There aren't an official site for a list of bots actual :unsure: ?


I hope not. :) I got the idea a few days ago and I don't want to have any competition. :P I just need to get some more scratch for another IPB License. ;)

Please be careful with the bot list.. If you add ALL the bots in the online lists, you run the risk of causing problems with your forum.

There's a KB article about it, but you'll get an error in class_sessions.php on some screens if the bot list is too big. I believe the limit is about 64k.

Best to pick the ones you know and add them.. If you add everything, you're heading for trouble.

You only need to put



yahoo=Yahoo Publisher Network



There's no need to list every individual user agent - the code above would match all instances of "Yahoo" and list it as "Yahoo Publisher Network"



so yahoo=YahooWhatever would work for yahoodkjdkejdkhbot1, yahoo---d jdj454 bot2, and such like that?

That'd make my day so much easier when I revamp my list! :)

It's no problem - it's a common misunderstanding I see.

IPB tries to match what is on the left to the user agent - if it matches, it displays what is on the right, and stops parsing right then.

If 3 entries are put in, and all 3 have the same text on the right side of the equal sign, they will be grouped in the spider logs anyways, so you have no benefit to 3 entries that are meant to display the same.
