eXtend Show Spiders

What this hack does is extends vbulletins base functionality for $show['search_engine']. By defualt vbulletin only recognizes three spiders well this hack extends it to around 300 or so spiders.

I would say more about this and or provide screenshots if only that was possible for this. Basicly this is using a function i made to identify spiders and modified the vbulletin show variable for spiders.

This is a great seo mod becuase it helps filter out the useless junk that spiders dont care about.

I no longer have time to support my mods here so please report suggestions and other things: http://vbhacks.extremewebtech.com/fo...read.php?t=167

I will try to maintain the latest version of this hack on here but no promises.

I installed this for about 3 seconds, as it made every link I clicked on my forum show just a blank page.

After uninstalling it, things worked normally, so it's definitely this.

How do you screenshot a mod that is just code changes?

It only effects what spiders see using vbulletins defualt method for that. I just extended it to support more spiders for the spider detection variable.

Did you upload the files to the correct folder? If not then it could generate a white page becuase of not finding the function file.

folder path should look like so:
/yourforumsdir/ewt/core/

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/external/2011/01/19.gif This is very useful if you want not to have indexed different "secret" contents on your Pages. I personally now use it to protect my Spoilers from being indexed by any spiders or mailaddresses or any private informations - a must-have!

I believe there is an official expansion to the XML file posted over at vb.com...

If you took at look at this you would notice its not dealing with that spider system. Its dealing with the $show['search_engine'] variable defined in the init process using

PHP Code:


		
			
// conditional used in templates to hide things from search engines.
$show['search_engine'] = ($vbulletin->superglobal_size['_COOKIE'] == 0 AND preg_match("#(google|msnbot|yahoo! slurp)#si", $_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT']));

I get the blank white page too, have uploaded all files to forums/ewt & forums/ewt/core uploaded product but blank screen everytime?

I know when I would get blank pages, it meant that there was another mod that was conflicting with the current mod. Do you guys have the template cache mod installed? I know that was the big one that gave me some trouble...

Anyways, great hack! *installed*

This hack only effects what spiders see. Its not a noticable effect for the end user only spiders.

So Installed :)

just one question! Shouldn't you wrote:

PHP Code:


		
			
$show['search_engine'] = false;

before the if statement?
