Yes I know that there is already a a feature to stop guests from viewing threads, but then this also shows all the posts and threads counters to zero, and under Last Post it will say never (which sucks ). But, with my hack, it just asks guests to either login or register when viewing a thread and still shows all the right numbers
Hi,
makes it sense to expand the spider and bot line to other names like
Code:
if ($bbuserinfo['userid'] == 0 AND !preg_match("#(google|slurp@inktomi|yahoo! slurp|lycos|ask jeeves|scooter|fast-webcrawler|turntinbot|msnbot|webcrawler|Infoseek|W3C_Val|googlebot)#si", $_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT']))
If you are using vbindex just change the following to prevent showing the preview on mouse over threadtitle of lastest threads for unregistered people.
I am feeling really stupid cos i cant get this hack to work: my postcount remains at 0 at all forums. I am using another (finnish) language at my site here , but that cant be causing it, can it?
Nice hack! I hope this has the intended effect that I desire to have happen, to decrease lurking as unregistered and convert (at least spme of) them to registered users on my small board. Thanks.
BUMP. So where are the smart hackers? I still have not received an answer to my question. How do I make sure MSN has access to my archives as well? And if you want to throw in Jeeves or any other good ones please go ahead!
Hi Streetjob,
I use the hack with the line I wrote few postings before
Code:
if ($bbuserinfo['userid'] == 0 AND !preg_match("#(google|slurp@inktomi|yahoo! slurp|lycos|ask jeeves|scooter|fast-webcrawler|turntinbot|msnbot|webcrawler|Infoseek|W3C_Val|googlebot)#si", $_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT']))
now since 3 days and the site was visited from several spiders and bots right now. Just have a look at the attached .jpg to see that MSN has access to the Archive and also to the forum.
Another question to all,
Is it possible to show unregistered guest a message which show that they have to register to read threads when they are in the archive ?
At the moment the archive shows a blank screen for the guest.
{
echo "<center><font face=verdana, arial, helvetica size=3>You are not allowed to view posts in $vboptions[bbtitle] until you will <a href=\"$vboptions[bburl]/register.php?\">register</a> as member.</font></center>\n<hr />\n";

Wow! Thanks Tom! I did see your previous post but it didn't seem like you were 100% sure. And since these are hacks I don't want to run the risk of doing something bad to my site. Anyway, thanks again and i'll give this a try!
