Assign usergroup to crawlers/bots

[Cornolio]

Is it possible to assign a usergroup only to crawlers and bots?
Now i've assigned a search-engine-optimized style to unregistred users, but i'd like to modify the style to reduce links.
The problem is that i'd prefer not to remove links for unregistred users

** UNTESTED **

In global.php
FIND

PHP Code:

define('VB_AREA', 'Forum'); 


BELOW that ADD

PHP Code:

if (!is_array($specialtemplates)) 
{
    $specialtemplates = array('wol_spiders');
}
else
{
    $specialtemplates = array_merge($specialtemplates, array('wol_spiders'));
} 


FIND

PHP Code:

$styleid = intval($styleid); 


BELOW that ADD

PHP Code:

$spiderstring = $datastore['wol_spiders']['spiderstring'];
if (preg_match("#($spiderstring)#si", strtolower($session['useragent'])))
{
    $styleid = X;
} 


To test if this does work you must change your useragent.
Please note that X must be replaced with the style ID you want to assign.
