Link Checker
|
|
------------
|
|
|
|
Installation:
|
|
|
|
1. Place the entire linkchecker folder into your modules directory.
|
|
2. Go to Administer -> Site building -> Modules and enable the Link checker module.
|
|
3. Go to Administer -> Site configuration -> Link checker and enable the node types to scan.
|
|
4. Check all HTML tags that should be scanned.
|
|
5. Adjust the other parameters if the defaults don't suit your needs.
|
|
6. Save configuration
|
|
7. Wait for cron to check all your links... this may take some time! :-)
|
|
|
|
If links are broken they appear under Administer -> Reports -> Broken links.
|
|
|
|
If not, make sure the cron is configured and running properly on your Drupal
|
|
installation. The Link checker module also logs somewhat useful info about it's
|
|
activity under Administer -> Reports -> Recent log entries.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Required:
|
|
|
|
1. For internal URL extraction you need to make sure that Cron always get called
|
|
with your real public site URL (for e.g. http://example.com/cron.php). Make
|
|
sure it's never executed with http://localhost/cron.php or any other
|
|
hostnames or ports, not available from public. Otherwise all links may be
|
|
reported as broken and cannot verified as they should be.
|
|
|
|
To make sure it always works - it's required to configure the $base_url in
|
|
the config settings.php with your public sites URL. Better safe than sorry!

Known issues:
|
|
|
|
There are a lot of known issues in drupal_http_request(). These have been solved
|
|
in HTTPRL. As a workaround it's recommended to use HTTPRL in linkchecker.
|
|
|
