Sorry to hear that some of you are experiencing problems.

My install went smoothly, no problems experienced and my error log is clear.

I'm wondering if you guys maybe have a mod installed that's common between all of you that is causing the error.

I'm sure Omar will be be able to get to the bottom of it but I wonder if posting what mods you have on your forums would help. 

Thanks Omar, great mod!

Do all of your check marks get saved in the googlebots and spiders section though? Mine won't save three options.

[MattJ]

If you look in the modifications file you can often spot the problem...

Mine failed with this code

Code Select Expand

'karma' => array(
'title' => $txt['smf293'],
'href' => $scripturl . '?action=featuresettings;sa=karma;sesc=' . $context['session_id'],
'is_last' => true,
),

Because 'is_last' => true, is actually added to 'sig' in my modsettings file

Code Select Expand

'sig' => array(
'title' => $txt['signature_settings'],
'description' => $txt['signature_settings_desc'],
'href' => $scripturl . '?action=featuresettings;sa=sig;sesc=' . $context['session_id'],
'is_last' => true,

...which is why it failed...

I made the changes manually to modsettings.php and all was fine with the install then.

Looks like I did the same as Omar and missed the obvious!

As you point out, goitalone, the check boxes aren't being accounted for.

An update would be appreciated when you get the chance Omar, still a great mod though!

So I am not the only one eh?

To be honest, I had the same problem on an install of smf 1.1.1 on the default theme even before this updated version came about. Not sure why it never worked or saved those three settings or if was even suppose to ( I would think it would), but it never worked right for me...that's all I know.

[Omar Bazavilvazo]

hmm
ok
i will do more tests, and come with an update tomorrow

[goitalone]

K thats cool...take yer time

I installed the Mod this morning, and it went in without a hiccup.  Thank you!!

As a sort of side note, I installed this mod with the FlashChat Integration Mod already in place at our forum. There have been some issues identified in the past with the two mods not working together, but I didn't have any problems with putting the Googlebot mod "on top" of the FlashChat mod.

I've got some custom themes that need the BoardIndex.template.php files adjusted so the spiders show up in the Users Online list, but I expected that. (Our Admin Team is debating not making those changes, since we don't really care how many spiders are crawling the forum as long as the numbers don't show up in our tally of Guests.)

Thanks again, Omar. We loooooooooove this mod.

when i installed this mod on to my forum (1.1.2) i got this at the top of my site:

Code Select Expand

// OB - Googlebot - Begin // Boardindex Strings $txt['ob_googlebot_modname'] = 'Googlebot & Spiders'; $txt['ob_googlebot_spider'] = 'Spider'; $txt['ob_googlebot_spiders'] = 'Spiders'; $txt['ob_googlebot_spiders_last_active'] = 'Spiders active in past ' . $modSettings['lastActive'] .

I just installed this mod (1.1.2) and can't get the same 3 checkmarks to save that others have mentioned.  I didn't have any errors with the install.   I'll keep watching in case someone comes up with the fix.

Great mod, Omar.

A bit more info here, after installing this mod, and attempting to check one of the boxes that are unchecked, I checked my error log and found this:

I have enabled reporting of pms and checked the settings and they had all been changed to zero.

Should I uninstall this mod or do I have something else going on?

[wmiles]

Same here, 3 options dont save.

Can you also let me know if you have to change anything to make it work with other templates other than default?

[cheyne]

^^^ ditto ..  I cant even see the spiders bit on my front page ...     options wont save

[goitalone]

Like I said, I never got them to work even on the old version. Makes me wonder if they ever saved in the first place.
