change type of content element: linkvalidator will show irrelevant dead links
0%
Description
On changing the type of a content element, text is still kept in the database tt_content record (e.g. bodytext) even though it is not used. The linkvalidator should only check database columns, if they are actually used (usually depends on ctype in tt_content).
Example: change a text content element to shortcut.
Reproduce:
1) create a text element and insert a dead link : Linkvalidator will correctly report this
2) change content type of content element, e.g. to "insert records" (tt_content.ctype='shortcut') and save (tt_content.bodytext still contains the text with the dead link)
3) Linkvalidator will still incorrectly report the dead link, even thought it is not displaed.
Tested in TYPO3 6.2.14, TYPO3 4.5.40

in theory that is true but TYPO3 currently does nowhere those checks and if it is displayed in the frontend or not is completly up to the integrator as still all fields are also available in TypoScript.

Hi Sybille,
as Georg already mentioned there is no way for the linkvalidator to know what fields are actually rendered in the frontend and which fields are not (despite having content). I will close this ticket for now. If you still think this needs to be fixed or have an idea of how to proceed feel free to reopen or relate a new ticket.
