Dead Link Management [Deleted]

During first run, I got this:

Code:

Ok seems to be working.

I am confused by a couple of things:

Why is there text replace field in Options, as well as in rebuild?

But when I put some text in the Text Field there, it just uses whatever is in Options

Also, What is Temporary replace? (In Options)
 
Is it possible to replace links via the bbcode as well as appending some text.

ie so you get something like this:

http:/example.com/deadlink (dead link removed)

This is the default way, this addon will work... so, who is the problem? o_O
I use it also, on xF 1.5.4 and have no error logs or other problems since two last versions... (y)

(Instead of become that should have read bbcode)

Well it's not working like that be default for me, hence the question

I either get the link replaced by underlined non clickable text via the bbcode or I get the text replacement - not both
 
Ah, now I understand what you mean - you will both: bbcode replacement AND text replacement at same time.

But, I personaly see no sense in this and I am not the developer. ;) It makes in my opion only sense if your default link color is the same as the default text color... but that makes totaly no sense. :D ;)

It makes total sense to me. I can replace the dead links with the bbcode, but for future reference if there was some extra text I could then find all links that had been replaced by searching for whatever text I added.

Or is it possible to reach for bbcode - I don't think so.

It is also better user experience, they will know that what looks like a link (it is underlined) is not clickable. If it is just text (e.g. it was the title of a link) then by itself it may make no sense , so the text with it such as "Dead link removed" helps people make sense of what has happened.

Hmm... my qorking links are blue colored and dead links dark grey - so every peopel can see it. But ok, the thing with searching dead links is a point.
At time I have never search for a dead link (external link). For internal dead links, its a option... :)

I would like the option to only check internal links. This is because I would probably want to leave external 301s in place, but fix internal 301s (not ideal for SEO) so a way to list the internal 301s only would be very good.

If you have google webmaster tools then you should be able to export internal dead links to an excell file.

Yes, I have WMT but cannot find a list of internal dead links anywhere there. Can you please tell me where I look for them, thanks.

Are there any plans to create a CLI version of your link checker? In spite of my reasonably beefy server the script has been running for days on end, with only 25% of all links tackled so far.
