    What does the admin show? How many bots and how many actual people? I had a case where client's site was being bombarded with hundreds of bots every few minutes. The solution was to add numerous rules in the htaccess file to block all those bad bots from draining his resources...

    BTW... Daj si promijeni naziv admin foldera - pogodio sam ga iz trećeg pokušaja...

    It's been so long since I've used the zencart default online code that I can't really make any comments about what it does or doesn't do, but if you install the 'Enhanced Who's Online' module there is a setting that allow it to ignore robots.

    Installation is a breeze.

    uh... the functionality in that module seems to be wholly contained in v1.5.4. so there looks like no need for that module....

    it seems pretty self explanatory from the whos_online.php page.

    Hmmm, ok. So what is your problem then?

    hmm... I have no problem.

    you are recommending a module intended for 1.5.3. and yet the original poster has a question on 1.5.4. and my base install of 1.5.4 has a switch to eliminate bots. which means that your module is not only not needed but redundant.

    I was merely pointing out to the original poster that the functionality he seeks is already contained in 1.5.4.

    Lots of yahoo bots or just lots of bots? Bots are indicated with a red(ish) background.

    IMO, you don't want to block yahoo bots because you DO want yahoo to index your site. What you can do is limit their crawler (it's a nice bot and it will respect your commands). You can add the following to your robots.txt file:
    Code:
    User-agent: Slurp
    Crawl-delay: 10
    This will tell yahoo bot to slow down and crawl your site every 10 seconds. If you need/want, you can increase the limit, but don't exaggerate.

    But, I'd recommend going over the entire list of bots and see if there are any that you want to completely disable and block from accessing your site. There are some bad bots that you don't want on your site, but I'll leave that research to you.

    No...

    Remove that ASAP.

    There's a robots.txt file in your store's root directory. If you didn't create it, there's robots_example.txt that comes with Zen Cart. It's a plain text file. You can rename the example file or simply create a new file and put it in your store's root.

    More info here.
