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.

Well, there's nothing to stop you releasing an 'as is' version. Unsupported, basically. Plenty do the same. It says quite clearly what it's for and what it doesn't work with, if people are too stupid to read first and/or do a backup that's their problem. They have nobody to blame except themselves.

I'm sure everyone is very grateful for whatever you could give, if you have a little more in you that would be very nice

I've already created two more important (than the portal part) hacks and plan for more. Maybe one day I'll share - if I can see if people wanting my types of hacks. Thanks for all you have done Amy. It is appreciated.

christain can't you do it yourself man? I know you can do it.

Looks like this isn;t going to work in 3.5.2, atleast not using Kirbys plug in and the one file edit. Amy is yours working in 3.5.2?

Why won't Kirby's plug-in work for 3.5.2? It should work fine.

When I make the index.php edit I get:
Parse error: parse error, unexpected T_CONSTANT_ENCAPSED_STRING, expecting ')' in /public_html/forums/index.php on line 31

I also used the file edit Boofo recomended. I placed this in config.php right above the clossing:

Please advise as this Welcome to the [ARG:3 UNDEFINED] forums. comes up on the popup to welcome my guests... and also shows up in the Whos Online... This is nothing to do with my Portal this is the main forum issue....
