Cool mod thx 

On site i dont need to show more options for bots but....
how can i display
"Currently active X  bot(s)"
 :

is it posiible without registering manualy all bots when i dont need display name of bot ?

[lemccoy]

would there be anyway to determine exactly how many times the searchbot is on your site? Sessions, not page views?

works great, after i installed the endifno mod.  thanks!  my top images were going up unproportionally, now that should be fixed

is there anyway to give the searchbots semi-admin access, so basically their hits don't get counted?

i erased the possibilty to sign in at my website...don't need members, they're only annoying...

but i would like to use this MOD, does it mean that i have to re-install the sign in stuff?

Should work for you.

just to let u know, Looks like u have something wrong with your sitemap page

No, you dont. All you will need to do is create users for the search engines bots, that's all.

hmm .... the sitemap looks a little bit nordic white.... but it is okay.... just have to edit layout a bit

thanks vano,  will make an account for the bot .....

1) dont have answer for now

2) googlebot is the account name you need to create in your gallery

3) What you did only will privent bots from visiting download.php in the future, yet, they have previously cached pages with download link avalable. Nothing you can do about it, exept redirect bots to other pages if they try to access download.php
in download.php find:

Code: [Select]

require(ROOT_PATH.'includes/sessions.php');insert below:

Code: [Select]

if ($user_bot)
{
  header("Location: ".$site_sess->url($url, "&"));
  exit;
}
4) in step 3 at the end of the new code insert this:

Code: [Select]

$site_template->register_vars("is_bot", $user_bot);

[V@no]

-Which reflect this has where this gets tag (whos_online.html???)
{if is_bot} "Dear bot, welcome to my page" {endif is_bot}

sorry, didnt understand this... the 4) answer should add ability using {if is_bot}{endif is_bot} tags in whos_online.html template...

If I these code in download.php are diverted robots, have I properly understood this??

that is correct.

this morning I had these IP address (66.249.66.37) its this the googlerobot
"Google" => "googlebot",????
or "Googlebot" => "googlebot",????
what is correct?

I've never seen Googlerobot but only Googlebot
All google bots that visiting my site have this identification:

Mozilla/5.0 (compatible; Googlebot/2.1; +http://www.google.com/bot.html)

So, since there is no web browser created by Google (yet), its safe to use "Google" => "googlebot"

Hello,

since 2 weeks i have a problem with this mod. The bots are writing spam comments. And when i delte the comments they are writen from an other user...

what can i do that bots are not write a comment

[V@no]

dont allow "not trusted" bots...and remove your general "searchbot" acount. create for each "known" bot an independent account, like google, msn, yahoo, etc. this way you can track them down.

And finaly the real fix:
in details.php find:

Code: [Select]

if ($row['image_allow_comments'] == 0 || !check_permission("auth_postcomment", $row['cat_id']) || !$row) {Replace with:

Code: [Select]

if ($user_bot || $row['image_allow_comments'] == 0 || !check_permission("auth_postcomment", $row['cat_id']) || !$row) {
That should be enough, yet, if you also dont want to show comment form for the bots, then find:

Code: [Select]

$allow_posting = check_permission("auth_postcomment", $cat_id);Replace with:

Code: [Select]

$allow_posting = (!$user_bot && check_permission("auth_postcomment", $cat_id))  ? 1 : 0;
