I want to allow Google and other search engines to index (but not cache) my content but I want to require registration for users to view all content. (I do not care about security issues or people using a user agent switcher.)
I am told this project will involve steps similar to these:
1) create an account to be used by the search engines
2) add in some php code in a custom module that:
a) checks $_SERVER[HTTP_USER_AGENT] to see if it's a search engine
b) if (a) is true, update the global $user with the account from (1)
3) add meta tag in page.tpl.php and other page-*.tpl.php in theme to not allow caching
There are two options I can think of:
1. simple version has static list of search engines in a config/settings file.
2. a smart version that can grab updated lists of bots and verify them against the IP address of the user claiming to be the bot.
I would be willing to make the custom module that is created by this project open source and freely available to anyone using Drupal.
Please give me a price (and tell me if you want to do the simple or the smart version) and give an estimated timeframe to complete the work. I will pay via PayPal after work is complete. I have hired people through this forum previously and I can supply references.
