[NEW PLUGIN] Error_Jump_Articles v1
Hi,

We are pleased to announce the release of Error_Jump_Articles. This plugin is aimed more at those who want to give reports to their users, based on a selection of URL's entered in the article.

The idea of this plugin is to 'catch' bad links. It verifies the link exists before sending the user to that page. If it finds there is an error, it will show them an error message on your site, thus not giving them a direct bad link. It will also email you the Link ID and error code if you turn this option on.

The new powerful features let you use things like;

Code:
<%if Description contains 'http://'%>
<%Plugins::Error_Jump_Articles::GetURLsFromArticle($Description)%>
<%loop URL_Loop%>
<%SubURL%> - Status: <%Plugins::Error_Jump_Articles::GetURLStatus($ID,$SubURL)%><br/>
<%endloop%>
<%endif%>

This would then print out a list of extracted URL's from the "Description" field (this can be set to whatever field you want). This is ideal for giving feedback on the last known status of a link, before sending the user there. For example;

http://www.ultranerds.com/forum - Status: 200
http://www.domain.com - Status: 200
http://www.a-dead-site.org.com - Status: 404
http://www.google.com/some_sub_page - Status: 200

If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to ask.
