Show Spiders on ForumHome

[amykhar]

Show the spiders browsing your board in the What's Going On box of your Forum Home Page.

This is, unfortunately, still a code mod. The code to find is different in 3.6 and I have updated accordingly.

I have not included directions to use this with any portals.

[hotwheels]

Thanks amykhar............i love this mod.

[amykhar]

Glad you like it :)

Amy

[The Free Bird]

very nice

[Brandon Sheley]

thx for making this compatible with the new vb

cheers :)

[Coast to Coast]

Installing this for the Coast community - I like to see how many or each bot are on at any given time.

[A_N_K_A_R_A]

thanks nice

[Snake]

Thanks for the 3.6 version of this hack! :)

[Bubble #5]

Show the spiders browsing your board in the What's Going On box of your Forum Home Page
Isn't this part of 3.6.x?

[amykhar]

That's on the who's online page Bubble.

[Bubble #5]

OK thank you for the clearification.

[Red Matrix]

Installed, now lets see if it works. Just waiting for spiders...

[Ig@r]

Too bad it is not a plugin (product). Hate to do code changes on 3.6

[Bubble #5]

Too bad it is not a plugin (product). Hate to do code changes on 3.6
Actually it's not that bad, but you might want to wait until 3.6 goes gold because otherwise all your edits will get overwritten. I agree a plugin is always best, especially when switching from one version to another. Maybe one day someone will make a hack that remembers all your plugins and allows you to click one place to reimport them all at the same time ;)

[amykhar]

At some point, I'll study how to use the plugins to dynamically write to templates. Then, I can turn this into a product that will add one extra query whenever your forumhome loads. This version is optimized and doesn't add any queries.

[mcyates]

thanks great hack.

[rob30UK]

it's a damn shame this isnt a product as I would clicked install right away.

[rob30UK]

Maybe one day someone will make a hack that remembers all your plugins and allows you to click one place to reimport them all at the same time ;)

... now that is a good idea!

[jacki]

Parse error: parse error, unexpected T_DEC, expecting T_VARIABLE or '$' in xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx\forum\httpdocs\index.php on line 381

????

[rob30UK]

Amy... I'm almost certain this is possible without code mods.... and I know also that if you cant do it, then very few can....

Whats going on? why the *lazy* code? (no offence.... just trying to kick yer butt coz I want this!!)

[Mastar]

Too bad it is not a plugin (product). Hate to do code changes on 3.6

Me 2, I've installed this hack before but I can't do the files edits anymore... lol:)

[Jim O]

Installed with some minor template modifcations to give partial functionality/compatibility to vBadvanced.

[Nwras]

Hi ...

But Thise Hacks Make The Forum Very slow

thank you ..

Best Regarde ..

Nwras

[amykhar]

It's never affected the speed of my board and I've used some variation of it for several versions of vbulletin.

[Mudvayne]

Workin fine on RC3.. Thnx amykhar :)..

[Eric]

Thanks amy, installed. The only mod i've installed that makes code edits (I usually stay away from those..) ;)

@rob30UK - I've taken a look at the code myself, and honestly - I see no way to do it.

But if anyone can do it, feel free to prove me wrong :D

[dn lodge]

-waiting for the plugin version

[rogersnm]

1 thing for 3.6 gold instead of doing: Find:
----------------------
$forumusers = $db->query_read_slave("
SELECT
user.username, (user.options & " . $vbulletin->bf_misc_useroptions['invisible'] . ") AS invisible, user.usergroupid,
session.userid, session.inforum, session.lastactivity,
IF(displaygroupid=0, user.usergroupid, displaygroupid) AS displaygroupid
FROM " . TABLE_PREFIX . "session AS session
LEFT JOIN " . TABLE_PREFIX . "user AS user ON(user.userid = session.userid)
WHERE session.lastactivity > $datecut
" . iif($vbulletin->options['displayloggedin'] == 1 OR $vbulletin->options['displayloggedin'] == 3, "ORDER BY username ASC") . "
");


