin__s2member_ip_restrictions__concurrency_time_per_ip", "s2_concurrency_time_per_ip"); function s2_concurrency_time_per_ip () { return "72 hours"; } ?>

Can I add the "security breach" snippet to the same php file or do I need to create another php file inside the mu-plugins. I tried it in the same file but didn't seem to have an affect on the security breach timeout.

Thanks!

Marc

Hi Marc.

Please create this directory and file:
/wp-content/mu-plugins/s2-hacks.php

Code:: add_action ("ws_plugin__s2member_after_loaded", "my_function"); function my_function () { $GLOBALS["WS_PLUGIN__"]["s2member"]["o"]["max_ip_restriction_time"] = 300; /* This is in seconds. 300 seconds = 5 minutes. */ } ?>

Reducing Security Breach timeout

2011-04-20T14:12:34-05:00

Good Afternoon,

I successfully hacked the amount of time for the unique ip's and wondered if I can reduce the the amount of time it punishes the the offenders of link sharing. I'm looking at a 5 min punishment. Since we have a webcast going, 15 mins is like standing on the wall during a 20 min recess.

Thanks!
Marc
