Broken link check package for Umbraco

Filed under: Umbraco - by Darren Ferguson @ 9:16 AM

I've created a package to check for broken links in Umbraco pages. You can download it here.

While reading through some of the notes on open space sessions conducted as part of codegarden day 2 I saw this requested as a 'most wanted' package. I remembered that I had the code to do this from a couple of years ago, so I cleaned it up a little and decided to release it.

The package is implemented as an Umbraco action handler. When you publish a node, it's content is scanned for broken links. If any are found then a report is emailed to the document publisher. You need to have Umbraco configured so it is able to send email.

The package will handle external links as well as internal absolute and relative links.

As ever, thoughts, suggestions, comments and feature requests are all welcome.

    @Morten - I can add it to codeplex if you'd like or just send it over to you.
