Hello,
There is a typo in your newest version - 2025020401
.../moodle.4.5.10-20260415/admin/tool/crawler/classes/robot/crawler.php
PHP Warning: Undefined variable $cookiefilelocation in .../moodle.4.5.10-20260415/admin/tool/crawler/classes/robot/crawler.php on line 1095
Typo is on line 1094:
static $cookiefilelocaion = '';
Missing the letter "t" in 'location' .
I just found and installed this and am also getting that, but I believe it's because of our single-sign-on setup (SAML?). The redirect is to
https://login.microsoftonline.com/9d83cfc7-6330-47d5-b18d-45bafe3b1d87/saml2?SAML... blah, blah... Is there any way around this?
Will the link crawler check links in SCROM content?
Hi, I started a crawling process and it never stopped, this is the mark that the panel throws.

Moodle 4?
Is this plugin working on Moodle 3.10? We upgrade to 3.10 this summer and it stopped working.
Hello everyone,
could someone give me an idea how to make the bot to search into a specific module/course only rather than the whole Moodle site. I am new in using it and doing some testing now - so will appreciate any advice. Thank you!
Would I be right in thinking that the crawler is unable to check H5P content?
This plugin works with the URL located on quiz feedback?
I'm testing it but not working sad
Hello Friends,
Any update to Moodle latest version, please?

Hello,
I've installed the plugin to my Moodle 3.4.5 environment that is using a SQL Server database and i'm getting errors from the plugin. When looking into the code, I found that there is SQL specific to MySQL and is not supported by SQL Server. Also I found that the table mdl_tool_crawler_url has a field called "external" which is a keyword in SQL Server.
Has anyone got this plugin to work with a SQL Server DB? Did you run into the same issues I have?

Hi,
Any one help me about why Progress ETA is more than 5 year from crawl start date in robot status tab.

It would be great to see if this could be updated for 3.6! I can see that the BB community is advocated to get this added to their plugin set as well: https://community.blackboard.com/thread/7082-broken-link-checker-plugin-please - Ben, BlueSky Online School, MN
Hi,
Any updates to M3.6?

Should this be working in 3.3 or 3.4 now? I see you were doing some work on the basic auth so wanted to check in.
Couple of other questions;
1. Is a valid cert required? Your curl command fails due to self-signed cert on my dev machine. can override with -k
2. We are running OKTA/SAML as the default login, again your curl test command returns the OKTA login rather than going to the page. The user is set for basic auth but our default is SAML.
thanks
