Linkchecker configuration page

The Link checker module extracts links from your content when saved and periodically tries to detect broken hypertext links by checking the remote sites and evaluating the HTTP response codes. It shows all broken links in the reports/logs section and on the content edit page if a link check has been failed.

Features:

  • Selectively scan node types and comments
  • Selectively scan blocks
  • Scans CCK text and link fields in selected nodes
  • Checks internal and by default external links
  • Configurable link check intervals
  • Updates permanently moved (301) links after specified link check fail count
  • Unpublishes nodes after specified file not found (404) fail count
  • URLs from Path Filter module are supported
  • Weblink nodes from Links Package module are supported
  • Supported link protocols: http, https

Dependencies:

  • SQL server with subselect support (MySQL 5.0 or higher, PostgreSQL 7.4 or higher)
  • 6.x-2.x: If nodes, comments or blocks have more than 100 links job_queue module is currently recommended.
  • 5.x-2.x: job_queue module is required.
