Googlebot & Spiders

[christicehurst]

what a great mod. I've got it too work with a theme I'm using (called Pn-Pn (for 1.1 RC3) by koni). Anyway to get it to work is easy, you will need to modify three files:

• yourtheme/index.template.php
• yourtheme/BoardIndex.template.php
• yourtheme/languages/Modifications.english(or what ever).php

Backup those three files first into a backup directory on your hard disk, just incase the mod does not work, at least you have a backup original copy.

Now open (if you have not already un-zipped the files into a directory on your hard disk) install.xml.

Look for the following lines:

• <file name="$languagedir/Modifications.english.php">
• <file name="$themedir/index.template.php">
• <file name="$themedir/BoardIndex.template.php">

And look what lines need to be edited in each file. Don't worry, they are not many and with a quick copy and paste into the search box you can then find each line very easily.

Open each file and modify to what the install.xml file says.

Now upload each file to it's directory for the theme your using, login to admin in your forum, go to "Features and Options" and you should now see the link for this mod.

Hope this helps everyone,

How about you update the mod for us.

It might be able to be done but I think it would take a alot of work. On the other hand in order to be put into a membergroup you have to be registered which bots can't do so maybe it's not possible.

This is a great mod. I love it! But is there any way to add the spiders and bots to a member group? I have all my forums setup so you have to login to view the content so the spiders can only list the forum title but no threads without being in the members group.

No one knows if this is possible?

Open each file and modify to what the install.xml file says.

If you don't understand the install.xml file, upload it to http://server.daniel15.com/smf_xml/modification.php?action=file . This will parse the XML file, and show you exactly what you need to do

Also, is this MOD compatible with SMF 1.1 yet? I may try it out later.

When is this great mod upgraded to SMF 1.1 Final boards?

[Witte]

I installed it on !.! final no problems. The only glitch is the settings won't update the database, so you have to alter them manually in the database. It doesn't throw up any errors, and seems to work fine...

Excellent mod... well done..

I have one minor glitch.. (I think)

I use TinyPortal mod aswell..   so at the bottom of the page I should have: 

Users: 1
Guests: 1
Total: 2

But no "Spiders: ?"

See attached screenshot.

How can I fix it ?

Check out tinyportal website on how to add that to that block

Tiny Portal 0.9.7 was released today.  Hopefully, this mod will be compatible with the new version and 1.1 Final

Which settings in the database? What did you need to change? Where?

Thanks!

The settings in smf_settings ::

ob_googlebot_display_all_instances 1
      ob_googlebot_count_all_instances 1
      ob_googlebot_display_agent 0
      ob_googlebot_display_own_list 1
      ob_googlebot_count_most_online 1
      ob_googlebot_redirect_phpsessid 1
      ob_googlebot_stats 1


I have to do them manually to change them, if I do it from the admin in SMF, it doesn't do it, and it also resets the PM options...

Where are you getting those variables, 1 and 0?

These are the columns I see in the database:
agent board topic url lastvisit frequency visits timestamp

[Witte]

phpmyadmin/smf_database?/smf_settings/browse/ (Near the end...) You can alter the variables, either 1 or 0, true or false...

But in my installation I can't change these variables via the admin cp...

So is this good with 1.1 final yet or not? 

[RoarinRow]

I didn't try the fix that Witte posted above.  I'm scared  lol

Can you change the settings via Admin cp? and did it alter anything in the new pm settings? ie the visual verification, and the number of pm's can be sent at once etc?

I can confirm this. I can even see when Google last visited my page.
