Show Spiders Online on ForumHome

This one is a pretty easy hack to install. It shows any spiders that are indexing your site in the what's going on box on the forum home page. Please note. It will only show spiders as spiders and not as guests if it also shows them as spiders and not as guests on online.php.

This hack has been tested on 3.0.6 and 3.0.7.

It's not hard to install, but it does have one drawback. If you have a portal page that shows online users, you will have to edit it yourself to incorporate the changes. Consider yourself warned.

At this point, any problems reported are installation errors. If things don't work for you, make sure you have completed all the steps as written.

As I have upgraded to 3.5, I am withdrawing support for this older version. All the bugs are gone and any issues are now installation errors.

FAQ
1. I get this: [ARG:3 UNDEFINED] spiders on my portal page.
As noted above, because of the large number of portals, you're on your own for integrating them into thie hack.

2. I get this: [ARG:3 UNDEFINED] spiders on other pages.
1. Make sure you have done all of the code changes correctly.
2. Make sure you have updated your style to use the modified templates. If not, that error will occor.

In your forumhome template edit, make sure you passed the correct variable in. If you aren't passing in anything because you didn't make the edit, or if you are passing in the wrong variable, that error will happen as well.

If I weren't so PHP stupid I may be able to do it myself.

Great hack btw.

I'd also like to know.....how do you remove the space? So it would display as John, Pete, Barry and not John , Pete , Barry - as an example.

Also, how do you add a space on the WOL for the spiders - for example, instead of, yahoo! slurp(2) - I'd like to have yahoo! slurp (2)

Thanks.

To remove the space, Find this code in index.php:

eval('$activeusers .= ", ' . fetch_template('forumhome_loggedinuser') . '";');

Remove the space after the comma there.

[amykhar]

To ADD a space, in index.php,
Find:

 $loggedin['musername'] = key($spiderlist) . "(" . $spidername.")";

Add the space before the (

spiders dont show on the main forum page but if you click on WOL you will see spiders

eval('$activeusers .= ",' . fetch_template('forumhome_loggedinuser') . '";'); does'nt work for me.
