Just spent a bit of time getting the addon to work with my website couple of CSS issues with my theme. Im really happy with how its turned out, it’s a great little modification.

I think it looks pretty neat, set mine to test all links on board every 24 hours. Pretty much completes my forum "core" feature wise, which is awesome

[devil_jin]

I tried it but its not working for me...

And the author is not supporting the thread..

 

[Juo]

Whats the issue?

 

[devil_jin]

Well even if the links are dead it shows them as Good...

Check the image.. I have the firefox addon and this is how it looks on the forum..

 

[Juo]

Does your server have cURL support?

 

[devil_jin]

I am sorry I am a noob at this so not sure what exactly ur asking..

Iam using bounceweb.com as my hosting.

 

[Mr Happy]

cURL is an advanced PHP function that allows the Link Checker to go to a page search and view the links. It then uses cURL to go to Rapidshare and the other hosts and check their alive. A lot of cheap hosts don't have or allow cURL for security but if you on their shared hosting plan on bounceweb.com then yes you can use cURL. Sometimes it may not be activated though as standard. You should check to make sure it's on/activated.

If cURL is on and working then let us know and we'll try and find another reason.

 

[devil_jin]

Well theres another forum I am sharing the host with since my plan is unlimited and on his forum its working fine but when I asked him he is not ready to help me...

If u guys would be kind enough to tell me how to Turn on the cURL I would do it and check...

 

[devil_jin]

Any help guys??

 

[Dman]

Ask your hosting support, cause I doubt you are on a dedi.

 

[Juo]

You cant turn on cURL only your host can. As ask them if its turned on Dman

 

[Mr Happy]

You could run a script first and see if it's turned on or not. Their are lots available eg. Dman's free link checker page has a built in debug to see if cURL is enabled. It's free and just one file which you could use to check if cURL works on your site first. If not then you have to get your host to activate cURL as only the host can activate it as Juno said.

Download Dman's script here. It's tiny at just 3kb

Open it with notepad or another similar editor then change the line to 1 near the top:

$debug = 0; // change it to one to enable it.

Upload it and see if it works. Easy as that.

Let us know how you get on.