Replace With:
----------------------
$forumusers = $db->query_read_slave("
SELECT
user.username, (user.options & " . $vbulletin->bf_misc_useroptions['invisible'] . ") AS invisible, user.usergroupid,
session.userid, session.inforum, session.lastactivity, session.useragent,
IF(displaygroupid=0, user.usergroupid, displaygroupid) AS displaygroupid
FROM " . TABLE_PREFIX . "session AS session
LEFT JOIN " . TABLE_PREFIX . "user AS user ON(user.userid = session.userid)
WHERE session.lastactivity > $datecut
" . iif($vbulletin->options['displayloggedin'] == 1 OR $vbulletin->options['displayloggedin'] == 3, "ORDER BY username ASC") . "
");

you should do

Find:
----------------------
$forumusers = $db->query_read_slave("
SELECT
user.username, (user.options & " . $vbulletin->bf_misc_useroptions['invisible'] . ") AS invisible, user.usergroupid,
session.userid, session.inforum, session.lastactivity,
IF(displaygroupid=0, user.usergroupid, displaygroupid) AS displaygroupid, infractiongroupid
FROM " . TABLE_PREFIX . "session AS session
LEFT JOIN " . TABLE_PREFIX . "user AS user ON(user.userid = session.userid)
WHERE session.lastactivity > $datecut
" . iif($vbulletin->options['displayloggedin'] == 1 OR $vbulletin->options['displayloggedin'] == 3, "ORDER BY username ASC") . "
");


Replace With:
----------------------
$forumusers = $db->query_read_slave("
SELECT
user.username, (user.options & " . $vbulletin->bf_misc_useroptions['invisible'] . ") AS invisible, user.usergroupid,
session.userid, session.inforum, session.lastactivity, session.useragent,
IF(displaygroupid=0, user.usergroupid, displaygroupid) AS displaygroupid, infractiongroupid
FROM " . TABLE_PREFIX . "session AS session
LEFT JOIN " . TABLE_PREFIX . "user AS user ON(user.userid = session.userid)
WHERE session.lastactivity > $datecut
" . iif($vbulletin->options['displayloggedin'] == 1 OR $vbulletin->options['displayloggedin'] == 3, "ORDER BY username ASC") . "
");

The difference is you need to add ", infractiongroupid" to the end of the select.

[rogersnm]

when all of you say whats with the lazy code it's actually you being lazy because you can't be bothered to do something manually for once.

[ssslippy]

How do I edit the phrase, vbulletin does not let u do in the control panel.

~Edit, went in and manually chaged the MySQL statement

[RaceJunkie]

when all of you say whats with the lazy code it's actually you being lazy because you can't be bothered to do something manually for once.


Exactly right..I have always liked the code edits:cool:

Keep up the great work amykhar

[Phaedrus]

Does this show the bots to the users too?

[amykhar]

Yes, it does.

[Phaedrus]

Mine is counting all wrong on the front page... It shows 1 Member too many Guests and no spiders when there is actually a totally different number when you look in Who's Online... Only the Who's online is accurate.

[Phaedrus]

Somehow I overwrote something wrong in the index.php. I have uploaded the original version, and uninstalled the rest of the Mod until I have more time.

[Phaedrus]

Now I can click Install... Working great. I even caught one spider... :)

[Ig@r]

Now I can click Install... Working great. I even caught one spider... :)
I just caught a fly.... (cause waiting for the plugin version) :D

PS I don't mind to edit templates, but refuse to edit files, because it makes upgrades painful.

[amykhar]

Igor, you could wait forever. Just sayin. I don't personally need a plugin version and I work two jobs. I generally code only what I personally need and use.

[Kirk Y]

Didn't Kirby release a Plugin version of this for 3.5 in your 3.5 Spiders on Forumhome thread?

[asj]

thanks so much

[Algren_San]

Didn't Kirby release a Plugin version of this for 3.5 in your 3.5 Spiders on Forumhome thread?

he did but it does not work on 3.6.x

[Kirk Y]

I realize that, I'm saying that it could most likely be adapted...

[amykhar]

If I recall correctly, it was only a plugin for part of the mod and not the full functionality.

[Kirk Y]

It still required a file edit, if that's what you mean -- but it was just an addition to the list of special templates pulled from the datastore.

[JokeAss]

Well, I am just a bit n00b... What's the diff between the vBulletin show spiders and this one? I believe both put into the users online thing?

[Funboy]

Hi,

nice hack which I have working fine within VB I do however have an error within my portal vBadvanced CMPS any idea what I need to change to correct the error below.

14 members and 5 guests and [ARG:3 UNDEFINED] spiders

I know you posted I have not included directions to use this with any portals. Do I take it we can't patch it across or is it just your not wishing to support portals which I can understand

thanks

[rogersnm]

you need to add a variable to the phrase. Like you did for the forumhome template.

