VBBot Installation How-To
=========================

1. Upload vbbot.php to your root folder where your VB installation is
Note : If you had older version of the bot, delete vbbot.php (or the folder) and replace it by new one.

2. Goto your ACP and go to 'Plugins & Products' and then click on 'Manage Products'

3. In the top box eneter the location of the product-link_bot.xml file on your computer
and then click the 'Import' button.

4. You have just installed the VB Link Checker bot.

5. If you had older version of the bot, delete vbbot.php (or the folder) and replace it by new one.


Setting up and configuring your VB Link Checker
===============================================

1. Create a new user that will be used for your Link Checker Bot. Make sure the bot has
the appropriate permissions for where it will be posting. (ie, VIP/Private forums)

2. Create the forums you will be using for good and bad links if you have not done so already.

3. Goto vBulletin Opions and select the MaxWCoders LinkChecker Bot.

4. All the options/setting are pretty self explanatory and each option has the description
of what the setting are for and do. Refer the the bottow of this Read Me of finding the
correct IDs you will need if you are not sure where to look.

5. Once you have everything set up hit the save button at the bottom.


Security
========
1. For security reasons, it is highly recommended you rename your bot to something else for instance 63454.php

Running your Link Checker Bot
=============================

1. You can run the bot by setting up a Cron job to run at a set time so you will not have to
run it manually. This can be found in your cPannel of your server.

2. You can call it manually by running vbbot.php (ie. http://www.siteurl.com/vbbot.php)

How to find all of your needed IDs.
===================================

How to find your forum ID:
Just goto the forum in question and the URL will look like the one below.

http://www.yourwebsite.com/forumdisplay.php?f=18 <--- The number at the end of the URL
will be the forum ID. In this example
it is 18.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

How to find your user ID
Find the user that is going to be your bot and click on the user name.
Now look at the URL in the address bar. It should look something like the one below

http://www.yourwebsite.com/member.php?u=2 <--- The number at the end of the URL will be
the user ID. In this example the user ID
is 2.

Changelog:
1.0 - 1.1 -> Bug fixes and Product installer

Bugs:

Unfortunately due to time constraints due to exams, I am not able to find the bug fix for the PM bug. Whenever bot tries to PM a certain member with PM disabled, or something similar, it returns a big error. So far only fix for it is, disable PM for that topic and run it again. Maybe after my exams, I can have a better look. Other than that, the new version is just fine

Do you know if the table edits in phpmyadmin affect any other parts of the forum structure? My hand keeps on touching the cookies, but I keep pulling it out of the cookie jar. I really need a mod to check my links but I'm also really afraid of messing with the tables.

Code:
// Start of user defined variables
$trash = '81'; //Forum id of trash
$botid = '150'; //Userid of bot
$botname = 'NovaBot'; //Username of bot
$check = '`forumid` = 15 OR `forumid` = 67 OR `forumid` = 9 OR `forumid` = 72 OR `forumid` = 73 OR `forumid` = 11 OR `forumid` = 65 OR `forumid` = 12 OR `forumid` = 68 OR `forumid` = 13 OR `forumid` = 69 OR `forumid` = 16 OR `forumid` = 63 OR `forumid` = 70 OR `forumid` = 71 OR `forumid` = 52 OR `forumid` = 76 OR `forumid` = 24 OR `forumid` = 56 OR `forumid` = 54 OR `forumid` = 53 OR `forumid` = 2OR3 `forumid` = 55 OR `forumid` = 61 OR `forumid` = 42 OR `forumid` = 44 OR `forumid` = 45 OR `forumid` = 46 OR `forumid` = 48 OR `forumid` = 50'; //Forums to check 
$pa = '
Links checked on ' . date('d/m/y'). ' by <font color="#B4045F"><b>NovaBot</b></font>.'; //This will append this at the end of the checked post
$ppa = '<br /> Links checked on ' . date('m/d/y'). ' by <b>NovaBot</b>.'; //VB uses a caching technique, this will append it to end of parsed post. This is HTML!
$perd = '87'; //Percent decision variable.
$tr = "More than $perd percent of the links are dead. The topic is NovaDump-ed."; // This is the reply in the topic.
$pmt = 'Your Topic has been NovaDump-ed!'; // PM Title
$reportforumid = '79'; //This is where bot will make new topics stating reports
$showurl = 'http://mysite.com/showthread.php?t='; //Your URL
//Check Line 226 to edit PM message.
*mysite is just to keep my site anonymous.

Also, I have the tfSEO installed, so will it interfere with this mod?

Thanks!
