[BamaStangGuy]

Look forward to seeing what kind of improvements this will have. One of my favorite hacks

[eXtremeTim]

Please if you have any feature requests submit them over on my site so I can better keep track of them.

Right now heres what I have planned

Extend the functionality of this to the whos online locations of the following areas forumdisplay, forumhome, whos online, and the show thread pages.

Possible extending this into a more overall whosonline addon:
- Creating additional whosonline view pages like a forum view where you can see which users are in which threads in that forum and not all the forums
- Forums with users view - shows a list of forums that have users in them and the number of users and the % of online users
- other more advanced pages inspired by the old ubb whos online hack from back in the day.

The purpose would be this. The more information about our site the better we can see what our users are doing so we know whats working and whats not. This will allow us to expand on them areas more and grow the site faster.

[Hornstar]

looks good so far. i will also keep track of your current progress on the above features.

[projectego]

Thanks, Tim.

/me clicks install

[eXtremeTim]

There is alot of work to be done before this hack will have all its features. So keep that in mind anybody planning to wait for v2.

[rjmjr69]

WOW thanks guys this is awesome. I'm installing now and will get right back to you.

Ok installed without a hitch even with my highly modified templates. Here is a screen shot of the results I will be changing the text colors which Is a really nice feature.
One request I have is can you put the Bots on their own line?
And maybe list them alphabetically?

This bot is not getting listed as a bot?
vps.allowmeout.com 207.58.179.168


Other than that seems to work as described and installed without a hitch thank you.
By the way how many queries does this add?

[eXtremeTim]

The script doesnt know about every bot. It know about a good deal of them but not all.

The bots being on the same line there is caused by your style.

[rjmjr69]

Also could you have it so the bots are not included as members? So in my snapshot it would read
6
2 members 1 guest 3 bots

Really? Good to know. Would you happen to know how I could change that? everything works just fine. How does one get a bot included on the list?

Good work thank you very much

[eXtremeTim]

That change is planned for an upcoming version.

The bots that are included are controlled by the vbulletin spiders xml file. In the xml directory.

[rjmjr69]

LOL I know they are controlled from there. What I was asking is if you knew how I could move them to a new line on my forum you said thats a template issue correct? Thanks

And here is an updated Spiderslist I've gathered from the site you mention and a few others. Has a bit more listed if you would like to include this in your package that would be fine I'll delete the link here.

Also thanks for the custom spiderlist. I will take a look at it soon. :)

[dbirosel]

Question: I remember manually editing my forumhome to have spiders being run. Do you know which one i used? I'm asking if you know which one, because i want to uninstall and revert the codes so i can use your mod.

If you don't know what mod i used to manually edit my files, how do i add that spider list to my forums?

[M-Tuning]

Nice

[Robru]

Thank you, for this great job ... :)

[voteforbird]

When I click on a spider link I get the following error:Table 'volconvo_vbulletin.spider_watcher' doesn't exist

[Masiello]

This mod overwrite any other mod that have the same xml file name "spiders_vbulletin" can you personalize it please?
I'm talking about this:

[eXtremeTim]

spiders_vbulletin.xml is a stock datafile used to track spiders online. Replacing it is safe and advised.

[maamon]

Possible translation into Arabic product ؟

[Kirkus]

Very nice. Installed.

I don't quite understand what "logged out users" means. Could someone explain?

[Doug Nelson]

Nice mod.

I'm showing two logged off users as "ewt_eusersonline #1" and "ewt_eusersonline #2". I have no such registered users.

[voteforbird]

I think when you hover it says who they are… I disabled that.

And I think "logged out" users means people who would still show up as logged in had they not clicked the "log out" button.

[Doug Nelson]

All my logged out users multiply every time I hit refresh or nav back to the main forum page.

If I replace it the Paul M mod don't works and have to remove it

[Greek76]

I noticed a problem with the mod. Its great and I like very much but it had some negative affect to the current users online screen. When I click on the ipaddress it just completely dissapears lol. I uninstalled the mod but still having the same problem on all my skins. So I reinstalled it back anyways. Any way to fix this?

[Fungsten]

Sounds interesting.

This hack doesnt touch the users online page itself. It only alters the index.php's code.

[popowich]

Installed.

Spider list provided by Stadler. Latest version can be found here.

I'm wondering, is that link up to date? The discussion leads me to believe it may not be.

Maybe you can keep a current version available in this products downloads to avoid confusion.

[loonytune15]

I am running vbBol and I know this is the new version, but i was wondering if there is a way to make the color to show the spiders style specific. eg one color on one style works well , but wont work on another..

The file That Paul has is pretty much the same thing bro. Both mods are using it. I posted one that has a pretty fair amount of additional spiders listed if you want to use that one. But there is nothing going to go wrong with overwriting that file

popowich Installed.

I posted a NEWER version and the one thats included in this mod is also pretty upto date. \
That thread is dead however but if you search around there are others I pieced them all together to make the list I posted.