[rogersnm]

Mine is counting all wrong on the front page... It shows 1 Member too many Guests and no spiders when there is actually a totally different number when you look in Who's Online... Only the Who's online is accurate.

Not quit the same with me: Forum Home: 24 members and 0 guests and 0 spiders online.php: 24 members and 234 guests and 0 spiders

@ JokeAss:
vB doesn't show spiders on forum home.. vB doesn't count spiders.. It just counts members & guests both in forumhome & whois online..

[Funboy]

Icy and rogersnm,

Many thanks ;)

I do however still have a problem as shown below. It now shows the word spider correctly but not the number next the spider?

Funboy, bumpernick, Yahoo! Slurp

[rogersnm]

There is one reason why that won't work. You did all the template edits in index.php to add the info needed to define the variable $numberspiders. You havn't changed the vBA file to define that that variable.

[Brandon Sheley]

That's great and I like this. So I can better imagine how Bots when visit my Board :) Installtime about 15 mins. and I learned something ;) Thank you!

[Snake]

Thanks for the 3.6 port! :)

[HellBoy]

Could anyone tell me where to find adv_portal_onlineusers? I've searched around in both the templates and phrases, yet I can't seem to find it.

[Snake]

Do a search in the templates. Ain't that hard. ;)

[HellBoy]

Do a search in the templates. Ain't that hard. ;)I've already tried this, but either my search function or my brain is busted. When I do a Template Search, I get returned to the Style Manager without showing any results.

[EDIT: Apparently I don't have any adv_portal_onlineusers, as I got results showing up when I searched for "postbit".]

[hotwheels]

Thanks amy, this is such an awesome mod...

[globalmoney]

On 3.6.0 Released, works orderly?

[amykhar]

Yes, it does.

[globalmoney]

Ok, thank you. :)

[rogersnm]

Yes, it does.
It doesn't for me. It messes up the count of guests and doesn't show any spiders.

[amykhar]

When the count is messed up, check the placement of your initialization code and your counting codes. If you put things in the wrong spot of a loop, the numbers can get out of whack.

Also make sure you haven't installed any other mods that may use the same variables.

I just reinstalled it on my forum with 3.6 released, and it's still working as written.

[rogersnm]

Ok, i'll try it again soon and get back to you. Have you updated the query to make it gold compatible?

[amykhar]

No, I didn't update the directions. All that really needs to be done in the query change is to add the session.useragent in there.

[rogersnm]

and the infractiongroupid

[amykhar]

No, what I mean is to change the existing query on whatever version you are using the mod on, simply get the session.useragent in there. ;)

[revolver]

Amy.

Just to let you know it's working great on my board too (I just installed it). I concur with the other member on the board who said it takes about 15 minutes.

Also for those wanting to know where the x_members_and_y_guests phrase is in your phrase manager. It's page 32/33 (unless you have more than that of course) of the GLOBAL phrasetype. It's the only part of the instructions that wasn't intuitive.

Well done Amy great hack.

[amykhar]

searching for the phrase title will bring it right up. :) You can search the phrase by title or the words in the phrase. It makes it easy to adjust any phrase

[vwdforum]

Installed on mine! Thanks very much its great

[vwdforum]

Just checked and this appears, in current users

[ARG:3 UNDEFINED] spiders

Any idea what it means and how to fix it?

Mal

[amykhar]

Make the template edits.

[vwdforum]

It was working fine, showing google and msn bot

Do you think its when a spider it does not recognises searches?

[vwdforum]

Having check again its only a problem on my homepage, not the forum page

I've done a search and found this on my home page vBadvanced CMPS in adv_portal_onlineusers

I've added 3="$numberspiders" below where I think it should go however it still shows the same. Any advice please

<tr>
<td class="thead"><span class="smallfont"><phrase 1="$numberregistered" 2="$numberguest" 3="$numberspiders">$vbphrase[x_members_and_y_guests]</phrase></span></td>
</tr>
<tr>

Excellent!

Works just fine, shame not having the numbers on the home page but I can live with that!!

Mal

[mac27]

So can you color the spiders or make them a group. I was thinking of adding them to my legend that shows who is online.

[amykhar]

You can, but you have to modify the code. If you know how to code, yell and I'll point you to the section you would need to work in.

[Zia]

by the way..spiders visited today..can it be listed in "Users visited Today" block and "show spider browsing thread" too?

