change the 2 XX in red with the usergroup you want.

When ever I make this change, it appears that the bots can now get in, but I am unable to log into my admincp. I am running vb 3.7

Any ideas?

Same with me and all private forums appear to become open to all members.

go to vBulletin Options /Who's Online Options /Enable Spider Display
set to yes then go to who is online and if there spider you can see if they get permission errors.

I have just installed this on my 3.6.8 Vs 2. How do I check that it has worked Please?

I have just tried to that "Spiderlist" through my ACP -> P&P -> Product Manage -> add/Import, but it showed as "Invalid File Specified". Is it because it is for the 3.7.2? Where as I have the 3.6.8?

I asume it is just the spiderlistXML file that I am supposed to upload?

How do I check that the upload of this hack is working for me Please? (I have been in ACP -> Who's Online Options -> Enable Spider Display -> Yes. (No spiders on at present).

When I downloaded it earlier, Google sider was on - but it was showing as a Guest (as usual). What I have done above will be seen by the members of the forum now - wouldn't it?

Many Thanks,

Welshy2008.

Many thanks to dtv100 and trilljester!.

This works on 3.7.3 Patch 1 for me, this is what I did:

1. Downloaded, and installed the XML file from the original hack posted here (attached)
2. Edited the following in my init.php file (./includes/init.php)

Find:

Code:

if (!empty($db->explain))

{

        $db->timer_stop(false);

}



/*======================================================================*\

Replace with:

Code:

if ($is_bot == 1) {

        $vbulletin->userinfo['usergroupid'] = XX;

}

if (!empty($db->explain))

{

        $db->timer_stop(false);

}



/*======================================================================*\

Seems to be working for me, I don't have any spider lists or anything installed, had no problems with Admin CP or other guest/member permissions as of yet. I'll let you know if there are any problems in the future.

It's simpler than it's made out in this thread...

The above code was not written by me and all credit goes to the makers/coders here ;)
I'm just giving a testimonial of a successful install on VB 3.7.3 - Patch 1

this mod has bad idea written all over it :rolleyes:
I would advise AGAINST using this mod, giving the bots access to more then guest will get you blacklisted in search engines in no time.

Thank you very much , it work for me !

The Problem is: Now, every non registered member who will use a firefox plugin what will identify him as google bot, will have access to all private/closed forums as guest. They don't even need to register, just by using a FF Plugin.

Is there no possibility to identify the googlebot by actual ips ?

Works on 3.8.0 as follows:
install as normal

now in includes/init.php around line #400, look for the following:

Code:

                $vbulletin->options['contactuslink'] .= $vbulletin->session->vars['sessionurl_q'];

        }

}



// CSRF Protection for POST requests

if (strtoupper($_SERVER['REQUEST_METHOD']) == 'POST')

Replace with the following:

Code:

                $vbulletin->options['contactuslink'] .= $vbulletin->session->vars['sessionurl_q'];

        }

}



// memberbot mod:

if ($is_bot == 1) {

        $vbulletin->userinfo['usergroupid'] = XX;

}

// End of memberbot mod



// CSRF Protection for POST requests

if (strtoupper($_SERVER['REQUEST_METHOD']) == 'POST')

i can see provisions for verifying the bot IP address in the mod code, but it doesn't seem to be active..

thanks, i like it :)

to prevent missuse take a look at http://bot-trap.de - if one tries to fake, he is trapped. even so spambots and so on.

This doesn't seem to me to be working on 3.8.2. No errors, but no results either. I wish someone would update this. It's a great idea.

can anyone fix this for 3.8.3?

ROTPAR

07-20-2009 04:10 PM

Ok once again. How can I prevent Users to see content after they used a firefox plugin what identifies them as a google bot?????

I don't think there is a way.
