This one is a pretty easy hack to install. It shows any spiders that are indexing your site in the what's going on box on the forum home page. Please note. It will only show spiders as spiders and not as guests if it also shows them as spiders and not as guests on online.php.

This hack has been tested on 3.0.6 and 3.0.7.

It's not hard to install, but it does have one drawback. If you have a portal page that shows online users, you will have to edit it yourself to incorporate the changes. Consider yourself warned.

At this point, any problems reported are installation errors. If things don't work for you, make sure you have completed all the steps as written.

As I have upgraded to 3.5, I am withdrawing support for this older version. All the bugs are gone and any issues are now installation errors.

FAQ
1. I get this: [ARG:3 UNDEFINED] spiders on my portal page.
As noted above, because of the large number of portals, you're on your own for integrating them into thie hack.

2. I get this: [ARG:3 UNDEFINED] spiders on other pages.
1. Make sure you have done all of the code changes correctly.
2. Make sure you have updated your style to use the modified templates. If not, that error will occor.

I may have to uninstall it for a bit until I can figure out the problem.

Can you paste the contents of the relevant chunk of code in your FORUMHOME template here please? I am wondering if you got your variables crossed between the one used in index.php and the one used in online.php. I don't see any problem off hand in the directions.

If it's the phrase giving you grief, you can get around that by using the variables in the forumhome and online templates instead of passing them into the phrase as a parameter. I just used the phrase to try to be more correct in the formatting of the hack.

Which variables to use? on forumhome and who's online? I'll try that and see if that's the problem.

Lifesourcerec, try doing the forumhome one first. Use the

variable. If that works, you can do the online one using the numspiders variable.

Found the problem and it was between the keyboard and the seat .

I put the code in the parent file which the style file inherit, but it didn't. Works like a charm now

OK. Found Twigz problem too. He was missing a code chunk in his index.php file.

I realize there will be issues with portal pages that show who's online. There are a couple of ways you can resolve them.
1. change the portal templates so the phrase isn't used. Spiders are not calculated by the portal code. So, the phrase will throw errors.
2. change the portal code to find the spiders and count them. You're on your own because there are too many portals for me to do the code for each one.