[mac27]

Hey Amy I don't want to yell to loud. LOL Thanks and yes could you point me in that direction. :)

[Ronak]

gr8 mod...Installed ;)

[amykhar]

by the way..spiders visited today..can it be listed in "Users visited Today" block and "show spider browsing thread" too?
Yes, it can be done, and I had it done on my site at one point. I'll look into putting it back on my site and then will add it into the install directions here.

[amykhar]

If you want colored spider names (and I'm NOT supporting this part) here's what you do:

Find:

while ($spidername = current($spiderlist))
{
if ($spidername > 1) {
$loggedin['musername'] = trim(key($spiderlist)) . "(" . $spidername.")";
}
else
{
$loggedin['musername'] = trim(key($spiderlist));
}
$loggedin['userid'] = 0;
eval('$activeusers .= ", ' . fetch_template('forumhome_loggedinuser') . '";');
next($spiderlist);
}


Replace it with (for example):

while ($spidername = current($spiderlist))
{
switch($spidername)
{
case "Google": $spidername = "<span style='color:blue;'>$spidername</span>";
break;
case "Yahoo": $spidername = "<span style='color:red;'>$spidername</span>";
break;
}
if ($spidername > 1) {
$loggedin['musername'] = trim(key($spiderlist)) . "(" . $spidername.")";
}
else
{
$loggedin['musername'] = trim(key($spiderlist));
}
$loggedin['userid'] = 0;
eval('$activeusers .= ", ' . fetch_template('forumhome_loggedinuser') . '";');
next($spiderlist);
}


Of course, you will have to look at the exact spider names and decide what colors you want the spider to be. The code I posted is just a general idea of how to go about it.

[rob30UK]

I would be most grateful for this hack, but feel there must be a way without edits.

Has anyone any idea how this can be ported to require no code changes.

[mcyates]

this does not work with vbulletin version 3.6.1.

[Snake]

Of course it does. I'm running it just fine on my 3.6.1 forums. :)

Hi

I've installed this and my index who's on line is different than my online.php page.

My online.php page is showing 1 member and 5 guests.

I'm running v3.6.1

Any help

I have a small problem - there's a space before each comma in the list (forum index). Have checked my install and seems ok - any clues? (v 3.6.1)
A cause of this (in Firefox at least) is if
AdminCP > vb options > General Settings > Add Template Name in HTML Comments
Is set to yes. It inserts html comments between each name and Firefox spaces it.

[Pottsy]

Mine is set to "No" and the problem is there in FF and ie...

[bairy]

I was just returning to update. It's down to a line break.
Edit the forumhome_loggedinuser template, remove the line break after the </if>

[AMD_Warrior]

Im getting this when i click whos online on my board

Reload this Page 2 members and [ARG:2 UNDEFINED] guests and [ARG:3 UNDEFINED] spiders

is that normal?

[Arjan]

No, that is not normal. You edited the phrases allright, but it doesn't get the variables passed on. Are you sure you made all the changes to the PHP code?

A question from myself:
I remember that vB 3.0 had a place where you could enter SE identification strings. I can't seem to find that in 3.6 has it gone or can someone tell me where that was?

[bairy]

I remember that vB 3.0 had a place where you could enter SE identification strings. I can't seem to find that in 3.6 has it gone or can someone tell me where that was?

\includes\xml\spiders_vbulletin.xml

I'm not certain if this info is cached and how often, so any changes you make may not show up instantly.

[Arjan]

Ah, thanks.
And maybe usefull for more users:
Anyone knows good sites to find the identification strings of spiders?

[bairy]

<a href="http://forum.vbulletinsetup.com/f7/spider-identification-footer-20.html" target="_blank">http://forum.vbulletinsetup.com/f7/s...footer-20.html</a>

The xml file linked in the first post is dated May 2006. There are 398 spider tags in there. I don't know if that will slow down the who's online page.

[Emanet-Kaos]

thanks :O)

[AMD_Warrior]

Hey i fixed that other problem and now im having a slight problem again can you guys tell me what im doing wrong :(

I made all the edits and the spiders are finally showing up on the online.php (currently active users)

but not on the forum home

can you tell me the exact place where i can fix this?

[Arjan]

Thanks for this xml file :)

I think you still are missing some PHP code in the index.php file. Or you did something wrong there...
Hard to point out exactly what is the problem. read the code carefully.

