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.

Lifesource, when that happens, you probably missed a chunk of the code edits on index.php. Triple check that file.

Just quadriple checked and everything is as stated in textfile. It may just be v3.0.3.

I am on 3.0.3 too and it worked great for a day, but now it doesn't show any spiders either even though I know they come on everday.

I never said it worked on 3.0.3 gang. Sorry, but I am only supporting this one from 3.0.6 up. If you want to use newer hacks on older versions, you're going to have to take it upon yourselves to figure out how to make that work.

1 members and 4 guests and [ARG:3 UNDEFINED] spiders
How do I fix this?

I love the hack, but I've got a problem.

Example:
Right now I've got 50 members, 43 guest and 18 spiders.
On who's online it works for "all" and shows the right numbers.
When I choose "members" it says 50 members, -18 guest and 18 spiders.
When I choose "guests" it says 0 members, 25 guests and 18 spiders.
When I choose "spiders" it says 0 members, 0 guest and 18 spiders.

Can anyone confirm this?

[amykhar]

You're probably right. I'll look into the bug. I've never played with those dropdowns before.
