    can't get any link to show up in the list

    Hey,

    i recently found your package and it looks promissing, but so far i have not been able to get any link show up as queued or broken.

    this is what i did:
    1) installed the rss package
    2) installed the broken links package

    now i wonder if this works for both external and internal links so i tried both

    a) i added a link into a page leading towards http://www.hahathisisreallynotaworkingurl.eu
    b) i published the page and it did not show up in any of the 2 lists

    c) then i tried republishing the whole site (thought it should probably trigger the script maybe for all pages even.. but nothing showed up
    d) then i added a link to the page, leading towards another content node. i published the page
    e) then i unpublished the target node, and republished the page with the link on.
    f) but again, nothing showed up in the list

    so either i am doing something totally wrong here and should better wait for your screencast or there is a bug.
    but i think i'll wait for you screencast and see how it should work and try again then.
    after seeing that i will then update this post hopefully with the message that i found the solutions.

    Sander

    Hi Sander,

    What files are contained in your /umbraco/plugins/FergusonMoriyama/BrokenLink folder?

    My initial guess is that it is write permissions to that folder that you are lacking.

    Do you have the Broken and Queued Links tab on your dashboard? Are they just empty at the moment?

    1)in the umbraco/plugins/FergusonMoriyama/BrokenLink folder i have these files

    • broken.config
    • LinkCheck.aspx
    • PostInstall.ascx
    • queue.config
    • Resolve.aspx

    2) yes i have the 2 tabs, and it just says: "No broken links currrently found. " (or queued links for the other...)

    when the control loads i see that it is doing something, i get a loading image for a few seconds and then i get the above messages.

    Hi Darren

    First off - great package.  We have just imported a 4500-page static html site into umbraco and naturally there are quite a few broken links, so this will be invaluable for the site authors.

    I wonder if you have any manual installation instructions at hand?  I'm having a similar problem as Sander, although I can't even get "No broken links..." text.

    The problems probably stems from the fact that I currently have a problem installing any packages - on the last screen of the package installer I get "This page is being redirected in a way that will never resolve".

    With this in mind, I've tried to manually configure the plugin but seem to have come unstuck.  Here's what I've don

    1. Installed dashboard RSS and verified that is working by using the BBC/umbraco package feed

    2. Installed broken link checkers ( the Dashboard.config file looks like below)

    <section>
      <areas>
         <area>default</area>
          <area>content</area>
      </areas>
        <tab caption="Broken Links">
                <control>/umbraco/plugins/FergusonMoriyama/DashRss/DashRss.ascx</control>
     </tab>
      <tab caption="Queued Links">
            <control>/umbraco/plugins/FergusonMoriyama/DashRss/DashRss.ascx</control>
     </tab>
    </section>

    dashrss.config looks like the following (I guessed at the feed locations)

      <feed key="Broken Links">/umbraco/plugins/FergusonMoriyama/BrokenLink/broken.config</feed>
      <feed key="Queued Links">/umbraco/plugins/FergusonMoriyama/BrokenLink/queue.config</feed>

    3.  Checked permissions on plugins/fergusonmoriyama folder - network service has full permissions on whole folder and subfolders.

    Is there anything else I may be missing?

    Should mention that Dashboard RSS works flawlessly and the five files mentioed above are in my BrokenLink folder

    • broken.config
    • LinkCheck.aspx
    • PostInstall.ascx
    • queue.config
    • Resolve.aspx

    Also it's server 2003, sql express, IIS 6, .net 3.5

    Cheers,
    Dan

    Did the installer put any DLLs in your bin directory?

    Do you have a scheduled task setup that hits Linkcheck.aspx? What happens when you hit Linkcheck.aspx and Resolve.aspx manually with a browser?

    Are queue.config and broken.config empty?

    Thanks for the reply

    FergusonMoriyama.BrokenLinkCheckerForUmbraco.dll, FergusonMoriyama.DashRss.dll and FergusonMoriyama.Rss.dll are in the /bin directory.

    No scheduled task set up yet, but I've hit LinkCheck.aspx a few times manually and get "Ferguson Moriyama" as the ouput (source below)


    <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">

    <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" >

        Broken Link check
    </title></head>
    <body>
        <form method="post" action="/umbraco/plugins/FergusonMoriyama/BrokenLink/LinkCheck.aspx" id="form1">
    <div>
    <input type="hidden" name="__VIEWSTATE" id="__VIEWSTATE" value="/wEPDwUJNzgzNDMwNTMzZGT/wfBw/a42MMZNlwZYK2M3wyQ6GA==" />
    </div>

        <div>
            Ferguson Moriyama
        </div>
        </form>
    </body>
    </html>

    (I also tried "submitting" this page by using document.forms[0].submit() in firebug)

    When hitting resolve.aspx I get "parameter 'key' cannot be null".

    queue.config and broken.config contain only the RSS channel information, no rss items.

    Thanks for your time,
    Dan

    Hi - have pretty much got to the same stage as Dan above... installed the RSS feed package, which seems to work fine.  Installed the BrokenLink checker package, but it didn't display the two tabs to begin with.  They were in the Dashboard.config file, but in it's own section - copied the two tab entries to the main 'MyDashBoard' secion and now I get the two tabs appearing in my content area, but they're blank.

    The installer did place a scheduled task in the umbracoSettings.config file (with interval="60").

    Also as above, navigating to LinkCheck.aspx, I get the same 'Ferguson Moriyama' text, and when navigating to resolve.aspx I also get paramter 'key' cannot be null.

    Any help greatly appreciated as it seems like an excellent package to have ;-)

    I am getting the exact same results as above.  Has anyone come up with a resolution?  After 7 months surely someone figured out the problem.

    Is the Broken Link Checker compatible with Umbraco 4.7?, having the same issues as above. :-(

    Doesn't seem to work with 4.0.3 either :\ Too bad cause this seems like a really cool package.
