vBulletin Spider XML List and How to Guide

[Raven Faust]

Here is a HUGE Spider XML List, i Personally use.. (you should use it with KX Spider Permissions Addon)

Just upload this to /forumhome/includes/xml (allow Overwrite)

There is OVER 200 Spiders in this list, They will show on your Whose Online List, Saying What Bot They Are (Yahoo,Google,etc)Instead of just saying Spider/Bot

Enjoy!


TO SHOW Spiders on WHO'S Online YOU MUST ENABLE IT Via
vBulletin Options > vBulletin Options > Who's Online Option - Enable Spider Display !

Note: If You WANT Spiders to have Access to REGISTERED User Content you MUST Install KX Spider Permissions.
But on Top of that you MUST Make a Custom Usergroup, What i did was make a Usergroup based off Reg'd Users, And DISABLED Everything But Viewing Posts. After you Do that remember the usergroup ID #, And go to Vbulletin,Option KX spider permissions ,after that go to
User Group ID
Enter here the ID of the usergroup where the spiders should be placed.

And Enter the usergroup ID in the empty space.
Then enable Yes on ,Can spiders view forum content?,Can spiders view threads? Set the Rest to NO, Unless you want those indexed.

And Last But not Least Install this Plugin:
