Show Spiders Online on ForumHome

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.

you read the thread. The answers are there.

You add search engine spiders in the Admin CP. It's standard with vBulletin. As for your second question, I'm not sure how. You would probably have to edit the templates...

ok

ive read through the whole thread now and cant seem to see a fix for my problem

on the forum home it displays like this:

Currently Active Users: 14 (1 members and 13 guests and 0 spiders)

when i click "currently Active users" it displays like this:

1 members and 8 guests and 5 spiders

ive gone through the hack 3 times and ive done it exactly the same.

the only thing i can seee wrong is the forum home template edit cos thats the front page right? but ive checked that and ive replaced the text correctly.

is there a error in the instructions maybe any had this problem and fixed it?

please help i really want this hack

Which version are you using, amy's or Kirby's plug-in?

[amykhar]

This is the 3.0.6 version Bob. No plugins apply.

[Boofo]

whoops! Wrong forum, sorry, amy. ;

[amykhar]

As to the problem, make sure you have the variable names correct in the template and code edits. If you get the wrong variable, it will show 0.
