Help with identifying User Agent string

[Danny]

Hi,

I cannot seem to identify the Zoom 6 spider in my PHP pages. I am trying to install it on a WordPress site where the default article title is Blog Name >> Article title (concatenated). This has been picked up by search engines over the past 3 years so I am loathe to change it now, even if I should have done it from day 1 in hindsight.

I want my site search results to contain just the Article Title without the Blog Name and ">>" prefix, so I want to feed the Zoom spider just the title.

This code does not seem to work for me. I am using the User Agent string specified in the .pdf manual. The HTTP_USER_AGENT value does work on my server, in tests from my browser as it returns "Mozilla . . . ."
Any ideas?

<title>
    <?php
        $theAgent = $_SERVER["HTTP_USER_AGENT"];
        $ZoomUserAgent = "ZoomSpider - wrensoft.com[ZSEBOT]";
        if ($theAgent==$ZoomUserAgent)
            {
             wp_title();
             }
        else
            {
            bloginfo('name');
            wp_title();
            }
    ?>
</title>

This is the default code in the standard WordPress header.php script

<title>
<?php bloginfo('name'); ?>
<?php wp_title(); ?>
</title>

I am not a PHP coder, so maybe I have introduced a bug or used incorrect syntax?

<title>
    <?php
        $theAgent = $_SERVER["HTTP_USER_AGENT"];
        $ZoomUserAgent = "ZoomSpider - wrensoft.com[ZSEBOT]";
        if ($theAgent==$ZoomUserAgent)
...

That line of code means you need an exact match between the two strings. Your Zoom User-Agent string is actually missing a space character before "[ZSEBOT]" that is, it should be this:

        $ZoomUserAgent = "ZoomSpider - wrensoft.com [ZSEBOT]"; 

We just noticed that the support page which describes this has an unfortunate line wrap right at that spot so the spacing is not obvious. We'll fix that up so it's clearer.

You might find that you are better off doing a sub-string match just on the [ZSEBOT] part of the string.

Thanks for the rapid response, guys. I will get back to you with the results.
