Identify Search Engine Bots in "Whos Online"
This small modification will show search engine crawlers in "Who's Online" for Google, Ask Jeeves, MSN, and Yahoo. Personally I like knowing when a search engine spider is indexing my websites so I created this to separate the crawlers from guests and members. It is just a small modification so it shouldn't interfere with any current modifications you have. The only file you need to replace is catalogincludesfunctionswhos_online.php . Keeping in the style of the osCommerce design I used the font tag to also color code the names (which is sloppy coding but much of osCommerce needs to be brought up to date.)

If you want to include google's sitemap downloader in the google bot identifier then change line 15 from 'googlebot' to 'google'. Also, if you would like to see a visitor's actual user-agent then change line 26 from
'<font color="#6600cc">Guest</font>';
to
'<font color="#6600cc">'. getenv('HTTP_USER_AGENT') .'</font>';
I have already made these changes and included the file for you to download.
