On the homepage, at the bottom.

Thanks Paul for the hack.

I will give a shot today!

Thanks Paul.:up:

Paul just a question:

i've already changed the default spiders.xml with the more recent, so if i go into the who's on line 'hidden' box (where i can vew the IPs) i saw that the software recognizes the spider (Snap Shots Spider) but i don't see it in your hack like Yahoo or Google ... where it count each visit of a spider ...

edit: nevermind after some minutes, now it works ... :)

The spider has to actually read a page after you update the file.

Great mod. Here comes russian translation

:up:

Had the same issue. Repairing via ACP and phpmyadmin did not work so I had to uninstall/reinstall. It did drop the crashed table.

I have installed and all is working. Do the spiders automatically show up in the currently active users? If not can you explain how to make it so. Take it easy on me I am a rookie. Thanks.

This mod has its own display section in the "Whats going on" section, the visiting spiders are listed there.

This is a great plugin! :up:

One question... On my forums many people doesn't log in (they are to lazy) so they just read the forums. I know lot's of the IPs where they are from (schools here in my town and company's). Would it be possible that instead of "guest" it would check the IP from a xml-file and the print "guest - any-school" or "guest - any-company"

You could compare it to the spiderlist but here it's about "known" guests. Would it be possible?

Thanks

The latest update sees the table just cut off half way down and leave a lot of blank space. Would this be to do with the template? Or is it because I added over 500 rows?

I have looked at your site and cannot see that happening, please provide an example link.

You can define spiders by IP address in the vb spiders file, so I would suggest you customize it for yourself, making sure you keep a copy for when you upgrade vb.

In the guest list, would it be difficult to implement the resolve function? I think that would be very handy if the IP-adress could be link as it is on the WOL-page :)

Sorry but I dont see any gaps or blank rows in that display, looks fine to me (as it did when I last looked).

Ah... perhaps it's just from admin view then.

That column should be the IP address.

Yeah, I blanked that one out. I meant the grey underneath as the footer is a distance below.

Sorry, no idea, must be something on your site, there is nothing in the code to do that and its fine on my site.

I just installed this. Does it take a little time to gather information? Nothing is being shown yet.

Also, is there a way to just seperate the Real visitors from the Spiders ? It would be nice to have a seperate option to show 'who is online' to eliminate all spiders and ONLY have the number of real people visiting and block all the spiders.

This plugin is helpful because normal vBulletin without any mods displays spiders and visitors combined...this one can atleast seperate the 2. My goal is to completely eliminate the numbers of spiders and only show visitors to regular users... although in a seperate area (unseen from regular members) it could display to spiders to me so that I could tell if im getting alot of hits from regular members or if its just a spider surge.

If there is another plugin out there that someone might know of aware of , i'd appreciate it.

I got the stuff to display...didnt have usergroup settings enabled. sorry about that.

But the other question ^^ im still interested in. That would also be a great thing for usergroup permissions as well. To enable Members to ONLY see the real human visitor number that are visiting the site..and eliminating the spider stuff completely.

great plugin by the way.

Hmm, seperate permissions for visitors and spiders, not sure many people would really need that tbh. Still, I'll think about it.

I think it would be the 'Purest' and most greatest thing. This way they are totally seperated and what you see are Actual human visitors...no bots of any kinds and thats the ONLY number that is show on the forum. It would be great to have that I do believe. An optional thing though.

For instance regular members only see that.....and moderators could see the detailed stuff if they wish.

I dont think it would be too difficult to incorporate...I was searching mods today and couldnt find even one that had that.

The only slight negative effect for people initially is that your "currently active users" number would be much lower and some people might not want to take that risk... even myself, I fear if people see the numbers declining alot...they may decide this is a crappy forum and they wont hang around.

*installed*

great hack

ok i have this mod and it tells me this 05-26-2008, 08:49 AM Visitor No register 58.83.45.91 Member Registration for bobo69x11
05-26-2008, 08:07 AM Visitor No register 121.204.36.216 Member Registration for lovetxtin
05-26-2008, 06:55 AM Visitor No register 74.85.13.52 Member Registration for cdef174
and much more and when i click on these so called members it tells me they dont appear even regisered so ive had aabout 29 guests register and none of them show up on my registered user count in the stats i dont no if its a mod interfearecne or or something i did wrong

As usual, perfect design, flawless execution. Thanks Paul!

The fact they are on the registration page does not mean they sucessfully registered. :)

Those are most likely bot registration attempts... I see them on my test 3.7 with this mod...

PaulM, congrats, I really like this one. I have forever wanted to know what were guest counts and what were spider counts.

o ok so it tells me they registered as "name" and since they didnt regester successfully they dont exist?

I don?t see the another section of this mod in my forum, help!!

www.all-reefs.com

Did you follow the install instructions ?

I think is this, but I don?t understand it very well. :( sorry

Set your required permissions in the usergroup manager.

Ok I see it, never mind so sorry.

Yes, exactly... perhaps it entered data in error on the forum beyond the user name, forcing a partial resend for correction .. Being a bot, it didn't reply.. but.. The tracking software simply saw the last transaction and registered what data it knew.

I know the registration process works, and I know these ghost registrations happen on my site from time to time, same forensic, saw them registering, but they don't exist. Logic tells me that they simply did not complete....

Congrats, PaulM
may you alter this mod to check Guests IP? so it can tell us that the user "named bla bla" is viewing the forum as a guest.

Thank You Sir! :up: (waiting on that 1st guest)

Just posting to say thanks for this mod. Working fine for me on vB 2.7.1.

Thank you so much for another awesome add-on! :)
