Off and on. When it's done, I'll post it.

Thanks Amy :)

I have a question, that I don't think was very clear, or maybe I'm just stupid. But for this hack to work, do I have to have "Enable Spider Display" in the Who's Online options, and what am I supposed to put in the spider identification strings and description?

Yes and look at the posts here to get an updated list from VB.

Basicly just delete whats already in both of the spider boxes in VB's admincp and put the stufffrom the two text files. :)

thanks alot!

If you add a new one that you have found make sure you put the info on the same line in both boxes! :P

i don't know if this is a bug or not, but a couple of people reported seeing like, 240 guests when some others see only like 8. but most users online would say 260 (including members and guests)

well, or it could be that 240 ppl came and left in a period of 10 minutes, which i think is pretty unlikely. anyone else experienced this?

My code doesn't touch the most users online stat. So, if it says 260, I'm guessing you had a major influx of spiders. Yahoo slurp seems to be out in droves for many people right now.

yea, maybe it was just an influx of spiders, i submitted my site to some search engines a couple of days ago. i didn't think that they would send spiders out so fast though, after like 2 days :surprised:

just checking on the status of getting this working in vba cmps. i'm anxiously awaiting this before i install. thanks for your work on this hack amy. :)

Yes, I'm still interested too....

Any word on it working with vba?

yeah.. I'm still interested :)

Anybody who can fix this will be my hero! I want it for vBa too

:classic:

Seriously, those of us with vBadvanced would love you. Well, we'd llike you a whole bunch!

If somebody can do this, and won't because they're good people, I might spring a few dollars to get it done.

I haven't been at this long enough yet to do it myself.

Thanks,

Ok, I have gone over the instructions again and checked my phrases, but I'm getting this on the whosonline page:

"1 members and 0 guests and spiders (Most users ever online was 99, 04-26-2005 at 10:40 AM.) "

The number is missing from in front of the spider variable.

ideas?

You need to recheck it, it looks like the variable for the missing element is not correctly defined.

As for me, I don't want to use this without vBa working. It looks ugly and I'm not able to modify the file myself. I had installed it, but I've since rebuilt from scratch and am now going to wait. I attached the file in a previous post, and I think it's a quick change to make it work. The file is small. But I don't have the skills.

Dennis

To fix the display problem on vBa cmps do the following:

In the adv_portal_onlineusers template
find:
and add after:
This will get rid of the error message [ARG:3 UNDEFINED]

Okay, It got rid of the UNDEFINED error, but it doesn't show a 0 when there are no spiders:

2 members, 0 guests and spiders

Have to catch it when there is one on, damned yahoo almost 300 lastnight, nothing today.

I noticed there are two variables, $numberspiders and $numspiders, anything to do with it?

Thanks for helping.

If you look over on vbadvance site they gave me how to make it so it shows no spiders info on the CMPS...
Heres the link: http://www.vbadvanced.com/forum/showthread.php?t=5969

But I want it to show.

Hopefully it can be fixed.

I don't mind the number of spiders being listed, but I don't want their names being displayed on the list of users, how do I remove them?

That's the whole point of this hack, Nick. Just don't install the hack.

For me the whole point of the hack was to differentiate in the number of guests, which are spiders and which are not...

what is my problem per username double show :devious:

or look here http://www.gsmciler.com/forum/index.php any one help me please

?????????????????????????????

Redo the edits on index.php. You've got something wrong somewhere.

I tried that but nothing changed at all.

Amy, any update on making this work with vBadvanced?

Finally!

I can only guarantee that this works with the most recent version of CMPS.

It should be $numberspiders to make it work with Amys addon.

Before any of you ask, this will be one of the last of my hacks that I upgrade to 3.5 because it is impossible to test except on a live site and I won't upgrade my live site until I have inferno quiz, petz and a few others working on the new version.

Amy

hi, thanks for this, i have installed it and have 1 small problem, after the user name on currently active users within index.php i have gathered an extra space before the comma

I lost the link for the fix. Thanks man. :)

How can I only show spiders when logged in as admin and have the spiders show as guests to everyone else?

This link http://www.vbulletin.com/forum/showp...5&postcount=12 to update the spider list in admincp helped a lot... went from 6 guests to 3 guest 3 spiders
