Googlebot & Spiders

[Omar Bazavilvazo]

in fact, all spiders ARE guests, they are only displayed as spiders, but for access and permisions, they ARE guests.

[DemonicInfluence]

Yes, it is fine, but the idea of giving spiders more permissions is bad..

How difficult would it be to make this mod compatible with the ignore boards mod? For multi-language forums, it'd be a really good thing. Thanks!

Can I see some manual install of googlebot? My server is in Safe Mode... therefore I can't install , just.. manual upload the files..

[DemonicInfluence]

Just follow in instructions in the install.xml...

Yay! This mod is finally working for me!!
I just saw a couple of bots "GigaBot" , "MSN Spider" , "Google AdSense bot"
why is there a bot for google adsense?
and whats gigabot? which search engine is it associated with? any idea?

[Bigguy]

Glad you got it working, Google adsense has to be crawled to I guess. I see that gigabot in there all the time I`m not sure were its from.

[Prasad007]

I googled it . Gigabot is from www.gigablast.com

never even heard of this one

[Bigguy]

Me neither actually. Its on my site all the time, nothing to really worry about.

Could this be modified to identify, as a seperate category, existing members who haven't logged in or who have recently logged in and other specific guests like ones who camp or banned members. I have no problems about having to create a custom field or array etc.

Anyone?

SMF logs guest IP's, but where? Then, if you consistantly see ones not belonging to members or bots, to add them to a table or array of IP's, so that Admins and Moderators can identify who is camping?

Say something like

Code Select Expand


array (
                        'ip' => '127.0.0.1',
                        'id' => 'Camper-1',
                        'camper' => true,
                ),

it can be done, but this functionality you are asking is out of my intented purpose of this mod.

[nokonium]

I realise that and I wouldn't expect you to add it to your Mod. To have been able to extend your mod, which we have installed and find very useful, to include another class of guest, bringing with it the benefit of membergroup permissions, would have been very useful.

Unfortunately coding it myself is well outside my capability.

Thank you

Is it possible to insert Googlebots & Spiders into Users online Today  

[Omar Bazavilvazo]

i'm planning to add it to next version

[ckacey]

I'm running SMF 1.06 and guests are able to see spiders.  I set the mod to not allow this, and I also set SMF so guests can't see who's online. I was running 1.04 of this mod and it worked for a while but then guests could see spiders.  I've upgraded to version 1.05 and they can still see spiders, I reset the permissions they way they needed to be (disallow guests viewing spiders).  www.grlt.com
Any ideas?

[Prasad007]

goto guests permissions
click modify
then disable the googlebot and spiders option

[ckacey]

right now they are disallowed, I'm going to try disable and see if it makes a difference.

[ckacey]

changed from disallow to Deny and everything is proper now.
Thanks Prasad007
