I am a little late in seeing this Mod but I do like it as a new site I want to actually see the spider views over real guests and get a realistic idea how many guests are on.

I noticed that it was counting bots but it was not showing the name in the Who's online section just the count so I would get

Cezz, Mo0o0oh, FallenAngel, (4), (2), , , all the blanks/numbers being bots but the names not showing :S... I have downloaded and uploaded the latest XML file is there something else I need to do to make the names start appearing?

Hi majsm,

I am having the same issue as some of the other people here. I followed the instructions step by step and uploaded the latest spiders_vbulletin.xml from this website: http://spiderlist.codeforgers.com/list.php

The couple issues I am seeing:

1. Guests are marked as Spiders
2. I have yet seen a Spider that shows its name

I will be glad to assist in debugging, so let me know what information you need.

Thanks.

I looked on your website and it says it's vb 3.7. This add-on has not yet been tested on 3.7

I however am running vB4.0.2 and I am also having no spiders names, I haven't noticed guests showing as spiders though.

Any Fix?

Hello majsm,

You probably went to my old website. I have a new website on 4.0.2. Here it is:

http://www.boricuagaming.com

The file is located here:

http://www.boricuagaming.com/include..._vbulletin.xml

Thanks.

EDIT: I checked the XML I'm using with the one on your website and they are exactly the same. The only difference is the directory structure (yours is in <HOME>/forum/includes/xml, while mine is in <HOME>/includes/xml), which should be ok because my forum home is the root of my website.

OK, I found what the problem is...

To everybody experiencing the problem, please go to your AdminCP, Who's Online Options, and for the Enable Spider Display select YES!!!

Save and voila, problem solved.

Perhaps this should be included in the instructions on the initial post.

BTW, are you considering a future version? If so, it would be nice to see the right data here too: http://www.boricuagaming.com/online.php

I'm happy with the mod showing the spiders on the Forum Home page, just wanted to throw it in case you are looking to add new function in the future.

Guys, INSTALL this mod. It works fine!

Thanks.

hello how to fix validator error


# Error Line 2658, Column 429: character data is not allowed here

?or: #FF0000'>Extra PC</span></a></li> , Google, Yahoo! Slurp, Google AdSense

✉

You have used character data somewhere it is not permitted to appear. Mistakes that can cause this error include:

* putting text directly in the body of the document without wrapping it in a container element (such as a <p>aragraph</p>), or
* forgetting to quote an attribute value (where characters such as "%" and "/" are common, but cannot appear without surrounding quotes), or
* using XHTML-style self-closing tags (such as <meta ... />) in HTML 4.01 or earlier. To fix, remove the extra slash ('/') character. For more information about the reasons for this, see Empty elements in SGML, HTML, XML, and XHTML.

[wolfyman]

There are currently 367 users online. 273 members and 0 guests and 94 spiders

Think there's something goofy about that?

[mmacrypt]

I have it installed, same as a lot of folks, all guest are showing up as spiders and no names. tried fix that kasht mentioned and no change. I'm going to sleep on it and see if it "fixes itself" by morning if not, sadly going to have to uninstall.
