Answered What do I need to do to activate URL status check on RMS2.3? (Coming from XF1)

[Alpha1]

RMS has website / URL status checking which is great. I have a lot of website / url fields in XF1. These are custom Item fields. After upgrade to XF2 do I need to port these fields to a different type of field to allow for URL status checking?
Are there settings I need to set to activate the status check or is it done automatically trough cron?

Correct, added in RMS 2.3. It is a new feature that wasn't in the XF1 version of RMS.

After upgrade to XF2 do I need to port these fields to a different type of field to allow for URL status checking?

Yes. You'd need to edit each item and set the newly added input "Website URL". That stores the website URL in the website_url field in the xf_xa_rms_item table



If you have a Custom Item Field called "Website URL" and the format is exactly the same as the new website_url field, then I am sure you can find a developer to write a small php script for YOU ONLY (because it would be field name specific) to migrate that data from the specific custom field into the website_url field in the xf_xa_rms_item table. Someone like @mysiteguy could handle it for you

There is no expectation of data being converted from a custom field into this new feature.

I'd just push out an email asking members to update their items to set the new Website URL field.

Sorry, wish I had a better answer.

Thanks Bob!

I have manually filled in the website field for an ITEM (Product). How do I enable URL checking for this field? The drop down does not display 'view URL check logs'. Maybe because there have been no checks yet.

Where can I find settings for URL checking?
I would expect these here above the setting for domain blacklist:
/admin.php?options/groups/xaRms/
But I don't see it there. I have checked usergroup permissions for a permission to check URLs, but did not find it.
What steps do I need to take to enable this feature?

It was your suggestion for both AMS and again for RMS.

Could very well be some sort of edge case bug. I can look into it this weekend. Extremely busy with releases for AMS, UBS and Showcase at the moment.

@Alpha1

migrate that data from the specific custom field into the website_url field in the xf_xa_rms_item table.

UPDATE xf_xa_rms_item AS i
INNER JOIN xf_xa_rms_item_field_value f ON f.item_id = i.item_id
SET i.website_url = f.field_value
WHERE f.field_id = [your value];

If you take a look at the contents of xf_xa_rms_item_field_value you'll quickly see what the appropriate field_id is. For me it's 0x55524C

@Alpha1 This is all sorted in the next RMS release (RMS 2.3.2). Most of the feature never got pushed from development to staging, so wasn't included with the release (options, SQL for the new log table etc). Its now fully developed and pushed from dev to staging, so the next build (RMS 2.3.2) will include adding the new log table, new actions on the item controller, new entity, new finder, new function in the items repo, new phrases, new options etc..

Probably next week sometime for RMS 2.3.2.
