Show Spiders Online on ForumHome · **Released**: 02-07-2005

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.

Why is it looking right on the front page: www.talkshack.com but looks like this:

Shack, please read the thread. That question has been asked and answered many times. When I look at your site, It doesn't look right on any page. This suggests to me that you haven't had it update to all styles.

Shackbase · #**184** 03-20-2005, 08:56 PM

oops - i thought i had changed to my new template - but the default was still the.. default.. thats fixed now..

damn - that online editor makes it look like there is a space between the ] and the 3= but in reality there isn't... i did not realize that til I just cut'n paste that portion in this post that I just edited.. in shame...

EXCELLENT mod - thanks guy!

	   next($spiderlist);

	}

Thanks much, does exactly what I want

Just a small tip: View the thread in print mode (Thread Tools->Show Printable version), you can then click on show 100 posts a page, this will reduce the time you need to scan all posts.

amykhar · #**193** 03-21-2005, 02:15 PM

Actually, his answer is in the first post of the thread

lasto · #**194** 03-21-2005, 02:53 PM

amykhar · #**195** 03-21-2005, 04:19 PM

It amuses me to no end that this has become my most popular hack. I've written others that were much more useful and others that were much more elaborate. Go figure
