Administrative and Maintenance Tools - Link Checker Bot

Custom Link Checker Bot 1.0

I have decided to code my own link checker bot.

This link Checker Checks links from....

• Rapidshare
• Mediafire
• Megaupload
• Easy-Share
• Netload
• Depositfiles

To install....

1. Upload all of the files in the "upload" folder

2. Open the product-dlc.xml in Notepad or Wordpad.

3. Place your forum username in every username="" tag you see.

4. After that you can import the product.

5. Setting up a cron to make it run automatically. Set up the cron here. admincp>scheduled tasks>add new scheduled task

Use these variables.

Varname: dead_link_checker

Title: Dead Link Checker Bot

Description: Checks for dead links and adds them to graveyard

Log Phrase: dead_link_checker

Set how often you want it to run

Then

Filename: ./includes/cron/dlc.php





Please post comments and feedback here.

Files below.

you cant support something that has to be rebuilt, he is taking his time as im sure he will release a new version as this doesn't work worth a damn, i want it to scan all my sections but it does 10 links at a time thats just lame i have over 55 thousand links and with the crons not working and setting it to the 50 max is still useless i want to set a cron to have it scan every thread 1 time per day..

thanks for the coder regarding his work
this is very important issue regarding the visitors of the forums, as they become frustrated when they take long time redirected to dead link web pages.
but Unfortunately your modification need some improvements to become perfect one

There is some points I would like to take attention

1. if the post contain too much links ex. 30 the mod hang up (stop working)
2. if the post contain only one dead link from many working active links, the Bot send all the thread to the graveyard even if there is a replay contain correction to the link
3. the cron job not working
4. if the Bot cann`t process one thread ex. thread id 12345, it cann`t bypass it and manage the next one id 12346.

is there any methodes just to mark the linke if active or dead only without transfering the whole thread to another forum like this example and pm the poster with his dead links after specific period it will be transfered to the graveyard
http://www.example.com/dsadda/dffds (Active).
http://www.example.com/fdsg/gdfgd (dead).

I hope it will be fixed and upgraded , really it is a great Modification
good luck
best regards

because you didnt set up where to move the dead links

go to AdminCP>DLC Configuration> GraveYard Forum ID then put the forum id where you want to move the dead links automatically

btw mac-warez this is working on 3.8.2 version?

[supLaditOz]

hey mac warez

im getting this error

file_get_contents(http://gecko.myusers.info/mime.php?url=http%3A%2F%2Frapidshare.com%2Ffiles%2F211105820%Blablabla.rar) [function.file-get-contents]: failed to open stream: Connection refused in [path]/includes/cron/dlc.php on line 144

I'm not getting any errors and it seems to work fine, I think.

But I wonder in the designated forum for the dead link 'boneyard' ... can it be shut off to posting so no stupid members post it, just 'read only'. It will still send dead links to there right?

I have no dead links yet so I just want to make sure the Boneyard forum can set to 'no posting'

Also this product must scan all outside posted links, not just:
Rapidshare
Mediafire
Megaupload
Easy-Share
Netload
Depositfiles

PLEASE keep us updated.

Thank you

why link in www delete ?
my english so so sorry

[zero5854]

working great for me on my 3.8.1!!

Have a question though.

1-can we change the link color? say green when checked and good, red when checked and bad
2-Can we turn OFF the bot Pm when link is dead?

Thanks

EDIT: OK it worked as it should BUT I think it has a problem with SQL. It kept messing up my DB tables? At one point one of my forums had 16,1783,841 posts!

Also It moves WAAAAAYYY to fast! it doesnt seem to take a break after sets it also replies to the same dead topic over and over again. Weird it was working for awhile there.
