Googlebot & Spiders

[speedfreak87]

Is this a direct install? or will I run into issues with the mods i have already installed?

these are the one's I have installed.
Mod Name Version 
1. Signature Settings Mod 1.1
2. SMF 1.0.12 / 1.1.4 / 2.0 b1.1 Update 1.0 
3. Display Signatures Only Once Per Page 1.2
4. MessagePreviewOnHover 1.5 
5. Users Online Today Mod 1.4.0
6. Ad Managment 2.3

I'm wanting to kill these darn bots, they totally upped my most online count today, and it's more then the people that were online today. (or at least at the time is states)

Also, will it work with the gallery mod since I'll be installing that next week.

It should install no problem with the mods you have installed. Yes it works with the gallery also. This mod will NOT stop the spiders though eh..... All it does is count them and give them a name on your board. If you want to stop the spiders all together then you should google "robot.txt"

Im running SMF 1.1.4, and TP 0.9.8.
And have the TP Invasion theme installed..    This theme supports the Mod.

I have these mods installed:

1.     TinyPortal  0.983 
2.    Are You Human? Anti-Bot Registration Check 1.0    
3.    E-Arcade  2.4.2
4.    Welcome Topic Mod  1.0    
5.    Add Domaintools to TrackIP  1.0    
6.    Country Flags    1.0.1    
7.    Googlebot & Spiders Mod  2.0.3    
8.    Invite    1.14

I dont see why I would have this problem, but maybe one of our more experienced users, could see the problem

Thankyou in advance

Your error is a variant on the most common error of all those reported on these pages...it tells you that another mod you have installed has already edited the file in question and that you thus need to do a manual installation of this mod. Please read:

where do I change it so the correct English syntax is displayed on the bottom of the page... should say 'Google last visited this page on" instead of "Google visited last this page'?

Hi All,
I installed this MOD "Googlebot_v2_0_3_only_smf1.1.x.zip", the result is successful but I can not see anything at my forum bottom such as:

"Google last visited..."

Do I miss something?
Thanks.

[Smith6612]

Are you using a theme away from the default? That might be why.

[target_locked]

Yes, that's the problem. The MOD only work with default theme.
How to make it work with any themes?
Thanks.

this is what I get on my page


6, 0 guests, 1 User

and this error in my logs
/home/XXX/public_html/Themes/default/BoardIndex.template.php (main sub template - eval?

Go here
/Forum/Themes/Default/Modifications.english.php

Line 224    $txt['ob_googlebot_stats_lastvisit'] = 'Google visited last this page' ';

and change to
$txt['ob_googlebot_stats_lastvisit'] = 'Google last visited this page on ';

Why people dont seem to understand this is beyond me... but if your using a theme other than the default theme you need to hand edit your cusom theme with the mod changes to get it to work... but this DOES work with 1.1.4 & custom themes as of today seeing as how I just installed it on my 3rd forum...

[Bigguy]

No need to get angry. Everything takes time.

If that came accross as angry I apologize, but yes I to use to be the same way but it seems like you have to tell people 10 + times before they go oh wait a min thats what I have to do...

@ MoreBloodWine

Personally I tend to have some stock answers handy for such situations and so it's not a lot of bother to just cut and paste them in the reply box...it also means that I can spend more time on the members who do read the past postings and do try to help themeselves...pasting in stock answers gives the people the information they need so nobody loses and your blood pressure stays managable.

Hi,

I installed this Mod and got the following errors on my forum error log:

2: fclose(): supplied argument is not a valid stream resource
File: /home/gemigene/public_html/forumsoft/Sources/Subs-Package.php
Line: 1908

2: fopen(/home/gemigene/public_html/forumsoft/Themes/default/languages/Modifications.spanish.php) [<a href='function.fopen'>function.fopen</a>]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory
File: /home/gemigene/public_html/forumsoft/Sources/Subs-Package.php
Line: 1901

How crucial are those error? I realize I don't have Español installed, could this be the reason for the error?

Also, the screencap in the permissions is not the same as shown on the Mod page, mine shows as follows (see attachment)

Thanks,
Gene

If your forum is a spanish speaking forum then maybe...

[gemigene]

If your forum is a spanish speaking forum then maybe...

Only want to make sure that the errors were caused by the package manager trying to write to the Spanish language file.

Waiting for Bots to spider the forum to see if the Mod is working... LOL!

Hasta luego y gracias,
Gene

It appears that furl_open may not be enabled on your server. A number of mods won't work without it being available but if enabled it can open vulnerabilities which is why some hosts disable it.

Thanks for answering. So, I assume the Mod will not work? Should I uninstall it? I haven't had any Bots since I installed it so I have no clue if it'll work or not...
