spider can give a group ADMIN? will be indexing the forums and threads for the guest does not have access?

[Ziki]

You can give your spiders admin access though I strongly advice you don't.Yes spiders will be able to see these but guests won't.

[darkdiver]

great Idea, but how do you recognise the spider?

Eric

[Ziki]

It uses the default vBulletin spider recognize feature (thus reads the spiders from your spiders_vbulletin.xml)

[mark370]

Mark presses Installed but has a question: when we give these bots a Username HTML Markup it never shows in online.php is there any reason for this ?
And is there anyway round it.

[Ziki]

No,because we cannot literally place a bot into a usergroup,but this only assigns them permissions of that usergroup.Thus when viewing the members of that usergroup,it is empty

[mark370]

Cheers for your prompt reply Ziki
