eXtend Show Spiders · **Released**: 10-20-2006

What this hack does is extends vbulletins base functionality for $show['search_engine']. By defualt vbulletin only recognizes three spiders well this hack extends it to around 300 or so spiders.

I would say more about this and or provide screenshots if only that was possible for this. Basicly this is using a function i made to identify spiders and modified the vbulletin show variable for spiders.

This is a great seo mod becuase it helps filter out the useless junk that spiders dont care about.

I no longer have time to support my mods here so please report suggestions and other things: http://vbhacks.extremewebtech.com/fo...read.php?t=167

I will try to maintain the latest version of this hack on here but no promises.

If you took at look at this you would notice its not dealing with that spider system. Its dealing with the $show['search_engine'] variable defined in the init process using

PHP Code:


			
// conditional used in templates to hide things from search engines.
$show['search_engine'] = ($vbulletin->superglobal_size['_COOKIE'] == 0 AND preg_match("#(google|msnbot|yahoo! slurp)#si", $_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT']));

Give me a list of them and ill rebuild the function file every so often and release updated products that are using it.

I get the blank white page too, have uploaded all files to forums/ewt & forums/ewt/core uploaded product but blank screen everytime?

AzzidReign · #17 10-22-2006, 06:22 PM

I know when I would get blank pages, it meant that there was another mod that was conflicting with the current mod. Do you guys have the template cache mod installed? I know that was the big one that gave me some trouble...

Anyways, great hack! *installed*

It only effects what spiders see using vbulletins defualt method for that. I just extended it to support more spiders for the spider detection variable.

lol. Sorry, my bad. Do not think about that before I posted. Sorry :knockedout:

I installed this mod, but in my haste thought it was a mod that showed the Spider's on the Index page....I'm getting these error messages on my CPANEL error log

It is not a VB3 engine, just a parsed copy!
