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.

has anyone got this to work with vBadvanced CMPS v2.0... cause this is what it shows 1 members and 0 guests and spiders

[divided_by_fear]

ok nm i got it after messing with a few codes...

I'm going to look at it some more today - but based on the issues I saw the other day, it is doubtful I can get this to work. I just don't have the time to devote to this at the present time.

My issue mainly stems from the fact that I have not worked with vbulletin code very much. I've worked with other platforms, but I've only had vbulletin for a month and a half and haven't had time to learn it.

[divided_by_fear]

ahhh nah i got it to work with your fix and with adv_portal_onlineusers edited then it worked with vbadvanced it now shows up right
1 members and 0 guests and 0 spiders

[davidw]

That's how mine shows too, but it always shows 0 spiders... It should reflect actual spiders. Or at least that's what it does on my site.

[divided_by_fear]

yeah i just started my site so i dont have any spiders showing up yet lol but ill test it out when the pricks stop by lol... but hey at least your trying to make it work...

See gang, that's why the title of this was show spiders on forum home, not show spiders on portal pages . I don't show who's online on my portal and have no need to redo the code.

[divided_by_fear]

well i guess that would help you out... but not the ones who want to show it on there portal... is there anyway you would be able to help? its a nice mod... but would be nice to see it working on there too...

Well then I guess you should make a special hack for portal pages, too?

[divided_by_fear]

i figured she would have cause she made on before for it but it seems now she dont want to lol...

[Snake]

What a shame...

is this really working? I checked when the msn bot on our site but this didnt show me the msn bot

[amykhar]

First question. When you look at your online.php, do you know it's a bot because the username says its a spider, or do you know it's a bot based on the ip address?

How do I correct the guest count? In otherwords, it's adding the total number of guests and spiders together and places that total in the parentheses for the guests.

So it looks like guests (6), MSNbot (4) when in fact there are are only 2 guests and 4 spiders. It doesn't effect the spider reporting, so in other words, in this example, MSNbot (4), is shown correctly.

Thanks in advance.

After some experimentation I was able to figure it out....just the change the code in index.php in this chunk....to this, if you want the same desired effect:

$spiderlist = array();
while ($spidercand = $db->fetch_array($spiders))
{
$userid = $spidercand['userid'];
if (!empty($vbulletin->wol_spiders))
{
if (preg_match('#(' . $vbulletin->wol_spiders['spiderstring'] . ')#si', $spidercand['useragent'], $agent))
{
$agent = strtolower($agent[1]);
$spider = $vbulletin->wol_spiders['agents']["$agent"];
$key = $spider['name'];
if(array_key_exists($key,$spiderlist))
{
$spiderlist[$key] = $spiderlist[$key] + 1;
}
else
{

$spiderlist[$key] = 1;

}


$numberspiders++;

}
}
}

$numberguest = $numberguest - $numberspiders;

if ($numberguest > 0)
{
if ($numberguest > 1)
{
$loggedin['musername'] = "Guest (".$numberguest.")" ;
}
else
{
$loggedin['musername'] = "Guest";
}
$loggedin['userid'] = 0;
eval('$activeusers .= ", ' . fetch_template('forumhome_loggedinuser') . '";');
}

while ($spidername = current($spiderlist))
{
if ($spidername > 1) {
$loggedin['musername'] = key($spiderlist) . " (" . $spidername.")";
}
else
{
$loggedin['musername'] = key($spiderlist);
}
$loggedin['userid'] = 0;
eval('$activeusers .= ", ' . fetch_template('forumhome_loggedinuser') . '";');
next($spiderlist);
}

// memory saving
unset($userinfos, $loggedin);

$activeusers = substr($activeusers, 2); // get rid of initial comma

$db->free_result($forumusers);

$totalonline = $numberregistered + $numberguest + $numberspiders;
$numberinvisible = $numberregistered - $numbervisible;
