Googlebot & Spiders

[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

I just looked at the install file and my own ManagePermission file and did find one comma that was missing in the install.xml file.  I then uninstalled and reinstalled with the change and I still get failure for the ManagePermission file.

Any other workaround other than uninstalling existing mods.

Here's what I have so far on my SMF 1.0.5 forum:

1. SMF Arcade 1.2.1   [ Uninstall ] [ List Files ] [ Delete ] 
2. Faster Parsecode 1.09   [ Uninstall ] [ List Files ] [ Delete ] 
3. VisualWarning 1.27   [ Uninstall ] [ List Files ] [ Delete ] 
4. Integrated Chat 2.3   [ Uninstall ] [ List Files ] [ Delete ] 
5. Ultimate Shoutbox 1.31   [ Uninstall ] [ List Files ] [ Delete ] 
6. Karma Description Mod 1.9.2   [ Uninstall ] [ List Files ] [ Delete ] 

Thanks in advance.

instead of:

Code Select Expand


'challenge_view' => false,
)

),
'board' => array(



you should have:

Code Select Expand


'challenge_view' => false,
),
'googlebot' => array(
'googlebot_view' => false,
),
),
'board' => array(
'general_board' => array(


that is because you have arcade mod, and didn't check the "failed" when you installed the package.

This fix worked for me since my only error message was with my ManagePermission.php file.  I manually made this update and it appear in my Edit Permissions area.  Thanks!

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.

Sorry for the persistent questions, but how do I modify the index.template.php to make the googlebot mod work? There doesn't seem to be any info regarding this.

[Bigguy]

I guess you only modify the index.template.php if your installing onto another theme other than the default.

[Teknomancer]

I think the BoardIndex template needs to be changed as there is no trace of googlebot being installed correctly there.... hmm

A good program to see the differences between 2 files is Winmerge. You can check it out here.

I cant say with absolute certainty that its not, but I dont see why it would be against any terms of service anywhere. No I cant see it definately not. IMHO.

Awesome, this installed without a problem.  For me, that's remarkable, as I'm new to SMF, I converted from Phpbb, and I'm glad I did.   

This was the first mod I installed and downloaded in SMF

Also I've found out that it's easier to create new themes for SMF then PHPbb.  How come nobody told me about this software sooner?  It took me getting hacked twice to find you guys.   

BTW. whats the difference between a "miner" and a "bot"  and why doesn't a miner show as a bot?

This mod can only tell if it is bot or not, is it if u define it. If u say its a bot, it will display as a bot..

U go  to subs.php and just copy the code for bots and put in a new bots name. Then it will display as a spider..

[Bigguy]

Ok but that doesnt tell us what it is. Is it a search engine What is a "webminer"

[Sheepy]

webminers are what search engines use to crawl and retreve you site so they know what's on your site.  Also called spiders or robots.

[Bigguy]

Ok so theres nothing dangerous about this Rufusbot then. Cool.

Roger that, and done it.  Man, I didn't think that sub.php file was so big.

I can't see any spider mods under Edit Membergroups.. Is there any manual way to add those code to manage permission.php? 

because when i install the mods it says that manage permission is fail to copy. Thanks

You have to edit the template of the theme you are using, IMHO.

Your reply could mean anything! How about some detail
