Error with checking links

[stabuev]

I have installed eSyndicat here http://mincult.org.ru/dir/ but on every link I try to add it say to me that link is broken. I guess that problem is with hosting, but I don't now exactly the reason.

I host at dreamhost.com, hier is info: http://mincult.org.ru/dir/admin/info.php

:(

hello stabuev,
welcome to the forums :)

well I checked and it seems there is really problem with your hosting. I checked your phpinfo and could see you did not have allow_url_fopen enabled. If your server does not want to enable it then I would advise to disable broken link checking.

[stabuev]

I see :( backlink checking is also connected with this option?

[Simon Gooffin]

yes, these both functions are using the same function

[stabuev]

I have connected with my hosting provider, they sat thsat this can help me

is it true ;)

[Simon Gooffin]

hmm, thanks for the link. I will test these code lines and possible I will remake our functions. Anyway, you can make necessary changes yourself. Check functions can be found in utils.php file that is located in admin directory.

[stabuev]

Hi Simon,

You mean util.php? In any case I'm not very qualified in PHP :( So wait for you :)

[Simon Gooffin]

ok, I will create a patch and release it.

[stabuev]

[Simon Gooffin]

[stabuev]

Hi Simon,

hi Soso,
I checked your site :) Please check adding links from your admin panel.
now it uses CURL.
here is the newest code for getting http header by a given url:
/**
* Checks link and returns its header
*
* @param str $aUrl page url
*
* @return int
*/
function get_link_header($aUrl)
{
if (preg_match("'^http://'",$aUrl))
{
$ch = curl_init();
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $aUrl);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HEADER, true);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_NOBODY, true);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
curl_exec($ch);
$code = curl_getinfo($ch, CURLINFO_HTTP_CODE);
curl_close($ch);

if ($code)
{
$http_header = $code;
}
else
{
$http_header = 1;
}
}
return $http_header;
}

Hi Simon,

Thanks :)

And what about adding links from users and checking broken links?

[Simon Gooffin]

do you want me to make that mod also? It's easy :) You can do it yourself just use the code above instead of your current function in util.php file.

[stabuev]

Ok thanks,

1. And where you have made previos changes
2. Do it work also for backlinks checking?

[Simon Gooffin]

I changed the only file: admin/util.php there you can find a function I posted above. TO make changes for your visitors submission - just changes your util.php in your directory script root directory.
I did changes in broken link checking function. I will make changes in your recip checking function asap.

Simon i'm also interested in this patch, because my host doesn't allow url_fopen and he suggested me to use CURL (They said it's more secure).

PageRank checking also need to be changed for CURL i guess..

Whenever i try to check for broken links it asks me to download manage-links.php file, i do not know what the issue is.
