Need To Black List Customer
Hi
I need to stop a particular customer from using my site. Is there any way to create a stop within cpp5 with a modification. This may seem strange but I have a very difficult customer who I have already blocked via IP but hes gone to an internet cafe and accessed there.
We have a thriving business but this guy makes an order then immediatley complains to the payment provider before order arrives or goods are received.
Any ideas appreciated.
Regards
mikejf

You can block every IP address you want by using the file.

That's the easiest, most effective way to do it. Here's a sample you can put in your web root directory (this is the entire contents of the file):
Deny from 192.168.0.1
(Replace the IP with the IP of the user you're trying to ban).

If he moves around to different computers then banning by IP will not work very well.
Does he use the same credit card number?
Perhaps in the routine that processes the CC card you can look for that number and then do something.

This is true - especially if they come in through a proxy server where the IP changes. The problem is that the IP is the only true measure of who you are. I guess we could do something with cookies - how can you identify the user?

As Nick stated in this quote, your .htaccess file should have the following in it:
Deny from 192.168.0.1
(Replace the IP with the IP of the user you're trying to ban).
You can find the .htaccess file in your root html directory and may have to set your FTP program to view hidden files. On some FTP programs, you can type -la in a small window to make it view the hidden files. Depends on your FTP program. Look in the help file for the program you are using.

Google for htaccess. You will find more information than you know what to do with.
