FAQ
Example:
In general, it is recommended to use always a project to download your libraries. In an application normally there is more than one library needed.
- Some hosting areas are not accessible by a terminal or SSH. Then it is not possible to use Composer.
- To use Composer is sometimes complicated. Especially for beginners.
- Composer needs much resources. Sometimes they are not available on a simple webspace.
- If you are using private repositories you don't need to share your credentials. You can set up everything on our site and then you provide a simple download link to your team member.
- Simplify your Composer build process. Use our own command line tool to download the vendor folder as binary. This makes your build process faster and you don't need to expose your credentials for private repositories.
Informations about the package externallinks
External links
Introduction
The external links module is a task and ModelAdmin to track and to report on broken external links.
Maintainer Contact
- Damian Mooyman (@tractorcow) [email protected]
Features
- Add external links to broken links reports
- Add a task to track external broken links
Installation
Report
A new report is added called 'External Broken links report'. When viewing this report, a user may press the "Create new report" button which will trigger an ajax request to initiate a report run.
In this initial ajax request this module will do one of two things, depending on which modules are included:
- If the queuedjobs module is installed, a new queued job will be initiated. The queuedjobs module will then manage the progress of the task.
- If the queuedjobs module is absent, then the controller will fallback to running a buildtask in the background. This is less robust, as a failure or error during this process will abort the run.
In either case, the background task will loop over every page in the system, inspecting all external urls and
checking the status code returned by requesting each one. If a URL returns a response code that is considered
"broken" (defined as < 200 or > 302) then the ss-broken css class will be assigned to that url, and
a line item will be added to the report. If a previously broken link has been corrected or fixed, then
this class is removed.
In the actual report generated the user can click on any broken link item to either view the link in their browser, or edit the containing page in the CMS.
While a report is running the current status of this report will be displayed on the report details page, along with the status. The user may leave this page and return to it later to view the ongoing status of this report.
Any subsequent report may not be generated until a prior report has completed.
Dev task
Run the following task http://path.to.silverstripe/dev/tasks/CheckExternalLinksTask to check your site for external broken links.
Queued job
If you have the queuedjobs module installed you can set the task to be run every so often.
Whitelisting codes
If you want to ignore or whitelist certain HTTP codes this can be setup via ignore_codes in the config.yml
file in mysite/_config:
Follow 301 redirects
You may want to follow a redirected URL a example of this would be redirecting from http to https can give you a false poitive as the http code of 301 will be returned which will be classed as a working link.
To allow redirects to be followed setup the following config in your config.yml
Bypass cache
By default the task will attempt to cache any results the cache can be bypassed with the following config in config.yml.
Headers
You may want to set headers to be sent with the CURL request (eg: user-agent) to avoid website rejecting the request thinking it is a bot. You can set them with the following config in config.yml.
