many thanks

last question should the working links on my forum show now as checked because i have not seen any posts that say the links have been checked the bot has sent the dead links to trash

It should...

i used my userid here is that correct ?

$botid = '1'; //Userid of bot

thanks

yeah thats fine.

i have looked to see if there is a posts that says linked checke d i still cannot find one ?

Hello Dman installed and a great hack just ran into 1 problem.

Bot ran for around 30mins then stopped.

Now every time i try to run the bot now i get the following error.

Ask your administrator to install cURL in PHP.

Till now after 500 threads check no error

I try to find in the code what happening when in post with 10 links 2 its dead..byt nothing found..
FInally whats happening?

Hey i am getting this error
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING in /home/mysite/public_html/vbbot.php on line 37

Can anyone help?

Thnx a lot!
Works perfect on 3.7.1

Replace with this

Links checked on ' . date('d/m/y'). ' by Link Check Bot'; //This will append this at the end of the checked post

If i make this `forumid` = 2 OR `forumid` = 3 OR `forumid` = 4 OR `forumid` = 5 OR `forumid` = 6

Its ok for more forums search?

I am still getting the same error. Even when replaceing that

Replace also this...

Make sure that you dont have delete any ; or $

Ok i did that now i get this
"Warning: fopen(botruns.txt) [function.fopen]: failed to open stream: Permission denied in /home/mysite/public_html/vbbot.php on line 25

Ok create a folder at your forum root with name exp. BOT chmod this folder to 777

Change line ~28 with you access now with domain.com/BOT/bot.php

ok thanks. Now i get this
Bot is running

Is that normal

also does this check links in [code] tags?

Yes work on code..

If you get this message there is the log file in the folder try this /bot.php?deletefile

and then run the bot again

Thanks Dman rebuilding apache now.

OK question what is the best way to set the bot to run every 24hrs.

Im guessing Scheduled Task Manager and set one to run every 24hrs then one to delete every 23hrs sound good?

OK thanks

Also. Do i have to run the script manually to make it check the links. Or does it do it by its self?

What happen if my board's thousands of threads and ~10 links in each thread ... when you run this bot may be it become a DDoS tool :D

Hey when i run the vbbot.php the first time i get this error"Warning: require_once(/includes/config.php) [function.require-once]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/mysite/public_html/bot/vbbot.php on line 28

Fatal error: require_once() [function.require]: Failed opening required '/includes/config.php' (include_path='.:/usr/lib/php:/usr/local/lib/php') in /home/mysite/public_html/bot/vbbot.php on line 28"

And if i press refresh it says :Bot is running.
But it hasn't checked any links after running for 3 hours. So i think there might be an error

I keep getting this error when I run my sql queries.

Error

SQL query:

ALTER TABLE `thread` ADD `time_check` INT( 10 ) NOT NULL DEFAULT '0' AFTER `taglist`

MySQL said: Documentation
#1060 - Duplicate column name 'time_check'

Any Idea's

Thank you friends, succeed, but still left me some doubts:

-- Active status active on the links that are inactive, the right not appear deria Bouncing?

-- The length of time of MySQL is very short: 15 seconds, changed here:

For 50 (sleep) but did not work, I have to be deleting this file and restarting always, to finish?

Thank you!

If its in the directory called exp use ./includes/config.php

U have to do it once.

You can set up a cron and make it run every xx hours or minutes

Use cron. Its ur call. It depends on ur board size and no of threads and posts to check. Our next version would have the product installer and so I think u can use the vB Task Manager then.

Password protect the directory where the bot lies.. somewhere likke inside admincp a directory called secretstuff :D and password protect it, so that no one else can misuse it.
