Correct .. amykhar .. no problems with the hack

hmmm i am having a prob with this hack. Have done exactly as given in text file.
Right now am getting

Currently Active Users: 7 (6 members, 1 guests and 0 spiders)
(on the main forum page in the whats going on field at bottom)

while if i click on who's online and see there, i see
6 members, 1 guests and 2 spiders

where the 2 spiders are the google spiders.

Hows that?
And i am dead sure i have done file edits properly.

(BTW i have removed the and in the phrase with comma,But that can hardly be the reason :P lol

I can't verify the problem because your online.php is not available for guests to view.

I am posting a fix for this problem here so that some more advanced coders can test the instructions before I replace the original text file. Please only do this fix right now if you are a coder and willing to test this code. (The code on my forums works. I just need to ensure I captured all the changes in the instructions.)

This fix requires undoing all changes you made in online.php and using the instructions in this file instead.

The install appears not to have an adverse effect on any other part of my forum but I do have a minor problem and that is the last step regarding (vb 3.07):



In the template WHOSONLINE find:

2=?$numberguest?



Add after:

3=?$numberspiders?



Doesn?t exist in my WHOSONLINE Template and the closest things I can find is



<strong><phrase 1="$numbervisible" 2="$numberguests">$vbphrase[x_members_and_y_guests]</phrase></strong><br /><phrase 1="$recordusers" 2="$recorddate" 3="$recordtime">$vbphrase[most_users_ever_online_was_x_y_at_z]</phrase>

</div></td>



Or this:



<select name="who">

<option value="all" $whoselected[0]>$vbphrase[all]</option>

<option value="members" $whoselected[1]>$vbphrase[members]</option>

<option value="guests" $whoselected[2]>$vbphrase[guests]</option>

<if condition="$vboptions['enablespiders']">

<option value="spiders" $whoselected[3]>$vbphrase[search_bots]</option>

</if>

</select>



Assistance please?

It's this one:

Put it in right after the 2="numberguests"

Installed
I have 12 msn.bots on there right now and it says no spiders on the WOL
any ideas ?
I have triple check all replacements and everything is there

Are the spiders showing as spiders on online.php or do you just know they are spiders by their host? If they are not showing as spiders in online.php, but as guests, then they won't show as spiders on forumhome either.

ok
they are showing as guest
the 2 that are all ways on there are
msnbot.msn.com
