List Search engine Spider at Who's online · **Released**: 06-07-2003

I've created this hack, cause I wanted to see, when search engine spiders are browsing my forums.

This hack adds a textbox, where you can enter a list of Spider-IPs, so they would be recognized as 'Search engine spider' on who's online.

I'm using the lists from www.iplists.com right now and it seems to work without problems, though I've had to add some IPs from Inktomisearch that aren't listed there.

First I've used parts of the banip-function, but that was really slow then, so I've had to tweak it. Now its only slightly slower, than without it. You won't even recognize it.

I've ported it to the banip-function in order to reduce server-load, when using a big list of banned IPs. I'll release that, when I'm finished here.

Screenshots:

PS: I'd be happy, if you only click install, if you really installed it, since I want to know, how many really installed it and since I need feedback.

I've added a version, that uses the useragent rather, than using an IP-List. I recommend using spiderips_useragent.txt from now on.

That hack doesn't affect index.php or any other file, except online.php, so this hack is hardly related to this. You have to find out, which requires you to apply the change you've posted above.

btw: which version of MySQL is your Database-Server running?

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