Or, if you are using sessions, as you should be, you can place a flag in the sessions array which must be "true" for users using this special feature, and "false" for everyone else. Of course, your users table must contain this information. You must determine how it is to be administered. On Fri, Dec 20, 2013 at 12:01 PM, John Fiala <jcfiala@gmail.com> wrote:

Well, my first thought is to check for the user id - Boost is almost certainly crawling the site as an anonymous user, yeah? And if we're talking about user-specific data, just have the process not run if the user_id == 0.

I have a lot of data that I am loading into PHP buffer from a text file cache. I recently added the Boost module. When the Boost crawler runs, I have no need for this data as it is user-specific. What server variable is available to determine whether the process is a Web request or not? I would like to limit the resources that Boost uses when crawling the site. --
