Thanks falter. I will merge your code in my next release. With the Stadler's updated xml file. It will be better using the xml file than my string. I should be able to make that into plugins. So that no code needs to be changed regarding search engine crawler detection.

I also have an idea that I should make threads with new posts higher sitemap priority. So a new version is not far away.

It is good to see hackers work together creating better code. It makes it more interesting than explaining how to set permissions.

I have attached patch.diff for the two files.

This one uses the spiders_vbulletin.xml file, which I recommend people updating. The 3.5.0 gold version is fairly vanilla. I got an updated one from here: http://www.vbulletin.com/forum/showp...5&postcount=12

Anyway, here's the change to global.php (this is assuming that you have the very latest version of lierduh's code )

There's all sorts of extra markup in the xml for ip ranges and such, but I'm just goign to match against the user-agents, for now.