[wjkids]

Everything is installed and doesnt seem to give any errors. Using 3.6.2 new forums so just waiting for spider to hit ;) Thanks for the MOD!

[Antiblank]

Not sure if it's something I'm doing wrong but my bots are showing up as the same color group as my admins... Other then that the hack works great, running it on 3.6.2 with no other issues.

[Slyfox1]

I'm also getting the "ARG:3UNDEFINED" from the online.php. The forum index is working fine.

I've just re-checked the edits for online.php and there all there.

Any other ideas??

[rogersnm]

You can't have done the template edits.

[Antiblank]

I'm also getting the "ARG:3UNDEFINED" from the online.php. The forum index is working fine.

I've just re-checked the edits for online.php and there all there.

Any other ideas??

Sly

All this means is that you didn't add in the arguement for the phrase. Go into your phrases, find x_members_and_y_guests (i belive it is) click to edit it. Then in the text box type something along the lines of:


{1} members // {2} guests // {3} spiders


This will give you an output like:
Currently Active Users: 21 (2 members // 9 guests // 10 spiders)

Hope that helps.

[Slyfox1]

I went through the text file again and re-checked everything. The phrases must be right as its being displayed correctly in forumhome...

[Slyfox1]

You can't have done the template edits.

I stand corrected.

Seem one of my skins wasn't using the default...

This halfway works for me. It shows this:

"(6 members and 1 guests and 1 spiders)"

But they never show up on the user list.

[Snake]

Make sure you have done the files edits provided you in the readme file. ;)

[Antv912]

How could i make it so that google or the spiders arent shown as members cause ive installed successfully but it shows as user_id:0 when i mouse over Google Adsense

[lifesourcerec]

Make sure you have done the files edits provided you in the readme file. ;)

I did multiple times. Same result.

[mac27]

Anyone else having issues with this in 3.6.3? Spider count is not showing up where it shows currently active users.

[Mudvayne]

I did multiple times. Same result.
Redo the template edits..

Does work fine for me.. I've to close my forum due to maintenance.. So see the screenshots..

[mac27]

Hmmm. it doesn't show the spider count for me. I will have to have a look around adminCP.

[lifesourcerec]

Just rechecked the templates and everything was already set. Still doesn't work.

[Mudvayne]

This is weired.. I found many people having prob with this hack.. But since beginning I don't have any prob with this hack.. Everything works fine for me.. Anywayz I don't mean anything negative but want me to give it a try? Then PM me.. This shud work flawlessly.. Atleast mine does..

[amykhar]

It's worked for many versions of vbulletin and generally, people have problems when they miss portions of the code edits.

[Mudvayne]

Hmmm. it doesn't show the spider count for me. I will have to have a look around adminCP.
You should redo the code change again. Youhavn't any problem with template changes but there is something wrong with your code changes.

[el fuego]

I just installed this (first code edit ever attempted) and it is working flawlessly.

Thanks so much for this awesome hack!!!

On a side note: Has anyone figured out how to get this working with vBadvanced?

[itdevil]

Just upgraded to vB 3.6.4 and the hack works fine :)

Thanks!

[BigJimTheLug]

Wow, I can't seem to find none of the files in my index.php file....lol and my forum is working fine.

Would other vb hacks interfere with this?

Thanks.

Of course other hacks could interfere. If they required code changes that removed the same code this hack needs to change.

[SnapOff Racing]

i think i got mine working ok but when there's 0 guests and/or spiders on my site...it says:

"Currently Active Users: 1 (1 members and 0 guests and spiders)"

does this mean it's not working properly? can someone view my site and tell me? i followed step by step.

thanks

[Mudvayne]

If the phrase edit was flawless then you might 've mistaken with code edit. Check it again.

[lifesourcerec]

If the phrase edit was flawless then you might 've mistaken with code edit. Check it again.

I don't think they made mistakes. I think it is conflicting with other mods. I had 3 mods that wouldn't work. I unstalled 2 non-related mods and those 2 mods finally worked. I have installed this mod 8 times with the same result. It never worked, then when I uninstalled 2 particular modifications, it now half way works.

If you see that, it means your index.php wasn't editted correctly. Double check it.

[Mudvayne]

Hmm.. I've near abt 50 hacks install on my forum.. None of these hacks conflict with this.. So I don't know which hack you r talking about..

[JimmyN]

I have a probelm, i installed it all and on index it show me as not logged in
This is the code that seems to be the probelm.

