There are no style changes, the XML file is for the overall modifications done to your board's files.

Dont works at 3.0.6, bots are visibles (tested on admin/founder and normal user account).

Works for me. I literally just installed it on 3.0.6 using AutoMOD. Make sure you did all file edits and purged your cache.

hello,

nice mod, works perfectly

but... how can i hide the bots in the view of last 24 hours?

thanks

I believe you are using the Activity Stats MOD by Highway of Life? If so, just click the link I just showed you and do a find for "How can I get the list to exclude the bots (spiders)?" The fix is right there.

Admins can still see bots as they are treated like hidden users.

Hi,

Apologised if I am asking a silly question. Hope you don't mind.
Is this mod package working well too on phpbb 3.06?
Appreciate it if anyone can advise.

Thank you.

Very cool mod..Thank you.

I want to hide all bots on the index page from all Moderators and admins as well. We do not wish to see them on the index page but viewonline is ok.

How can this be done? Thanks

Sorry, It was a bit late when I was reading this topic. Looks like I read right past that post.

How can I hide them from the users with permission to see them as well.. I just don't like seeing bots at all

OPEN viewonline.php

FIND

Code: Select all

	if ($row['user_id'] != ANONYMOUS && !isset($prev_id[$row['user_id']]))

ADD BEFORE

Code: Select all

if ($row['user_type'] == USER_NORMAL || $row['user_type'] == USER_FOUNDER || $row['user_id'] == ANONYMOUS)
{

FIND

Code: Select all

$db->sql_freeresult($result);
unset($prev_id, $prev_ip);

ADD BEFORE

Code: Select all

}

OPEN includes/functions.php

FIND

Code: Select all

			$online_users['online_users'][$row['session_user_id']] = (int) $row['session_user_id'];
			if ($row['session_viewonline'])
			{
				$online_users['visible_online']++;
			}
			else
			{
				$online_users['hidden_users'][$row['session_user_id']] = (int) $row['session_user_id'];
				$online_users['hidden_online']++;
			}

REPLACE WITH

Code: Select all

			if ($row['user_type'] == USER_NORMAL || $row['user_type'] == USER_FOUNDER || $row['user_id'] == ANONYMOUS)
			{
				$online_users['online_users'][$row['session_user_id']] = (int) $row['session_user_id'];

				if ($row['session_viewonline'])
				{
					$online_users['visible_online']++;
				}
				else
				{
					$online_users['hidden_users'][$row['session_user_id']] = (int) $row['session_user_id'];
					$online_users['hidden_online']++;
				}
			}

I have question about that modification. Bots can view forum, they are only hide in viewonline etc?
And in that stats I can see how much people watch my forum. Bots are included or not?
I mean here:


Regards.
