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.

This will get rid of the error message [ARG:3 UNDEFINED]

It should be $numberspiders to make it work with Amys addon.

Before any of you ask, this will be one of the last of my hacks that I upgrade to 3.5 because it is impossible to test except on a live site and I won't upgrade my live site until I have inferno quiz, petz and a few others working on the new version.

How can I only show spiders when logged in as admin and have the spiders show as guests to everyone else?
