I need a bot designed for subsilver2 on phpbb3 (a very widely used open source forum script) that can crawl the site and check for dead/deleted rapidshare links (a file hosting site), then move them to another forum if 90% or more of them are dead. I already wrote a standalone script which checks rapidshare links but am unsure on how to convert that to a bot for phpbb3 Can anybody help me? Thanks
I wont code the bot, but I can give you some pointers. since its your own site, you can make this bot connect to your MySQL DB, and go to all posts in the forum `in the posts table`. and then use preg_match, to find rapidshare links. add them all into a txt file, and then another bot would go to all of them, and check
I just sent you a PM but didn't know that you needed custom coding. Unfortunately I'll have to decline for this job. Sorry...
