How to add bots??

bhbebe · Post by **bhbebe** » Tue Oct 02, 2012 11:02 am

Here is my problem about bots.

"ACP/general/spiders-robots" part is empty on my forum (http://www.bhbebe.com/forum)

How can I add bots? Is there any kind of list where are all infos about them (Bot style, Bot language, Agent match, Bot IP address) so I can add them manually?

Thank you.

The 51 standard bots are added automatically on install of the board so I'm assuming they must have been subsequently deleted.

A list of the bot names and user agents are in the /install/install_install.php file (from line 2102) available from the Latest Version package.

Where, for example, where the code shows 'AdsBot [Google]' => array('AdsBot-Google', ''), the Bot name is 'AdsBot [Google] and the Agent match is AdsBot-Google. The Bot style and Bot language should be set to whatever the defaults are for your board (on a standard board they will be prosilver and British English). The Bot IP address can be left blank.

Thank you very much for your reply. I found a list and I will add them manually.
Really don't know the reason why bots disappeared from my forum.

I got problem: When I entered details for bot ( I tried few of them), I got this message:

The name is already in use on your board and can’t be used for the Bot.

Maybe Bots Install Script or New Manage_Bots Script 5.5 will help?

Backup your database before trying any of the above.
