Feature #84990
Updated by Sybille Peters over 6 years ago
Currently, RteHtmlParser::markBrokenLinks checks only for broken *page links* and marks them accordingly.
If linkvalidator is installed and broken links records are available, the broken *external links* could be marked in the same fashion.
Also *file links* and other links could be considered.
This would not only make fixing broken links using the linkvalidator much easier, but would also make this information available whenever a record is edited.
Based on some issues Christian Kuhn raised in the patch, the following should be be considered:
* having dependencies from core to linkvalidator would be bad practice. Thus, the corresponding code should be moved from RteHtmlParser::markBrokenLinks to a place, such as in core/Classes/LinkHandling
and a hook or something similar should be added, which can be used by Linkvalidator
* must add a check if in backend context?
Also, setting the style, must be done differently, as this currently does not work with ckeditor, but this is being addressed by #84987 ("Add css style for broken page links in ckeditor").
