if ($visitor != BOT) {
Does anyone know how to determine if a vbulletin visitor is a bot in php?

EG: condition $show['member'] & $show['guest']
but bot version in PHP.

PHP Code:
if ($visitor != BOT) {

// do stuff here

} 
I want to make a mod that doesn't interfere with SE bots.

There's $show['search_engine'] but only knows 3 bots: google|msnbot|yahoo
You can extend this in includes/init.php.

do you get penalties if the contents is exactly the same? What I'm trying to do only affect function rather than contents.

if the display is the same, google/etc won't ever know the difference.


What exactly are you trying to do?
