Show Spiders Online on ForumHome

This is a port of my 3.0.x modification. It shows, on your forumhome page, any spiders that are present (ones that show as a spider on your who's online page)

NOTE: If you are using a portal that shows who's online, this mod will mess up your portal. As of this date, I do not know of any working portals for 3.5 and I do not have the code to fix portals.

Please understand what this mod does before you start crying that it doesn't work. This mod will show any spiders who show up as a spider on who's online as a spider on the forumhome page. It will NOT show a spider who shows up as a guest on who's online as a spider. It does not add additional spiders to the list either.

PLEASE DO NOT INSTALL THIS IF YOU ARE UNABLE TO ADJUST YOUR OWN PORTAL TEMPLATES SO THAT THE PHRASE DOES NOT CONTAIN AN ERROR.

What a shame...

is this really working? I checked when the msn bot on our site but this didnt show me the msn bot

[amykhar]

First question. When you look at your online.php, do you know it's a bot because the username says its a spider, or do you know it's a bot based on the ip address?

How do I correct the guest count? In otherwords, it's adding the total number of guests and spiders together and places that total in the parentheses for the guests.

So it looks like guests (6), MSNbot (4) when in fact there are are only 2 guests and 4 spiders. It doesn't effect the spider reporting, so in other words, in this example, MSNbot (4), is shown correctly.

Thanks in advance.

After some experimentation I was able to figure it out....just the change the code in index.php in this chunk....to this, if you want the same desired effect:

$spiderlist = array();
while ($spidercand = $db->fetch_array($spiders))
{
$userid = $spidercand['userid'];
if (!empty($vbulletin->wol_spiders))
{
if (preg_match('#(' . $vbulletin->wol_spiders['spiderstring'] . ')#si', $spidercand['useragent'], $agent))
{
$agent = strtolower($agent[1]);
$spider = $vbulletin->wol_spiders['agents']["$agent"];
$key = $spider['name'];
if(array_key_exists($key,$spiderlist))
{
$spiderlist[$key] = $spiderlist[$key] + 1;
}
else
{

$spiderlist[$key] = 1;

}


$numberspiders++;

}
}
}

$numberguest = $numberguest - $numberspiders;

if ($numberguest > 0)
{
if ($numberguest > 1)
{
$loggedin['musername'] = "Guest (".$numberguest.")" ;
}
else
{
$loggedin['musername'] = "Guest";
}
$loggedin['userid'] = 0;
eval('$activeusers .= ", ' . fetch_template('forumhome_loggedinuser') . '";');
}

while ($spidername = current($spiderlist))
{
if ($spidername > 1) {
$loggedin['musername'] = key($spiderlist) . " (" . $spidername.")";
}
else
{
$loggedin['musername'] = key($spiderlist);
}
$loggedin['userid'] = 0;
eval('$activeusers .= ", ' . fetch_template('forumhome_loggedinuser') . '";');
next($spiderlist);
}

// memory saving
unset($userinfos, $loggedin);

$activeusers = substr($activeusers, 2); // get rid of initial comma

$db->free_result($forumusers);

$totalonline = $numberregistered + $numberguest + $numberspiders;
$numberinvisible = $numberregistered - $numbervisible;

Hey is there anyone who could fix the issue for the vBadvanced Portal please?

[divided_by_fear]

bro i been asking the same thing... but it seems amykhar dont care to work on it for vBadvanced.... she had said it in her previous post... so it seems were left high and dry...

[amykhar]

No. You are not left high and dry. You were warned before you ever installed the mod. It's in the very first post. You decided to install the mod anyway. That is not nearly the same as me leaving you high and dry.

christian have figured it out to make it to work on vBa, but as you may know he's not fully done with it. The spiders shows up but it doesn't count up the number of spiders that is currently online on a board.

Have a look: http://mgszone.com

Umm... is anyone else experiencing weirdness on 3.5.1?

Currently Active Users: 127 (2 members and -103 guests and 114 spiders)
View Who's Online

Most users ever online was 608, 07-Jun-2005 at 01:24 AM.
kall, vobbi, WiseNut(2), Yahoo! Slurp(108), Google AdSense, MSNBot, Gigabot, e-Society, Yahoo! Slurp (108), WiseNut (2), Google AdSense, MSNBot, Gigabot, e-Society

The spider names are doubled-up, and the number of guests is negative.

I double-checked my code edits..
