BLC - Broken Link Checker



Posted on 23 October 2024
Functionality
Setup seams easy, but interface is confusing. This should probably be a core functionality of Joomla.
Ease of use
Takes a lot of digging to discover the info you need. Why do I have to keep typing more characters?
Support
Done a couple of support requests using their contact form but no response yet (been 2 days).
Documentation
Not very comprehensive. Why do I have to keep typing more characters? Why do I have to keep typing more characters?
I used this to: Not sure yet - it seems to be sort of working, but not catching all broken links. Hence the support requests.
Owner's reply: Hi,

thanks for the feedback,

appears that my response didn't reach you, I tried resending the mail.

I do not understand your remark: 'Why do I have to keep typing more characters?'.

It is quite possible that the extension does not find all links on your site. Links can be located in all different kind of components and (database) fields. The link checker needs know where to find them, basically each component will need a specific extractor to find the links.

looking forward to improving the extension and documentation.
