404 Widget Version 1.0.0.1 / 1.0.0.2

After a bunch of requests, this morning I upgraded my Graffiti 404 Widget, to offer the ability to clear your 404 statistics. After all, if you found a 404 with this utility, then fixed it, it sucks to see it staring back at you forever.

Now the widget (as pictured below) has a "Clear on Update" check box. Simple open the 404 widget, check this box, hit save, and your 404's are cleared.

Here is a direct download link (Assemblies are version 1.0.0.1)

If you're running GrafittiCMS and this is new to you, make sure you read my original post on the Graffiti 404 Widget.

Enjoy!

[UPDATE] June 10th, 9:20pm

Version 1.0.0.2 is now released, which has a working remove 404 version, that also clears the 404 cache.

As a side effect, I had to write a cache viewer, so I could inspect the cache keys. So if you install this, you'll see a new widget named "ScottCate Graffiti Cache Viewer". I'm not sure if this will be helpful to anyone, but ... it was helpful for me, so instead of deleting it, I just left it in.

Enjoy!

    Oh. My. God.

    Thank you so very, very much. I'm going to start using this IMMEDIATELY.

    As in I've already started using it.

    :( bad news, my friend. Apperently, the widget list clears, but in some instances the count does not. I just generated the same 404 I have been for a while, except the count was in the thousands. That can't be right for being zero'd... Can't replicate it on all, though.

    Appreciate the effort! Its a HUGE improvement to an already great widget.

    there is something in the cache that is sticking around, i spent a few minutes on it, but actually liked the count remaining.

    I can see how others would not like it. I'll look into it.

    Seriously, you've done a hell of a job already. Can't thank you enough.

    OK, Daniel - you're good to go with Version 1.0.0.2

    Thanks man, I just tested it all out and this one works like a dream. Great job! And the cache viewer is an excellent touch, I'm using both now.
