Does this work on RC1?

I just added a new .zip for RC1, please try it.

[Teknomancer]

No it doesn't work in RC1.

I got the following errors:

Code Select Expand

./Sources/BoardIndex.php     Test failed
./Sources/ManagePermissions.php   Test failed
./Sources/Subs.php                      Test failed
./SSI.php                                    Test failed

Any help would be apprecited

Oops.. sorry it works. I forgot to REMOVE the OLDER Version. thanks.

Worked like a charm for me on SMF 1.1 RC1

Hi,

me too: Works fine on the RC1, but... 

On the who-is-online-and-where-page it counts Spiders as Guests... But Installation works fine and shows no errors. Any idea?



Edit: The two guests on the picture are Spiders... Oh, but on the Index all works fine.

Have this mod installed and all, I'm yet to see ANY spiders or agents ... I don't know whether it's working or not.

You can install this firefox extension:

Then, add googlebot, msnbot to the user agents, so you can test it.

Here is some info about the values you can add:

Hmmm... Nice firefox extention. I'll try that out..

[Placeman]

After working out some permission problems on the server, I was able to succesfully install this mod.  It is now listed as installed.  I don't, though, see any settings for it under "features and options."  I am running RC1.  The bots are not being recognized either.  Something is awry.  Any ideas?

[Omar Bazavilvazo]

Probably wasn't installed correctly. Use the default theme and try again

[RoarinRow]

I tryed to install but I get this error:

./Sources/ManagePermissions.php Failure

So, what must I do now?

Thank you for answer.

On your packages list you have

#. Googlebot & Spiders Mod 1.0.1   [ Apply Mod ] [ List Files ] [ Delete ]

Click on List files

You should get a list like the one below. Select the one in bold.

List files in package
Files in archive Googlebot_v1.0.1.zip:
install.txt (357 bytes)
install.xml (12918 bytes)
package-info.xml (575 bytes)
SMF Mod TOS Draft.doc (21504 bytes)
[ Back ] 


You will now have a list of the changes the mod is susposed to make.

Search down the page until you see

   <file name="$sourcedir/ManagePermissions.php">

Find the below lines in your forum copy of Manage Permissions.php they should be in there somewhere

Code Select Expand


                                                )
                                ),
                                'board' => array(
                                                'general_board' => array(


Make the lines in your ManagePermissions.php match lines from the install.xml it should look like the text in the code section above and try to reapply the mod.

If it still fails. Uninstall all installed mods and replace the ManagePermissions with the original one from the smf_1-0-3_install.tar.gz then try installing the spiders mod first. Then simply reinstall the rest of your mods. If it still doesn't work you might wanna try a fresh install.

I'm not too clear on how to resolve this issue with uninstall/reinstalling other mods.  Any suggestions/clarifications?

Thanks

This mod doesn't work on my forum. I'm having 1.1 RC1 and I've installed it fine. But it doesn't show google bot even when google bot is crawling my site....

I don't know what could be wrong, but I'm using a Ig-Oh theme on my site. Does that have anything to do with it?

[DemonicInfluence]

you need to manually modify the files...

[Teknomancer]

How to modify the files ?

[Bigguy]

You need to download the Who.template.php file found on this site and then you need to modify the index.template.php file of the theme you want it to work on, I think it is.
