[ABD] Bot Indexing MOD v1.1.1

[EverettB]

They are probably fake. I wouldn't add them unless you check the IP address first and make sure it is Google.

So how do I check those IP addresses?
I found several places on the web that list IP's fopr Googlebot, but they don't seem to agree and are not always up-to-date.

You can click on the IP address in the admin panel for this MOD to do an IP lookup before you click Add.

Or I use

TPFKAS - did you do a reverse IP look up? You can search google for one. The ip flooding my forum is registered to google.

OK, thanks. I just did and I found that some of them are Google and some of them are not. So how does this mod suspect that the visitor is a bot and put it in the list?
And since I have added a lot of IP addresses that probably are no bots, how do I remove them?

I got this error after installing this mod.

Code: Select all

DEBUG MODE

SQL Error : 1064 You have an error in your SQL syntax. Check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near 'session_admin) VALUES ('2a1caf99623b17886ef171dc91477d26', 

INSERT INTO phpbb_sessions (session_id, session_user_id, session_start, session_time, session_ip, session_page, session_logged_in, is_robot session_admin) VALUES ('2a1caf99623b17886ef171dc91477d26', 2, 1131083698, 1131083698, 'aad72d90', 0, 1, '0' 0)

Line : 172
File : sessions.php 

If you could help me fix it, I would be greatly appreciative.

The MOD adds it to the pending list if the Agent matches. It doesn't get added unless you click Add.

Click Edit next to the Googlebot entry in the Admin screen to edit the IPs.

See where it says

Code: Select all

1, '0' 0)

There should be a comma between the '0' and the 0).

You made a typo when you installed the MOD.

Open sessions.php and find the INSERT line.

It should look something like this to be correct:

Code: Select all

		$sql = "INSERT INTO " . SESSIONS_TABLE . "
			(session_id, session_user_id, session_start, session_time, session_ip, session_page, session_logged_in, is_robot, session_admin)
			VALUES ('$session_id', $user_id, $current_time, $current_time, '$user_ip', $page_id, $login, '$robot', $admin)";

You forgot the comma between '$robot' and $admin

Thanks for the help

A few IPs of Inktomi aren't recognized such as 68.142.249.180 although I have specified "Mozilla/5.0 (compatible; Yahoo! Slurp; http://help.yahoo.com/help/us/ysearch/slurp)" etc. in "Agent match".

Any suggestions?

[e] Is it possible to combine the Guest Sessions MOD, i.e. a general removal of SID, with this one?

[EverettB]

Try simplifying the agent name.

You could install the Guest Sessions MOD too, if you wanted. I would say this MOD is an advanced version of that when it comes to Bots.

doesn't work.

Is there any need for some modifications (due to possible incompatibilities)?

[Kemars]

I wanted to know ifyou could help me figure what is wrong here.

I am using phpbb2 + version ( www.phpbb2.de ) for an association i help out with here in finland. I am using your bot mod as it kicks butt for sure and helps in figuring out who is online (and how many times as well).

but as of v 2.0.18, there is a bug (and perhaps a bug that has been going on since I started using this mod back in 2.0.14 in that in the section in the functions.php file...

Code: Select all

includes/functions.php 

#-----[ FIND  ]------------------------------------------------------
	$theme = setup_style($board_config['default_style']);

#-----[ REPLACE WITH  ]----------------------------------------------
	if (IS_ROBOT)
	{
		$sql = "SELECT bot_style FROM " . $table_prefix . "bots WHERE bot_name='" . IS_ROBOT . "'";
		$result = $db->sql_query($sql);
		$row = $db->sql_fetchrow($result);
		$theme = setup_style($row['bot_style']);	
	} else {
		$theme = setup_style($board_config['default_style']); 
	}

after i replace this part of the code, then i disable the board, then i get the error message

message_die() was called multiple times. This isn't supposed to happen. Was message_die() used in page_tail.php?

now as soon i remove that new code and put back the original code, then the disable board feature works as normal. all the rest of the code changes that are required for this mod are working as normal and I have triple checked my lines to make sure nothing is left out (copy / pasted)

Can you or then anyone help me out?
I know i am sur i will get the standard (this is a modded version of phpbb and will not support it, but however, ifyou read the info on the file code i attached, its phpbb code and nothing that I can find that phpbb2 has added to this code.. so I would like to have someone help me out here please.. I dont have a lot of money, but can donate something to someone if they can get this mod updated to work with phpbb2 plus version..

below is the functions.php file from phpbb2 + 1.52 version (found at www.phpbb2.de) using phpbb2 plus 1.52


see the functions.php code for further info.

-- edited: sorry about posting the whole code there. my bad.. I have now removed it and reference the readers to look at the functions.php file in /INCLUDES/ folder

Hi K, not sure I understand what your post means. As I said, I'm not sure how to interpret it. It seems like it's saying don't ask any questions about this mod... is this the case? That doesn't make complete sense, imho of course, because the thread and download are still here, so naturally people are going to try to use it and have questions. As i said, don't know how to take your post.

Interested in hearing more about this.
Many thanks, dmg.

Actually, yes, the topic is complying with these forum rules. Though, it does seem like the original MOD author abandoned this for not posting here recently. I won't lock this just yet, though.

And Kemars, don't post whole code segments like that... use something like pastebin.com ...

[dmg81]

this mod works so beautifully, I tip my hat to the author....
it took my one forum to #5 in G for a fairly low competition keyword, but, nonetheless, prior to this mod, I couldn't find myself in G. I think his name is Adam Marcus. Adam, you are one smart cookie!
Many thanks, dmg

Well, look the last visit of the author in this topic and in the forum... 8O

And the rule 3.f.5.
