The reciprocal URL checker doesn't appear to be working. This is found in edit.tpl - there's a link called 'check validity' which opens a pop-up window. This returns one of my custom error pages, which leads me to suspect that the URL checker is not including the http:// infront of the URL..?
You're not using 3.3.19's template though, which is why it's not working for you. I'm not going to tell everyone to overwrite a template for a rarely used feature that's already present elsewhere.
hmm, ok I checked it from the default template (3.3.19's default templates) and it still doesn't work. I'll remove my custom errorpage and then see what happens...
found the problem - checkone.php is not present. Its trying to find it in the wsnroot folder, whereas in the download zip its actually in the /admin folder.... Either you have an incorrect filepath in the script or the file is in the wrong folder.
ok, looks like the filepath may be incorrect as I placed checkone.php in teh root folder, but when I try the reciprocal checker now its giving this: Fatal error: main(): Failed opening required 'adminstart.php' which seems to indicate the file needs to be in the /admin folder....
Doing that re-breaks it to the way it was a few versions ago.
Actually it looks like you two must use the 'edit' page from the admin panel -- which I've never used as it's absurdly useless and takes much longer to reach, I only keep it as an option because some people forget they can edit from the user side. A few versions ago the link only worked in the admin version, which I considered broken and fixed to only work in the regular version. [IFADMIN../]{ADMINDIR} will make it work in both.
nope. I use the checker from the user side. I've additionally also placed the checker link in details.tpl, so I can quickly check a reciprocal link from a link's details page, rather than editing the link and then doing it from there.... but, to reiterate, I don't use the edit in the admin panel

To summarize (in case other folks are as dumb as me):
1. put checkone.php into your wsnlinks root dir (above the admin dir)
2. edit the "Edit Link" template and change this:
onclick="window.open('{ADMINDIR}/checkone.php?id={LINKID}'
to this:
onclick="window.open('checkone.php?id={LINKID}'
Anyway, that's what worked for me.

Well scanreg's instructions certainly break it from the user side.
