This type of functionality is very easy to get a very high load. It needs to be able to scan
millions of posts without causing server problems.
I intend to run this addon once, have the dead links cleaned up and then uninstall again. Would uninstalling affect the dead links in any way? (with DLM we were left with 15k posts with bbcode in it)
I would keep it installed
if not for the callbacks.
We didn't test the add-on on a database with millions of posts, but of course, we are here to assist with any performance issues and fix any problems reproduced. Of course, you can remove the dead links and uninstall the add-on. Currently, the add-on loads on front-end only to show some additional information next to the link itself, to allow checking links inside a post from front-end etc. We can make all these features optional, so the add-on will be guaranteed not to run any SQL and or heavy code on front-end.
I will update Perspective API thread and address your concerns regarding callbacks there.
I’ll check and let you know about the usage, we’ll keep it monitoring though.
Why some URL format are not show correct? Its look like bug format?
Add setting "Options" to the Menu. Also are you adding Link checker Log? That do log what I made change from this add-on?
Not sure about these particular links. Please contact us via Support System to review it. In general, please consider reporting stuff in Support System, if the problems may be somehow related to your site or your database, and we may need to check the issue on your site. We can't ask you for access details here, so all we can do is just to ask to contact us via Support System.
Thank you for the suggestion, we will implement it.
We are yet to get any Addons Labs' add-ons, but now this and your post makes me think, I wasn't aware they have callbacks. That is unacceptable. We have over 70 add-ons installed and many of them are premium paid-for add-ons and none of them have callbacks as far as I know.
Not a fan of the practice - hopefully Addons Lab can change this.
Please check back in the other thread in some time and let's discuss this topic there.
@AddonsLab As I know this add-on does not have any callbacks ... ?
This is very vague wording which actually implies that there are callbacks done through crons.
It does, as it states in the section about licensing information. I am sorry this was not completely clear, we didn't indent to cause any misunderstanding, but we wanted to stress the fact, that there are no callbacks at all. I am sure it is completely clear for most of experienced admins over here, that if they have any licensing system, like license key, and if the license expires in some time, callbacks are the main and practically only way to ensure this (IonCube encoded software could be an alternative, but I don't think many users in XenForo community are confortable with that solution either).
I will discuss this further in another thread as a reply to
@Alfa1 's posts. Please post there about the callbacks, and report here related to Link Checker issues only.
Thank you!
