ts_mpls

Thanks! At least in K2, it looked like sidebar.php already had a big if wrapper around whole thing, I just added some logic above it. I’m not a PHP guy so the code might be ugly but this seems to be working:

<?php /* TAS - 5/3/10 */
  $isBot = strstr($_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT'], 'http://www.google.com/bot.html') ||
    strstr($_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT'], 'http://help.yahoo.com/help/us/ysearch/slurp') ||
    strstr($_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT'], 'http://search.msn.com/msnbot.htm') ||
    strstr($_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT'], 'http://sp.ask.com/docs/about/tech_crawling.html');
?>

<?php if ( ! $isBot && ! get_post_custom_values('hidesidebar1') ): ?>
