Valid Link

This module performs validation of links in the node body after node submit and shows an error message if any links are broken.

Furthermore, the module checks all links with cron and sends notifications to node authors if any links become not available in the future.

This module uses the notification_emails module

To install, place the entire module folder into your modules directory.
Go to Administer -> Site Building -> Modules and enable the Valid link module.

• To set up access rights go to: Administer -> User management -> Access Control
• To change module settings go to: Administer -> Site Configuration -> Valid Links
• To check list of broken links on the site go to: Administer -> Logs -> Invalid Links

This module is a very simple and lightweight alternative to the Linkchecker module. Linkchecker has more features, and is probably the better choice if you want an all-singing and dancing link validation solution for your site.

This module is small, lightweight, and does email notifications. If linkchecker would have been around when we originally needed this functionality, we would have probably used that instead. Having said that, this module does the job for us, and does it pretty well.
