Show Spiders Online on ForumHome

This is a port of my 3.0.x modification. It shows, on your forumhome page, any spiders that are present (ones that show as a spider on your who's online page)

NOTE: If you are using a portal that shows who's online, this mod will mess up your portal. As of this date, I do not know of any working portals for 3.5 and I do not have the code to fix portals.

Please understand what this mod does before you start crying that it doesn't work. This mod will show any spiders who show up as a spider on who's online as a spider on the forumhome page. It will NOT show a spider who shows up as a guest on who's online as a spider. It does not add additional spiders to the list either.

PLEASE DO NOT INSTALL THIS IF YOU ARE UNABLE TO ADJUST YOUR OWN PORTAL TEMPLATES SO THAT THE PHRASE DOES NOT CONTAIN AN ERROR.

- Does not cause Problems with other (Portal)Scripts
- Lighter Query
- Less Code
- Less File Edits

Yeah sorry i was going to come back and edit, so does this mean I can replace the edited php files to the stock files and just install the plug ins and templeate mods in your file??

So I guess that's a no... :ermm:

You can just create a guest session and edit the Useragent in the session Table - or switch the Useragent in your Browser (if it does support doing so; Opera does out of the Box, Firefox with Extensions)

Oh okay... yeah... I have no idea what you just said.

Anyone? And what about my other problem about the Spiders not being listed. They appear on the members list but not in the # of members and guests active.

Xplorer, if you are using Kirby's version, please contact him directly for support rather than confusing this thread.

Thanks

[Xplorer4x4]

I thought that was agsint the rules? Technically I am using both of your hacks I guess. I am using your code mod and Kirby's plug in. Either way I will PM him.

Thanks.

Perfect! ^_^ I used KirbyDE's version and I only needed to edit one file. Perfect! ^_^

Amy I got the vBaCMPS installed on my forums and for the Online Users module it says "2 members, 2 guests and [ARG:3 UNDEFINED] spiders"

What do I do to fix this?

Guess it's your problem

@Kirby: I had installed your's on a fresh vB 3.5 RC3 and all it did was "Currently Active Users: 1 Members 3 Guests and Spiders"...note the missing zero since there wasn't

and sorry Amy for posting this in your thread as I cant seem to find Kirby's.
