Custom Link Checker Bot 1.0

I have decided to code my own link checker bot.

This link Checker Checks links from....

Rapidshare
Mediafire
Megaupload
Easy-Share
Netload
Depositfiles


To install....

1. Upload all of the files in the "upload" folder

2. Open the product-dlc.xml in Notepad or Wordpad.

3. Place your forum username in every username="" tag you see.

4. After that you can import the product.

5. Setting up a cron to make it run automatically. Set up the cron here. admincp>scheduled tasks>add new scheduled task

Use these variables.

Varname: dead_link_checker

Title: Dead Link Checker Bot

Description: Checks for dead links and adds them to graveyard

Log Phrase: dead_link_checker

Set how often you want it to run

Then

Filename: ./includes/cron/dlc.php

Thanks. READ THE README File. It has some file edits you have to do to prepare the product. I am working on making it so you don't have to edit the product.

can this be made in such a way that it checks all the posts in a thread ?

For eg. if a thread consists of two posts with links in them, i would like it to check the two posts. If post 1 links have expired, i want it to delete only that post (or move) not the entire thread.

is this possible to code? may be an option to check all posts or only the first post would be awesome :D

eitherways thanks for this.

bleros it seems you need to install cURL on your server. If you are on shared hosting contact your provider.

Can we add a feature for the bot to reply if the links are good? I know it sounds dumb but I figure it will shuffle up the posts a bit to stimulate activity. Thanks

Sorry, but I expected more from the description.

Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.

However, the file DOES exist. My root website is not located at /, so it needs to be changed so it doesn't use absolute paths.

Running the checker (I wanted to test it):

you cant support something that has to be rebuilt, he is taking his time as im sure he will release a new version as this doesn't work worth a damn, i want it to scan all my sections but it does 10 links at a time thats just lame i have over 55 thousand links and with the crons not working and setting it to the 50 max is still useless i want to set a cron to have it scan every thread 1 time per day..

wfouly
04-09-2009, 02:19 AM
thanks for the coder regarding his work
this is very important issue regarding the visitors of the forums, as they become frustrated when they take long time redirected to dead link web pages.
but Unfortunately your modification need some improvements to become perfect one

There is some points I would like to take attention

if the post contain too much links ex. 30 the mod hang up (stop working)
if the post contain only one dead link from many working active links, the Bot send all the thread to the graveyard even if there is a replay contain correction to the link
the cron job not working
if the Bot cann`t process one thread ex. thread id 12345, it cann`t bypass it and manage the next one id 12346.is there any methodes just to mark the linke if active or dead only without transfering the whole thread to another forum like this example and pm the poster with his dead links after specific period it will be transfered to the graveyard
http://www.example.com/dsadda/dffds (Active).
http://www.example.com/fdsg/gdfgd (dead).

I hope it will be fixed and upgraded , really it is a great Modification
good luck
best regards

04-10-2009, 12:05 AM
because you didnt set up where to move the dead links

go to AdminCP>DLC Configuration> GraveYard Forum ID then put the forum id where you want to move the dead links automatically

I'm not getting any errors and it seems to work fine, I think.

But I wonder in the designated forum for the dead link 'boneyard' ... can it be shut off to posting so no stupid members post it, just 'read only'. It will still send dead links to there right?

I have no dead links yet so I just want to make sure the Boneyard forum can set to 'no posting'

Also this product must scan all outside posted links, not just:
Rapidshare
Mediafire
Megaupload
Easy-Share
Netload
Depositfiles

PLEASE keep us updated.

Thank you

working great for me on my 3.8.1!!

Have a question though.

1-can we change the link color? say green when checked and good, red when checked and bad
2-Can we turn OFF the bot Pm when link is dead?

Thanks

EDIT: OK it worked as it should BUT I think it has a problem with SQL. It kept messing up my DB tables? At one point one of my forums had 16,1783,841 posts!

Also It moves WAAAAAYYY to fast! it doesnt seem to take a break after sets it also replies to the same dead topic over and over again. Weird it was working for awhile there.

It was made exclusively for 2 websites and only those 2.
Including mine.

I have no idea how this got posted here. Reported.

PS the reason why this isn't working is because the person who stole it, got a protected version that is turned off.

Quick question, what happens if one of the hoster sites is down ? I've heard from time to time Rapidshare goes down, just the BOT just start sending all RS links to the grave yard ?

The bot is not sending it to the graveyard in any ways, though rapidshare and all file host are up, there's a bug in this add-on, in which no one finds a solution to this. :(

I installed this hack and it is working, bot i see that the bot is cheking from 10 to 10 threads starting with the first threads of the forum (my forum has 3 years old) and the first threads are inactive since a looong time.
( I have more than 30,000 threads)

Is there any way to start the check from a specified threadid and only for a specific forum?

Same issue here. After analyzing the code of dlc.php, it appears that the issue is the remote file which checks the mime type of the URL. It appears to no longer work.

I myself have failed at all of my attempts to make a similar mime type detection scrip for URLs in a GET request (or any files that are not local for that matter). I'd prefer not to have to save copies of web pages for such purposes, as that would greatly increase the workload of the server during the cron task, and I feel it's unnecessary.

I wish this developer would update the addon to include its own mime-type detection that just worked, and stopped relying on unpopular/uncommon APIs that add extra requests to the cron task.

it checks just First threads or all posts in a thread ?

It checks all posts in a thread. This has been an issue for me, as some threads may contain several hundred links on my forum, and would cause it to time out.

However, to answer your question, it checks all posts within a thread.

Best wishes :)

Yeah, all it does is keep checking and said moving to trash, but nothing is being done, I recommend moving this to graveyard..

Mr. Gecko (the developer) has disabled this add on to where it doesn't validate anything as bad... If you would like this plugin to work, follow these instructions.
1 Make sure your php can use fopen to open websites.
2 Make a php file on your site and put this in it.
<?
error_reporting(0);
$url = isset($_REQUEST['url']) ? trim($_REQUEST['url']) : "";
header("Content-Type: text/plain");
$mime = "";
if ($file = fopen($url, "r")) {
$fileInfo = stream_get_meta_data($file);
for ($h=0; $h<count($fileInfo['wrapper_data']); $h++) {
$headers = explode(";", strtolower($fileInfo['wrapper_data'][$h]));
for ($d=0; $d<count($headers); $d++) {
$header = $headers[$d];
if (preg_match("/content-type:/i", $header)) {
$mime = trim(str_replace("content-type:", "", $header));
}
}
}
fclose($file);
echo $mime;
}
?>
3 In the cron file, find curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL,"http://gecko.myusers.info/mime.php?url=".urlencode($val3)); and replace it with curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL,"http://YOURDOMAIN/YOURPATH.php?url=".urlencode($val3)); of course replacing the YOURDOMAIN and YOURPATH with the right data.

Mr. Gecko doesn't mind you using the plugin, but he does mind you using his server for checking things as it takes his bandwidth. Do not ask Mr. Gecko for help as this is all he is giving you guys... Please take to mind that this was written in 2007 and may have loads of problems still.
