Installed. :) Thanks!

it doesnt work on my forum. What i have seen is that the spiders are getting the same message as non registered users.

I am also using the hack

Thread Display For Nonregistered Users (Limit Characters, Display Message) 2.0.5

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=108834


The owner of this hack has told to use your hack as well, which makes it sure that both should be compatible. but its not working.

Spiders are treated as un registered.

please help.
thanks

I installed it exactly the way you told, but it just doesn't work...
my init.php has many instances of this code:
if (!empty($db->explain))

I added your code above the last one in there... and it didn't work
Then added it above all instances, and still it didn't work
:( Please advise

same with me

bump

& same here..

:confused:

Does anyone know if this works with VBadvanced pages?

Can the is_bot variable be used to hide for example welcome_headers from bots in templates?

Thanks

maybe this doesn't work for 3.5.4 its not working for me either

its letting yahoo view it with no problem. but not google

btw.. yahoo has updated its slurp spider. I don't think it will effect this..but maybe developer outta confirm. ;)

This will be great if working.
Is there any new update on this addon?

any one try this hack on 3.6?

yes. but it dosnt work on it..

can somebody get this to work on 3.6 pleasssssse

Any updates on this working for 3.6?

i guess noones gonna do it :(

are you sure it doesnt work on 3.6 ?? ppl been saying it does

i guess ill just have to try it for myself

It wasn't working on my board since the 3.6 upgrade. But then I realised there was a code insertion to be done to the init.php file. I've done that.

Note there is a bold warning on the mod first post that tells us we need to do this for any upgrade. Time will tell if that's all we need to do.

I reinstalled it, tested it, AdSense bot can't access the forums which it could before I applied new vBulletin.

Please upgrade this to 3.6.

*bump*

Anyone out there?

This is weird. I have just re-installed it on my vB 3.6 forums and it seems to work just fine. :S So why are you people saying it ain't working properly on 3.6 then?

Works fine on my 3.6.1 - took a few days for the spiders to pick up though.

Installed ;)

Does ist also work with 3.6.2?

Thnx for the Answer!

Greetings

yes it does Hans ;)

Hello,

today when I look on the "Who is online" I see that the Spider becomes a forbidden message. (see screenshot)

How can I check if the hack works?

Thnx for your help
Hans

hello Does ist also work with 3.6.3? thank you

Yeah it does.

Question, if I allow a guest to see a portion of the thread instead of just the error message asking it to register and the spider the full content of the thread, will be still consider a bad practice on the Google eyes? Nvm I think Google TOS is very clear...

*wrong thread*

Will it work for 3.6.4?

If it works for 3.6.3 it will work for 3.6.4 since the only thing changed was fixing a exploit.

Which we have been waiting for months for it.

hey, ive got multiple "if (!empty($db->explain))" in my init.php

whcih one do i use???

im on 3.6.3 btw

sup rocks

the bots (google and yahoo) seem to be getting the denied message....?

did i do something wrong? HM.

same here
