allow spider(s) to login to forum

Hi @ll,

on my Forums, only registered User can see the Forums and Threads.
In this case the Spiders cannot join the Forum ...

Before i came to vb3, i had wbb2 and there was a hack, (googlebot-hack), where the bots could login automatically and spiders the Forum.

Is there a possiblity in vb3 to make a similar hack ?

the code was as follows :

Code:

/* get host */

$googlebot_userid=4711; 

$remote_host=gethostbyaddr($_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR']);

if(@preg_match("/(.*)googlebot\.com/i", $remote_host)){

        $wbbuserdata['userid']=$googlebot_userid;

        $db->unbuffered_query("UPDATE bb".$n."_sessions SET userid = '".$googlebot_userid."' WHERE sessionhash = '$sid'",1);

        $wbbuserdata=getwbbuserdata($googlebot_userid,"userid",1);

i guess you could set it so guests have permissions when the guest is a spider but y not just turn on viewing then?since they will be able to view content via cached pages etc.

i will agree that they see the content via the cached pages, i think nobody will hangle via google cached pages to search my forums.

anyway, how can i tell vb3, that guests have permissions if the guest is a spider ?

It is possible to adapt the code you posted, but I would not recommend to do so.

What you are trying to do is cloaking, and if this is discovered by Google you will moste likely be penalized with a lower PR or removed from their index.

Gain users with content, not with tricks.
