[MOD] Treat bots as users with less rights

[Carpfish]

Mir ist gerade aufgefallen, das wenn man mit Google Translate auf meine Website geht wo der Mod Instaliert ist,  mann automatisch als googlbot angemeldet ist.
Das sollte aber nicht sein, so kann jeder der die seite übersetzt alles mögliche machen.
Kann mann was dagegen tun, oder habe ich was falsch gemacht.

Gruß Andy

I've just noticed that if you go with Google Translate on my website where the mod is instaled, man is automatically registered as a foot ball.
That should not be, so anyone can translate the page to do everything possible.
Man can do something about it, or what have I done wrong.

Gruß Andy

replace

"Google" => "googlebot",

with:

Code: [Select]

"Googlebot" => "googlebot",

Hi,

can some one please be kind enough to tell me if this mod is compatible with the latest version of 4images 1.7.7?

i have been trying to get this mod to work for hours but no luck.


everything goes well, i see the searchbots on my site appearing, but for some reason the conditions are not being met.

i did the 4.1. and 4.2 steps, but when i see the page as a googlebot it still shows me the Message that i wrote for non-Bot users which it shouldn't.

Code: [Select]

... are you logged in as a bot (with bot-name and bot-password), to see what is hidden ... ?

[zubair1]

Yes, i tried logging in as a bot but isn't working.

I also tried that User Agent Switcher, it automatically detects the agent and assigns me the user/pass.

I tried it both ways

[EDIT]
i don't know if this will help or not, but earlier i tried this.

{ifnot is_admin}
Show This if not an admin
{endifnot is_admin}

and it work, i think its not getting the usergroup id (is_bot doesn't work for it) for some reason, i dont know what can be wrong here, too confused.

[mawenzi]

Yes, i tried logging in as a bot but isn't working.

... the loggin isn't working ... ?
... if so ... do you have created the bot as user incl. password (the same as in sessions.php) via your ACP ... ?
... and if you have ... then the loggin must work ...

[zubair1]

I have created the users with the password.

I can login as the bot, but the conditions don't meet.

I still the see the bot message which i am not suppose to see - thats whats happening wrong on my part.

[Edit]

Not Sure if this will help but i have these MODS installed - SEO Mod, Google Sitemap, Annotation, Multi download, searchstats and Tag Clouds.

I just tried to put this in my template.

{if is_bot}
This will only appear for the searchbots...
{endif is_bot}

and Nothing shows up either if i'm logged in as a admin or a searchbot.

Any Help would be appreicated.

what does a bot do exactly, is this MOD important???? im very interested to know , but google is not helpful. So what happens if i dont install this MOD who bots hack me>??

[V@no]

This is about search engine bots, you know the "crawlers" that index websites. Nothing to do with hacking bots.

By default bots crawl your site as guests, with this mod they will be able crawl as members.

[zakaria666]

oooooooooo ok i seee, im sorry this might be a stupid question and please tell me if i am being dum but why would a person want to know if a bot is regarding as a member, dont bots just crawl websites for information?

[V@no]

dont bots just crawl websites for information?

Yes they do, and that is exactly the reason why some galleries allow them crawl as members - because they will see more information then guests (permissions, permissions, permissions)

I downloaded the old version of firefox you recommended, and followed the steps provided to check what my site should look like to a robot. I followed your steps in this thread and the thread to not issue a session id. When I set the user agent as one that matched the ones in the bot list I get a redirect error in firefox!!!!

This must be why google can not index my site!

If I disable cookies and change user agent to something not listed in the bot list It will work without cookies....

I have begged google to reconsider my site and recieved confirmation they were going to try to reindex it...

But now I realize that they will only get a redirect loop error!!!!!


ARRRGGGHH?>?> I am so close to being finished that I can actually care about doing the photography and try to make a little money to feed my family and pay for a liscense


Can you please help me?"??
to be specific, the error in firefox says

Firefox has detected that the server is redirecting the request for this address in a way that will never complete.

AND [bold] I have disabled all robots in the list except "FAST-WebCrawler" => "searchbot", to keep search bots from being turned around until I can figure this out[/bold]

Well, I finally resolved (kinda) this problem.... Although I am not on this forum bridge, but on the phpBB3 bridge, I had the same problem. The problem was that every search bot that came to site, was properly identified by the forum and a special username was assigned to the bot... and this was confusing 4images.... ohhh man, I spent hour and hours trying to figure out why Google was not able to see my 4images installation.... so finally I have disabled Search Bot identification in my phpBB and it WORKED!! I suggest you dig throgh the settings and disable treating search bots as users within the forum.. I am sure it will fix your issue too...

For me tags {ifno is_bot} ... {endifno is_bot} - not worked.

My solution:

In my html i`ve added next:

<?php global $user_info; if ($user_info['user_name'] < searchbot) { ?>TEXT, WHICH I WANT TO HIDE<?php } ?>

All bots names is searchbot!

Work fine for me!
