just show not want chat .

adminCP -> settings -> options -> vSA - chatbox -> there's a block called 'permissions' where you can tailor usergroup access.

oh man a widget for this is needed bad. i have already committed to the vb cms, its pretty nice imo.

PirateTinman · #**1254** 07-14-2010, 06:09 PM

I am playing with the whole widget idea, no progress on this yet. Would be a nice feature if you just had to copy a line of text into a widget.

How can I disable the Archive for unregistered users?

We're experiencing this same issue on our forums (running 4.0.2PL4). We have guests disabled from viewing the chatbox, but there still seems to be a ton of spiderbots that get caught looking in the Chatbox Archive.

If you go to http://www.spacetimestudios.com/online.php you can see all the guests that are viewing the chatbox archive.

I've tried disallowing guests from viewing the chatbox via the permissions, but it doesn't fix it.

I've tried including the below in my robots.txt file to keep the bots out of those pages:

Code:

User-agent: *
Disallow: /misc.php?do=ccarc

but I'm not sure if that's the correct way to do it.

We've just let it go, but we were up to like 8,000 connected users (when traffic to the site is usually around 100 or so peak time).

Any suggestions to correct this? We love the chatbox but would like the who's online section to reflect the accurate numbers of users.

Thanks in advance for any input you have.

Oh, clarification - when we have it set so that guests cannot view the chatbox, the bots and the inflated numbers of connected guests dissapears.

However, we'd really like for people who are not registered to be able to view the chatbox. Our players use the chatbox to coordinate their PvP tourneys. While having guests not view might be good to drive them to register, we would like anyone who wants to, to view the chatbox.

Is there anyway to disable access to the chatbox archive by permissions?
