Submitted by CyberAlien, Jun 2007.

This tutorial explains how to hide bots from list of online users in phpBB 3.

Open includes/functions.php, find this:

Code:

and replace with this:

Code:

if (($row['session_viewonline'] || $auth->acl_get('u_viewonline')) && $row['user_type'] <> USER_IGNORE) 

After this change only administrators will use bots in list of online users, other users won't see them.
