Stop guests and spiders being counted

[Jade Elizabeth]

Link to Mod

I believe that spiders and guests aren't members. SMF 2.0 does not seem to agree with me, so with this code I have accomplished disabling them from being counted in the "most members online" statistic .

So in essence, this mod stops guests and spiders being counted for the "most online ever" statistic. There is no easy way to undo any "damages" the function caused (before my mod was installed, spiders and guests were counted, which may have messed up your statistics), so do NOT ask me unless you are willing to go and directly edit your database.

This mod is for 2.0 beta 4 ONLY.

Thank you Jade 

and I agree, guests shouldn't be counted as members 

[Jade Elizabeth]

you're welcome!

It was one of the first things I did when I upgraded my forum, and the time I reinstalled, so I decided to package it

A very nice mod. Well done Jade

[Jade Elizabeth]

Lol I'm starting small

* Jade gets a kick out of it

[K3TK3TK3T]

you should make this mod give like a list of everyone who was counted online at that time, just for fun

[Jade Elizabeth]

Gosh, if only I knew how to do that!

[Kreator]

Any chance of a 1.1.6 mod for it!... I`m getting fed up with spiders crawling my site!

[Jade Elizabeth]

They can crawl, but they arent counted in the most online stat in 1.1.6. If you want to stop spiders altogether, google "robots.txt" and make one, it will stop bots if you have the right thing .

Is there an option to ONLY block spiders as being counted.  I want my number to be the number of alive humans online...

No, but I can certainly make that for you