Im running 3.6.4, if i add the code below in the index file and re-upload it when on the index i get shown as loged out, but the mod works. Can someone check the code and see whats wrong?

Thanks heaps
Find:
---------
if (fetch_online_status($loggedin))
{
$numbervisible++;
eval('$activeusers .= ", ' . fetch_template('forumhome_loggedinuser') . '";');
}
}

-------
Add After:
-------
while ($spidername = current($spiderlist))
{
if ($spidername > 1) {

installed.
Looking forward to getting the vbadvanced online module fix.
Thanks

[TheFrienzNet]

Thanks. :)

[jackey666]

I'm looking forward for a "product" for VB3.6!

Also, it is possible to have the list of spider to be shown at the end of the user list?

[jackey666]

I had to uninstall the add-on... After a few hours after installing it, I were not able to see new messages in a forum shown on the home anymore. The picture indicating that there was a new message was not shown, and the "mark forum as read" either.

The only way I founded to fix it was to put back the file "index.php".

Addon marked as uninstalled...

[Switch02]

Thanks amykhar, i like this mod, work fine in 3.6.4

[Staxed]

I'm having an issue...it's not working correctly...

I have checked and rechecked everything about 5 times now...so i know that this mod is installed correctly...

I disabled the plugin system and it still wasn't working...so that tells me that it's not any of the product mods that i have installed...right?

now...i have a few other mods that required file edits...but none of them required an edit of index.php or online.php...could they still be the problem if they didn't change anything that this mod changes?...i don't want to uninstall them if they can't be the issue...

what else could it be???...it's worked on another board i have (which i believe i had the same other files editing mods installed as well)...i'm just stuck...i can't figure out what else to check...

[Xplorer4x4]

Hmm did I mis an edit or something as my forum home shows:
Currently Active Users: 6 (6 members and guests and 0 spiders)

[Staxed]

you either edited the forumhome template incorrectly or the phrase incorrectly

hey amykhar...any response to my request?

[Xplorer4x4]

hey amykhar...any response to my request?
I have checked over and over. Everything is exited right
The forum home is edited properly and so is the phrase as best I can see. I changed the phrase to "{1} members and {2} guests and {3} spiders" so the guest variable is still listed.

Iris as far as I can see you have not stated what the problem is, just that you have a problem. Sorry if I missed it but it helps to say what the problem is to get it fixed ;).

if everything is done right and you're 100% possitive i have no clue either :(...

lol...thanks for pointing that out to me...i can't believe i forgot to mention the actual problem...now i feel like an idiot...

REPOST:

amykhar...

any ideas?...i've checked it 100 times...i've done everything correctly...it just isn't working...

possibly changes made in 3.6.5 that broke it?

[delmarva]

Too bad it is not a plugin (product). Hate to do code changes on 3.6

Same here... Afraid I'm gonna screw things up, but i guess this separates the pros from the armatures. :rolleyes:

[HeRmAn'S]

version 3.6.5 ...no problem :up:..and *Installed* ;):)

[Staxed]

this is really strange...just isn't working for me for some weird reason

[dbirosel]

omg... how come all the names in the currently active users, all the names been doubled!! help!!!

[dbirosel]

i reverted the forumhome_loggedinuser template, and it seems to be working fine...


i guess there is something wrong with this code?
<if condition="$loggedin[userid]"><a href="member.php?$session[sessionurl]u=$loggedin[userid]">$loggedin[musername]</a>$loggedin[invisiblemark]$loggedin[buddymark]<else

/>$loggedin[musername]</if>

[Zerovb]

Wow Very Good Thank You

[Guest210212002]

Amy, would it be possible to only show the bot count to Admins, and simply add the bot count to the guests count for everyone else?

[Jibreil]

Is this compatible with vB 3.6.7?

[EvilHawk]

Is this compatible with vB 3.6.7?

Yes it is.

[Snake]

Yeah it is but it hasn't been confirmed by Amy yet so just be careful.

[chriscoleman]

Thanks for this! Heres a copy/paste from mine!!!!:

Currently Active Users: 289 (2 members and 280 guests and 7 spiders)
View Who's Online
Most users ever online was 326, Yesterday at 11:39 AM.
admin, Paul, Google AdSense, Yahoo! Slurp(5), Google

[venomx]

I know this is a stupid question but where do I go in VB to add new spiders?

[imhere2009]

Hi all

I have installed this mod on the latest version of vb, but when i look on my forum it shows this:

1 members and 1 guests [ARG:3 UNDEFINED] spiders

Could someone kindly tell me were i went wrong?