[popowich]

You can configure the color under:

admincp -> vbulletin options -> ewt_eusersonline settings

-Raymond

[Fungsten]

ewt_eusersonline #3

Why is that? Thanks.

[popowich]

Turn off the "show logged out members to admins".

Mine did the same thing. I'm not sure why.

But I didn't use it before either and turned it off again. -- fixed. ;)

[popowich]

See: admincp -> vbulletin options -> ewt_eusersonline for configurable settings.

[Fungsten]

Why would it show up at all in "Loggedout Users"?

This hack doesnt touch the users online page itself. It only alters the index.php's code.

It somehow affected my problem. That was the only mod that I have installed within a couple of weeks.

[eXtremeTim]

Why is that? Thanks.
That would be users who are logged out right now who have more then one user account associated with their ip.

[Fungsten]

ewt_eusersonline #3

I have no users with that name or could have an IP#.


That would be users who are logged out right now who have more then one user account associated with their ip.

On Edit.

I get this. So if you rest the mouse on that link it shows which users are online as guests. Ok now I get it.

-Raymond

I am aware of this but it still doesn't help out my problem in post 34. I want to change the color of the spider usergroup to be style specific. eg Blue wont work in each style.

[eXtremeTim]

I will update it in the next version to allow you to use css classes so that it can be style specific. :)

[eXtremeTim]

I am currently taking feature suggestions for the next version of this hack.

[loonytune15]

awesome, well you have my suggestion.. :D

[Xplorer4x4]

Found a small bug i believe. Create a user name such as [Xplorer4x4] when clicking on the user name it could not find the members profile.

[iogames]

I can't see any spider :'(

[eXtremeTim]

do you have the show spiders on the whosonline page set to on in the whosonline settings?

[Neo_Angelo]

if i want to replace the names of bots to spiders and remove the & parts from the whats going on bit how would i do so?

since i want it from this:

12 members & 7 Guest & 7 logged out & 15 bots

to

|12 members|7 Guests|15 Spiders|7 logged out|

[dbirosel]

how do i add that spider list? and where do it at?

[FreshFroot]

I got a issue.. what about the people using the hack that shows "team: and then members:"

It seems with that hack, no spiders are shown.

[Neo_Angelo]

it's all in the phrasing i think, to show bots go into your phrase manager and look for


x_members_and_y_guests_and_z_loggedout_and_q_bots


Then Change the text to:

{1} members & {2} guests & {3} logged out & {4} bots

if you want it to look nicer i'd chnge it to what i use:

{1} members | {2} guests | {4} spiders | {3} logged out

hope this helps.

[FreshFroot]

it's the "Split Useronline" hack that doesn't allow this hack to show the bots...

[MeMySelfNi]

*installed*

[eXtremeTim]

I am planning to start making some of my advanced whosonline stuff tommorrow.

[eXtremeTim]

So what feature requests do we have for the next version?

[eXtremeTim]

I recommend using this hack along side my advanced whosonline hack.

[Roxie]

Looks good.

[rjmjr69]

The bots/spiders mysteriously now appear as guests on the wol screen?

[Doctor Death]

Looks promising, will install at next release. Does it support version tracking?

[Lpspider]

Installed...

Curious, what's the real point of this?

[BigJimTheLug]

Nice work, installed!

[eJM]

I think I made a mistake. I clicked "Mark as uninstalled" before I realized what it actually said. I INSTALLED it, not uninstalled it. Thank you for the product.

Jim

[exes_slayer]

great mod
slayer marks installed

[keyness]

I loved the idea of "logged out users" it shows the users (via their IP) who view forums as guests. Very nice. Thanks!

[unnpro]

It doesn't seem to work on vBulletin 3.6.7 PL1 (counter remains at 0).
Am I the only one with this problem? "Show spiders" on the whosonline config page is enabled.

TIA

[delmarva]

Can someone give me a little better installation instructions? Thanks from the novice. :)

Okay, I think I have it installed, and they appear to be on the "who's online" section, but they are hidden. I suppose it is the same color font as the background. Any ideas? Thanks.

[ayoko555]

Thanks! Worked great!

[MDK-Indy]

Salü,

Which ist the different to your EWT - eXtend Show Spiders?

greeting Indy

[Amenadiel]

It works great, but I have a little question. Right now, and most of the time, Yahoo Slurp keeps 100+ bots sneaking around.

http://imgbolt.com/public/thumb_4697072f7a7f9352816066.jpg (http://imgbolt.com/public/pview/8952/onilne.jpg)

How difficult would it be to show only one of each bot, hiding their count between parenthesis, and counting them just once in the total? For example:

Right Now:
Total: 1000, user 500, guest 300, bots 200
user1, user2, etc etc, Yahoo! Slurp (194), Google (1), ichiro (1), MSNBot (4)

Desired:
Total: 804, user 500, guest 300, bots 4
user1, user2, etc etc, Yahoo! Slurp, Google, ichiro, MSNBot
