What does this do?
For anyone who has seen or got my Image Status Checker hack, this is exactly the same, but works on links ([url=], [url]) instead. Basically it scans all your posts, extracts all the url tags, and scans each of the images to see if they're still valid. The rest of this is basically the description of that hack reworded Why? I had a look at all the links on my site and was alarmed at how many were now gone. Since the only way you can check the links on your board is to manually read every post and click them, I decided to come up with a better way... and this is it. How does it work? The first part: In the AdminCP, under Maintenance and Update Counters... right at the bottom is this hack. It works by looking up every url tag, then requesting the image, and reading the http status code. So code 200 means 'image ok', 404/410 means 'image gone' etc. That then gets stored in a database table. A server has 15 seconds to reply to the request or the status is labelled as "Unknown" The second part: The browsing element, linkstatuscheck.php (original filename huh!). This allows you to browse all the images found in the last scan using some powerful filtering (statuses to display, search, order by). Hack features
Bad Things It's far from a perfect hack, there are many things to do. Please be aware that I won't be doing them, but if anyone else wants a crack, feel free!
Footnotes The code to the Image Status Check hack is very similar, so I pretty much copy pasted and adapted it. It is a little bigger due to handling the [url=] "option", but you may find references to images. Let me know if you do. It will work on 3.6 and 3.5, though you'll need to remove the "executionorder=" from the .xml file to get it working on 3.5 Installation Upload linkstatuscheck.php to your vB directory. Install the product, set overwrite to yes. Customizing
Screenies Exactly the same as the Image Status Checker, only with URL links rather than image links. What? I'm feeling lazy. Show Your Support

Whatever you like. The mod is designed to find the dead links for you as information. It's up to you what you do with it.
My suggestion would be to show the users the output screen and let them either update the link or delete the post. |

As other users have posted, I am also getting the 'duplicate / dealt with" message for all images except those on the first page (when updating the counters in the admincp). This ought to be extremely easy to fix if the creator of this mod can upload a new version. In the meantime, this basically makes the script worthless without the fix. I am running vB 3.8.0 FYI.
