TYPO3 Core

The issue is still present on the latest master 9.0.0. but I think for different reasons.

Test:

1- create a text with pic content element
2- edit header and assign an external url - the popup is as shown on attached image
2.1 - the url should be non-existent e.g. http://www.repubblica.it/psofjspjprojgfpodgjfpogjfdpogjdfopg
3 - tab images, add an image and add another non-existent external url - the popup looks like the same.
4- save
5- use linkvalidator

Result:

Only one external url result broken (the one set on the header)

Sorry, I don't understand the original bug description. I read it three times, no chance.

I can reproduce the bug description by Ricardo using TYPO3 8.

The dead links that are inserted in the header are put in the table tt_content.

The dead links that are inserted in the attached images are put in the table sys_file_references.

The default page TSconfig for linkvalidator:

mod.linkvalidator {
    searchFields {
        pages = media,url
        tt_content = bodytext,header_link,records
        tt_news = bodytext,links
    }
    ...

So, it only checks the tables tt_news, pages, tt_content.

You can change it like so:

mod.linkvalidator {
    searchFields {
        pages = media,url
        tt_content = bodytext,header_link,records
        tt_news = bodytext,links
        sys_file_reference = link
    }

...

}

Could indeed be changed to include more by default, but I wouldn't classify that as a bug.

But, if you do add sys_file_reference to the configuration, it will correctly display the dead link but another new problem arises: The pen will jump to the edit wizard for sys_file_reference, but you can't change the link there, you need the edit wizard for tt_content.

So, Linkvalidator does not properly handle sys_file_reference records (and probably wasn't intended to because it was developed before FAL).

Yes! thank you!

I close this issue as I tested both TYPO3 8.7.10 and 9.2.0-dev (latest master) and none of the problems reported can be reproduced

Prerequisites¶

- TYPO3 installation; in home page > page TSConfig field add:

mod.linkvalidator {
    searchFields {
        pages = media,url
        tt_content = bodytext,header_link,records
        tt_news = bodytext,links
        sys_file_reference = link
    }
}

- activate LinkValidator

Test procedure¶

- Add Text and Image content element
- Add an image
- click on set link icon to open the wizard > click on "External url" tab and add a non-existent external url

Results¶

- the link is saved correctly (with http://)
- LinkValidator > search for all broken links > the link added to the image is reported (albeit with the problem reported on comment 3) which is a different problem, and will have a dedicated issue by its own.

If you think that this is the wrong decision or I have misunderstood and and a different test should be performed, please reopen it or open a new issue with a reference to this one. Thank you!
