Spider Display
Version 1.0.4
(By Boofo)

What does this product do?
This Hack displays the Number of Spiders on Forumhome and Who is Online.

If you are using a previous version of this mod, make sure to replace the default vBulletin template lines back into the templates and they are now automatically edited.

Version Information:
Version 1.0.1 --Initial release for vBulletin 3.7
Version 1.0.2 --Fixed MySQL error.
Version 1.0.3 --Fixed the leading comma issue when there were no members online.
Version 1.0.4 --Template edits now done automatically. No more manual template edits.

Credits:
A big thank you goes out to Andreas for coming up with the original code for this for 3.5.4. It now works in 3.7.

Installation overview:
Products to install: (1)
File Edits: (See the NOTE below)

Installation Instructions:
1. Upload spiders_vbulletin.xml to the includes/xml directory on your site.

2. Go to your Admin CP
Scroll down to 'Plugin System'
Click 'Manage Products'
Click 'Add/Import Product'
Click the 'Browse' button, and locate the product-spiderdisplay.xml file on your computer

Done!
Enjoy!

NOTE: There is one file edit that I have not found a way to get around yet. It is a special template cache that must be used with this. The easiest way to do it is add the file edit to the includes/config.php. Since this file does not change as often, you should be fine on most upgrades. This is the ONLY file edit.

NOTE: If you do not click install, you do not need support.

I like the idea here but I don't want all my users seeing the spiders. Have you considered an option to display this information on the admin panel only? Like and an extension of this mod.

Thanks,

Thanks,
Nevermind. I've combined these two mods adding the spider detection code to the admin panel one listed above. I'll mark installed regardless as all the spider detection code is from this mod.

Cheers.

How is that going to work when the code needs to be on the forumhome and Who's online?

I had same problem with one of googlebots. It was called as a guest and in the IP info it has something like crawler-google.com or sth like this.

What can we do to prevent before something like this again?

Cheers!

Make sure you have the latest spiders xml uploaded to the includes/xml directory. Spiders are recognized by their User Agent, not their resolved IP. If you check the User Agent on those you will see they look like normal users.

I guess the spiders.xml needs updating, but I dont know the best source for accurate info.

Can anybody advise?

Thanks

You're not understanding how it works. You can't update the xml with the IP info as vb identifies spiders by their User Agent only. If the spider info is not in the UA, vb sees it as a guest, no matter what the IP resolves to.

Ah thank you, I understand now

So I guess that means one of three things?
- The Live Search spiders dont use/display user agent info
- The Live Search spider agent info isnt in the xml file
- It wasnt a spider

Is that a fair assumption?

Thanks

Well, I was browsing this mod when I noticed that a similar mod for VB 3.6 that I was still using is now in the graveyard. ¿Why? I don't know, but I deinstalled that one, installed this one and now I'm seeing a lot of robots I didn't see before. Baidu, Technorati, Twiceler... I'm loving this.
