I'll be waiting for that :)

Sugestion:

What i thing its good for all.
When you make the product i dont know how you thing is the working progress byt all i thing we have 10 or more differect link categories like music movies or software..

User select to run the script...
Script reply With enter the forum number to check enter the trash can number..

with this way every forum can have differect trash can and th user doesnt need to change all the time the trash id.

What you thing?

Something that i forget..

How can i change check method?

The script freezes after five minutes of checking and then i have to run the
vbbot.php?deletefile script and then the vbbot.php again manually.

What is the problem?

EDIT

I Don't even get the "Now script will pause for 15 seconds" message, the script just freezes.

@rxms you cannot change the check method one all new topics have been checked run the bot once again to check old topics...
Question : Would you guys like a feature to change methods ?
@pierians you are facing the classic rs error. (It happens when rs links dont respond to fix this)
You can either ignore this topic or delete it (to know how to ignore read the faq in maxwcoders.)
how did i find out what topic its hanging at ?
i replaced
by
so it would just tell me the value of $tid and stop and you can make the necessary action now replace
by
Edit : You have just given me an idea for debug mode - thanks

its a shame this did not work for me as I imported my board from phpbb all posts from that earlier time was not being picked up and it sent hundreds of working links to the junk

i had to restore my forum because there was far too many links for me to move back

Yeah because i told you had an option to prune old posts (most of them would have dead links)

So, to see if i got it right, the only thing i have to do, to stop hanging, is to replace this code

with that one?

Yes after you have deleted/ignored topic

Hmm, when it frozed i runned the deletescript so i don't excactly know which threads are problematic...
So this doesn't help me a lot :-(

Sorry i now saw that you told me how to do this in your previous post.

The thing i'm doing now, for the script to complete one full search of my site, is:
I've opened 2 tabs one is the vbbot.php and the other is vbbot.php?=delete
and i've made those tabs automatically refresh every five minutes.

Ok lets say that i check my forums today..and tomorow rapidshare delete from theold posts some links...what happends if the bot doesnt allow me to scan?..

I thing method must be in hours not in checks ex dont rescan the same topics same day in 2 days etc..Byt this musy be a user option

Could you add netload.in to the servers in your update?

Thanks, but I will wait for the update.

@pierians add this after megaupload (or wherever u want just not the last)

THNX!

I have problem with mediafire and ifile files.
They are active but the bot send the threads to thrash...

When i run the delete script i get this error
"Warning: unlink(botruns.txt) [function.unlink]: Permission denied in /home/mysite/public_html/vbbot.php on line 16
File Deleted"

I manually deleted the botruns.txt
And i got this error
Warning: fopen(botruns.txt) [function.fopen]: failed to open stream: Permission denied in /home/mysite/public_html/vbbot.php on line 25

Warning: fclose(): supplied argument is not a valid stream resource in /home/mysite/public_html/vbbot.php on line 26

Warning: unlink(botruns.txt) [function.unlink]: No such file or directory in /home/mysite/public_html/vbbot.php on line 294

This needs major help.

I got it to do the queries now it's time to move on to the next step

I just can't get this to work I'm getting the same problem as IPodHacking.com. And when I did what you said to do to fix the problem it still didn't work. Any other idea's or suggestions.

thank you very much

And i can't figure it out.

Hey iPodHacking, can u PM me your bot.php?

And for the errors above for u and Frank I think its a chmod problem, try chmodding the bot and the folder it is in to 777 (or 755 on some hosts) and try it out.

Ifile it wasnt included ? Can you give me the file URL of mediafire which bot bins incorrectly.

My vbbot not send the MP's to users. Everything is set up, how do I?

Post your bot.php file..

I ran this last night and it worked great. I'm just a bit confused about exactly how this runs. Just a couple of questions:

When I try to run it again today, I just get a message "Bot is running". Does that mean that the bot is constantly checking links?? Or do I need to run it manually every day? If I delete the botruns.txt file manually I can run the program again but then everyone gets pm's again about their links.

When I look in the botruns.txt file it only has a 1 - is that what its supposed to have?

What does the program do with threads it has already checked? Will it check them again each time it is run? I set the forum where the dead ones were being moved to as one of the forums that isn't checked.

I set up a report forum and got a message the first time I ran it, but nothing since then. Is that normal?

This is the link

yes you are right i am not blaiming this mod its just the way i have my board set up it not working for me

i will try it again when it has been fixed of any bugs it may have now

Suggestion..

When the bot fount a dead link and make report post i thing its good idea to add also one line to the original post 1 dead link

Great - I'm going to use it as Linkbot's avatar loll. Thanks

Kaycee read the faq in maxwcoders it will answer most of the questions.
@pierians try decreasing sleep time of topic from 100 to 75

i use it but it teel me now bot is running "???

This works great for me and scanned over 5,000 posts with no problem but for some reason the bot doesn't append the "Links checked on .... by link checker bot" message to the posts.

Any ideas?

Thanks for this mod.

No ideas tbh... PM me your bot.php file
@Skierpetros - Read the FAQ at MaxWCoders