Thanks
Steve

[CommunityZ]

It is not compatible with vbshout. I have vbshout installed. Once i installed (edit) the index.php It disappear the chatbox of vbshout. I can't shout....

Look over the install again, you missed something, it looks like you missed the part
In the template WHOSONLINE find:
----------------------
2="$numberguests"
----------------------


Add after:
----------------------
3="$numberspiders"
----------------------

Hi is there a way i can take this to my frontpage. I have a non vb page in php.. i have a login box, once the user logs in it shows their username.. this is from another hack.

I was wondering what i need to do to add the who's online "numbers" just numbers like total online now: 100 members: 50 spiders: 25 guests: 25

Cheers!

[ayoko555]

nevermind :)

[mfyvie]

I've done a slightly different hack along these lines, but using the plugin system instead. It's very simple and doesn't provide any options - it just kills spiders from the various totals. You should check out all the various mods to see which one suits you best. You can find it here (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=152321).

[Quantnet]

still working on 3.6.8 ?

[Smiry Kin's]

donno, when changing some code, some bits can't be found, so i canclled it, think it may require updating to 3.6.8

[cTak]

Great mod, I have everything working, but it has the spiders linked to member.php?u=0 for some reason. Can I change that link? O remove it?

Here is what the code looks like.
<a href="member.php?u=0" rel="nofollow">Yahoo! Slurp</a>, <a href="member.php?u=0" rel="nofollow">Google</a></div>

[ravyn]

my board doesn't do that! Maybe it is something with an update because I have an older version of this hack and it never had links for the spiders.

[seangworld]

i run 3.6.8 and it's not working for me. i had the same errors everyone else has been stating they're getting. i checked and rechecked everything.

i am uninstalling this.

get a plugin.

[gider]

Thanks ...............

[thefullmaza]

plz clicks install

[Flep]

My forum does not displays 0 if no spiders are online.

XX members and XX guests and spiders

[Flep]

Also if spiders are online it does not display the number in What's Going On? panel.
It displays spiders number if i click Currently Active Users only.

[Flep]

nevermind... i forgot to replace a string into index.php.

Works great !

[Taragon]

I have been trying to modify this myself, but would it be possible to update this script for vb3.7 perhaps?
It would be much appreciated.

Currently it is showing like this: see attachment

[Icy]

Works fine for me in vB 3.7 Beta 5. You will have to change two things though.

In index.php (if you already edit it) search for:
$forumusers = $db->query_read_slave("
SELECT
user.username, (user.options & " . $vbulletin->bf_misc_useroptions['invisible'] . ") AS invisible, user.usergroupid,
session.userid, session.inforum, session.lastactivity, session.useragent,
IF(displaygroupid=0, user.usergroupid, displaygroupid) AS displaygroupid
FROM " . TABLE_PREFIX . "session AS session
LEFT JOIN " . TABLE_PREFIX . "user AS user ON(user.userid = session.userid)
WHERE session.lastactivity > $datecut
" . iif($vbulletin->options['displayloggedin'] == 1 OR $vbulletin->options['displayloggedin'] == 3, "ORDER BY username ASC") . "
");
Replace it with:
$forumusers = $db->query_read_slave("
SELECT
user.username, (user.options & " . $vbulletin->bf_misc_useroptions['invisible'] . ") AS invisible, user.usergroupid,
session.userid, session.inforum, session.lastactivity, session.useragent,
IF(displaygroupid=0, user.usergroupid, displaygroupid) AS displaygroupid
FROM " . TABLE_PREFIX . "session AS session
LEFT JOIN " . TABLE_PREFIX . "user AS user ON(user.userid = session.userid)
WHERE session.lastactivity > $datecut
" . iif($vbulletin->options['displayloggedin'] == 1 OR $vbulletin->options['displayloggedin'] == 3, "ORDER BY username ASC") . "
");
Replace the contents of the template forumhome_loggedinuser with:
<if condition="$loggedin[userid]"><if condition="$show['comma_leader']">, </if>$stylevar[dirmark]<a href="member.php?$session[sessionurl]u=$loggedin[userid]">$loggedin[musername]</a>$loggedin[invisiblemark]$loggedin[buddymark]<else />$loggedin[musername]</if>

Yes also I join the petition.

Ok, give me a day to verify it with the co-author and I will release it.
