"Note that the links are discovered only when someone navigates on a page containing external links." :) So navigate to some page having some links and then go back to the Link Checker tab, you should see the state of the links. Thanks -Vincent

Hi freinds, The link checker module is still not working, I have visited all pages with external link, but any broken links dont show up on the external links tab, is there a way to troubleshoot this module?

vmassol wrote Hello Vincent, my colleague Debanjan has now picked up this issue at our company. He is having difficulty posting to the listserv, so I am posting for him: Hi Vincent, Will it work if we include that line of code in the file xwiki.cfg in our 4.2. deployment?

Hi Vincent, Yes I got that and added that configuration in "xwiki.properties" file(and restarted the Tomcat service) and ran into a couple of new issues. i. I went into the External Links page, it showed me 2 broken links(which is correct). Then I edited by broken links test page and corrected the broken links and as expected the items in External Links Page went away. Now as I again re-created the broken links, the External Links page is no more showing up the broken links. I had to restart the Tomcat service to make it work.

ii. This one is a little odd. If I keep the "icon" parameter in the config. "rendering.transformations = macro, icon , linkchecker", this is what is happening to the page contents: <http://xwiki.475771.n2.nabble.com/file/n7582181/xwiki.png>

Any help on the above issues will be highly appreciated. Looking forward to hear from you. Thanks, Debanjan -- View this message in context: http://xwiki.475771.n2.nabble.com/Question-About-Link-Checker-Module-tp7580… Sent from the XWiki- Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

vmassol wrote Lisa posting for Debanjan: Hi Vincent, Right, I assume then we have remove "icon" from the configuration. That is exactly the way we configured in the first place (as below) rendering.transformations = macro, linkchecker Am I correct in guessing that with the configuration as above, the link checker would not work?

vmassol wrote If I'm understanding your question correctly, Vincent, then yes, there is a change. We've had this configuration in xwiki.properties all along: rendering.transformations = macro, linkchecker (icon transformation inactive) But the Link Checker has not worked properly, as described in earlier posts. And we have visited all the pages, multiple times. When Debanjan added "icon" again, the Link Checker started working as expected. But we *don't* want the Icon Transformation active.

Regarding an earlier question you asked, I'm not 100% sure whether we are behind an HTTP proxy or not; I will have to wait for Debanjan (in another time zone) to answer that. (I'm the business analyst/content administrator; he's the developer.) I don't think we are, but if so, would that make a difference, and how? -- View this message in context: http://xwiki.475771.n2.nabble.com/Question-About-Link-Checker-Module-tp7580… Sent from the XWiki- Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

This request is actually addressed to *anyone* who will help. We are having a critical issue. After many weeks of trying, we cannot get the Link Checker to behave in a stable manner. This risks our goal of using XWIKI as our primary wiki tool, because we still have no way to manage broken links - and this is a priority business requirement for us. Our last effort was upgrading to XWIKI 4.3 Stable. At first, the Link Checker seemed to be working, but as Sanjib describes below, it "stops." Each time we restart the server, it runs for a little while, and then stops again. It does not finish "crawling" the spaces. It does not find all known broken links, and the date in the "last checked" column does not change. The queue size (Main.CheckLink) also "freezes" after a certain point. * Xwiki.properties is configured with "rendering.transformations = macro, icon, linkchecker". * We visit all the links (some pages have known broken links, and we watch for those). Please help us. You may also IM me (lisalisa) or Sanjib or for further information if necessary. I am the business analyst/content administrator, and Sanjib is the developer.

...I have noticed that the table columns do not sort reliably. Can you suggest any modifications to the syntax? This is what we currently have: {{velocity}} #set($columns = [ 'link', 'page', 'code', 'date']) #set($columnsProperties = { 'link' : { 'type' : 'text' }, 'page' : { 'type' : 'text' }, 'code' : { 'type' : 'text' }, 'date' : { 'type' : 'text' } }) #set($options = { 'resultPage': 'XWiki.ExternalLinksJSON', 'translationPrefix' : 'platform.linkchecker.livetable.', 'rowCount' : 50, 'description' : 'This table lists the states of all external links found on this wiki. The columns can be sorted.' }) #livetable('links' $columns $columnsProperties $options) {{/velocity}}
