Link Checker by AddonsLab 1.17.0

This release contains PHP error fixes reported on the thread, mostly preventing errors in some edge-cases reproduced by customers.

The updated release is available in the Client's area at https://customers.addonslab.com/clientarea.php

This update fixes an issue for posts, which consist of links only, which are deleted in batch. The resulting post is an empty text (or a text containing new lines and tabs only), and XenForo fails to save this post back to the DB. The update makes sure, that, in case of empty post content the post gets deleted itself, instead of trying to save it with an empty message.

In this version we have implemented attachment validity check. Attachments added to post text can now be checked and will be reported as not found if the attachment with that ID does not exist any longer.

In this version we have also fixed the bug with "403 Forbidden" links be considered as valid (as designed) but appearing in Moderation Queue as invalid. On installation the status of these links will be changed to "449 Retry With", and using Admin -> Tools -> Links -> Rebuild Data page you can targetly re-check these URLs, which will validate them again and remove them from the moderation queue. Just make sure to uncheck the checkbox "Enable Local Cache" to ensure the URLs are re-checked.

Another bug fixed is that in Rebuild Data page unchecking the checkbox "Enable Local Cache" had no effect and the cache was still used.

This release implements cookie support for remote requests, which solves the issues with remote servers, that put cookies during the first request to their server and require the agent to accept the cookies, otherwise, an infinite redirect to the same URL happens. This was implemented to fix the issue with box.com URLs.

This is a bug-fix version solving two issues regarding invalid URL redirect:

1. URLs with status 403 are shown as valid but don't redirect
2. URL redirects are not active if the user does not have permission to see the status of the link

With this release, we have implemented link reporting functionality. Now users can report a link as invalid, and admins will be able to filter/search links by number of reports links got. Some additional options are implemented in product's settings page to control, if link status icon should be shown or no and if the report link should be shown or no. By default, the icons are shown but report link is disabled.

We have also re-written the product to allow plugin system in it, meaning additional content types (e.g. resources, articles) could be checked as well by developing specific add-ons/packages, that hook into our system and support all the same features to check the links in add-ons just as it done for the posts. We prepare to release the first add-on supporting Resources in coming days.

XenForo 2.x version of this product is also in development and will be released in the coming week.
