On my site most of it isnt accessable to non registered users. I want to know which group google bot is in?. For instance is its treated as a unregistered member it wont be able to index any of my site. If i can have it treated as a registered member it could access most of the site. Which group are search indexers in and can i change that?.
Also can i edit the validation email as well?. I want to do this to explain to members why they cant access all the board.
MyBB RC4 and earlier versions do not support this functionality of having a search engine spider identified and placed in a certain group. However, i'm very happy to say that MyBB Gold supports spider identification and to place spiders in a certain group you just need to change one line in our new class_session.php:
var $botgroup = 1;
You would change the value to whichever group you want spiders to act as, and they will do exactly that
To edit the validation email you need to edit inc/languages/english/messages.lang.php
Ok so will search engine spiders be treated as a member or a unregistered user?.
Also can i edit the terms for sign up?.

Unregistered users, in RC4.
You can edit the /inc/languages/english/member.lang.php file to alter the text visible when someone registers.
HI, where can I change this
var $botgroup = 1;
in 1.01?
I'd like to ban all the Bots from my forums, because they are private and I don't want any unregistered to read something.

EDIT: I found it, it's in /inc/class_session.php ->
If the Usergroup for the Bots is 1, they shouldn't be able to enter the Board, but they're trying to - at least in who is online, you can see, that they are everyhere ...
