I don't want to display ANY robots on the 'Who's Online'.. This includes Yahoo! and Google.
I'd still like them to browse freely, just not display their names in that box. How can I get rid of their names?
Any reason you don't want them?
Open ./online.php and find and remove the following;
// Otherwise this session is a bot
else if(my_strpos($user['sid'], "bot=") !== false && $spiders[$botkey])
{
$user['bot'] = $spiders[$botkey]['name'];
$user['usergroup'] = $spiders[$botkey]['usergroup'];
$guests[] = $user;
}
Within the same file, find;
// Fetch spiders
$spiders = $cache->read("spiders");
and remove.
Or just delete all the spiders from the ACP and save a code edit...

@ 3 Above: I just want to remove them because I think that it makes the who's online box look really ugly, especially because they're not sorted in alphabetical order like all other names, they're the first ones.

Yes, all the spiders in that list do is detect when a visitor is a bot and shows them as such, it just matches the useragent string. If you delete those they'll just show as guests when they visit, it's not adding any code to physically stop them visiting.

Did my edits works for you ?

Never mind Yalda, this solution is much more simple. Thanks Matt!
Thank you both for the help though.
