Is it possible with SMF to adjust the forum, that it treats spider (e.g. google) as user groups?
Thanks..
Why? What kind of control do you want or do expect to have?
I mean a membergroup is one that you create, manage, etc. You can't do that with a bot / spider.
I want to create a forum, which only will be seen by a spider and not by others.
It sounds like a perfectly interesting "black hat" technique for shoving junk content on a site, capturing search traffic, but forcing users to login in (or similar).
Not a good idea for most sites, though, as search engines want their spiders to see the same thing as their human users.
2c.
Yes its possible.
The following is psuedo-code
if ( $spider )
$user_info['groups'][] = $some_group_id;
You'd have to edit Load.php
Ok, thank you very much Thantos..
