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.

I actually use that portal, Venom. So, if I get time I'll do it later today. Others, feel free to post the fixes for other portals.

does it affect the load in any way?

amykhar · #**201** 03-24-2005, 03:42 PM

There's one extra query on the forumhome page.

Caveman2k2 · #**202** 03-25-2005, 03:35 AM

Any update on the cmps add in? I'm just waiting for that to install this hack.

Thanks

I should have read this thread before installing it in my cmps lol :ermm:

amykhar · #**204** 03-25-2005, 02:05 PM

Yep. Especially since the very first post says it doesn't work with portals

sorry, but the first post doesnt say it doesnt work...

it says:

which is different

I thought I was the first one to give it a try on the cmps... until I read that post by shackbase

amykhar · #**206** 03-25-2005, 02:25 PM

Actually, my statement is true. If you want it to work in a portal, you are going to have to add the code to make it work. Once you change the code, it works.

You just have to take the time to figure out what code to change.

Caveman2k2 · #**207** 03-25-2005, 02:37 PM

So, does this mean you're not going to release the code to fix the error people get on vba? If not, that's okay. I'm just wondering if I should keep checking this thread

Technically your recent statement is not true... because you are saying:

when it says:

you are not saying is doesnt work, you are saying that it has to be modified to make it work...

ANYWAYS..... lol

I will keep playing with it, if I find a way to make it work I will post the solution...

Polo · #**210** 03-25-2005, 08:07 PM

I had a go at it also, but again no cigar.

I noticed this thread on Brian's forum which gives a work around, but unfortunately no fix..
