9)Methods are accessible with keywords.

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

Is there any way you can have it add an entry into the threadhistory so we know where it came from? And can it just move posts?

yes can someone please tell us the new url for the bot right now in vbbot.php it is....

Code:
http://rapidshare.com/cgi-bin/checkfiles.cgi
They either changed that or the key words for a dead file that this bot uses.

EDIT: NVM thats not the problem. I checked the script of a updated link checker PHP and it uses that address as well so its gotta be something else.

I noticed hes missing a line here that SHOULD be for rapidshare.com he only has .de

Code:
$sites = array(
     array("megaupload\.com/([a-z]{2}\/)?\?d=", "(Filename:)|(All download slots assigned to your country)", "@\/([a-z]{2}\/)@i", "/en/"),
     array("rapidshare\.de\/files\/", "You want to download"),
     array("filefactory\.com\/file\/", "(download link)|(Please try again later)"),
     array("mediafire\.com\/?", "You requested", "@com\?@i", "com/download.php?"),
	 array("mediafire\.com\/\?sharekey", "Folder Name:"),
     array("depositfiles\.com\/([a-z]{2}\/)?files\/", "File Name", "@(com\/files\/)|(com\/[a-z]{2}\/files\/)@i", "com/en/files/"),
     array("sendspace\.com\/file\/", "The download link is located below.")
	           );
NEEEEEVVVVEEERRR MIND!

I am using this on vb 3.8.2 with NOOOOOOOOOO PROBLEMS! please check ur server settings and that u have the bot settings correct.

I have checked ALL the posts it has binned and it is correct everytime.

@soundbarrierpro - In every topic bot checks, it adds this line.
@LordNinja - I'm not sure, sorry.
Mine doesnt show at all even with the edit?
Using 3.8.2

NVM this worked but it also messed up my tables

Hey,

Not sure how to remove 1 line of this;
Links checked on 12/09/08 by: ****** Link Checker Bot
Links checked on 12/09/08 by: ****** Link Checker Bot

The bot works fine but it adds 2 links of
''Links Checked on [DATE] by: [NAME] Link Checker Bot. (As shown above).

Is it possible to do some ''tweaking'' to remove 1 line...?

Help would be appreciated. Ty.

Dman, has this bot been fixed to be compatible with the new rapidshare layout? My forum has A LOT of rapidshare links so it would be useless for me to download and install this if that hasn't been corrected. Appreciate this hack homie, this is something that I've needed for a LONG time. Good lookin out.
