Catching spiders

[linksor.com]

I have used scipts from one of polish forum to write that block - I am not good porgrammer so forgive my mistakes:

1.

create empty file named: robot.db and make it writeable (chmod 666 robot.db). That file must be in your root directory (where index.php exists).

2.

File in blocks/ directory called blocks.spiders.php

File theme/your-skin/blocks/ called blocks.spiders.html

    <div class="header"><div>Spiders</div></div>
    <div class="box">
     Google: <%$Gspider%><br />
     Yahoo: <%$Yspider%><br />
     MSN: <%$Mspider%><br />
    </div>

and put the <%block_spiders%> anywhere you want in your index.html file

Darmowy Katalog Stron :: Linksor.com - there is a demo here - look at PAJAKI (polish word) 3rd menu on the left.

Well forgive me linksor.com, but it doesnt work for me on 5.3.0

I am little confused about the blocks and / or block naming of your files.

All I got was a smarty error

Could you please take a look about your post above and check it for errors? Would be nice to have that function on my site, too.

Thanks in advance

[dody]

You may misplaced the files, please check again.

The php file should be in
/blocks/blocks.spiders.php

The template file should be in
/theme/kosmos/blocks/blocks.spiders.html

You may need to change 'kosmos' to your template folder/name

[webwerx]

hmmmmm...... well then....

[B]Fatal error[/B]: Smarty error: [in /mypath/themes/kosmos/index.html line 67]: syntax error: unrecognized tag 'blocks_spiders' (Smarty_Compiler.class.php, line 580) in /mypath/lib/smarty/Smarty.class.php on line 1088 

Any Idea?

Thanks Dody for your help

May be this is the problem:

$params['template'] = 'block.spiders.html';

change to (added s letter)

$params['template'] = 'blocks.spiders.html';

[webwerx]

No luck

Here is what I did:

1. Created a file called robot.db in root, changemod to 666 (and tried 777, too)

2. Created the blocks.spiders.php in my blocks/ directory and did change what linksor adviced, renamed the in line 26
$params['template'] = 'block.spiders.html';
from block.spiders.html to blocks.spiders.html

3. Created a new File in my themes directory /blocks/blocks.spiders.html with the given Code by linksor. And yes Dody, I am using the standard kosmos Theme. Do I have to put that theme name anywhere in the PHP - File?

4. Under the Who is online Block I did put this line:
<%block_spiders%>

First I got a smarty error again, but after reloading, no error anymore, but at the place where I did put the <%block_spiders%> is simply nothing to see, just white space

Any ideas? Any help is appreciated.
Thanks in advance

[dody]

Lets wait until linksor release in a zip file

[webwerx]

Good Idea Would be great!

[linksor.com]

Here's my ZIP file

PHP should be in blocks/ directory
HTML should be in theme/blocks/ directory

what I have in index.html file is:

<%block_pagerank_stat minimum_pr="1"%>
<%block_spiders%>
<%block_whos_online%>

it is working on my zgred.pl and linksor.com dir's.

edited: probably you must change template to KOSMO theme - I have used here a lot of DIV's - remove DIV's - may be that will help !

[fish4carp]

Hi

Just added the <%block_spiders%> to index page but getting this error below,

Warning: Smarty error: unable to read resource: "blocks/block.spiders.html" in /home/ukcarper/public_html/lib/smarty/Smarty.class.php on line 1088

Any ideas.

Thanks
