[opencms-dev] ver. 5 -- How to check the external link

[Xavier Ottolini]

1) Create a Scheduled task.
(example :  execute every day à 5 AM.

0 5 * * * Admin Administrators com.opencms.file.CmsLinkCheck  owneremail



Reference information :
http://mail.opencms.org/pipermail/opencms-dev/2004q3/012375.html

The parameters are the following :
owneremail : the report is sent to the owner of the page.
email:  the report is sent to the e-mail address spécified in the 
registry.xml file.
a pathname to the server : a HTML page is recorded on the server.


2) Copy in the virtual file system the e-mail template :
/system/workplace/templates/urlcheckform

For instance, call it  :
/system/workplace/templates/urlcheckform_de

3) Edit the new e-mail template data written into square brackets.
<![CDATA[]]>

4) Open the registry.xml of your OpenCms instance. On a Tomcat server, 
it is located in the folder :
$CATALINA_HOME/webapps/opencms/WEB-INF/config/

Edit the following tags :

<registry>
    <system>
...
    <!-- In every cases, modify the lines below -->
    <smtpserver>smtp.yourhost.net</smtpserver>
        <smtpserver2></smtpserver2>
        <defaultmailsender>admin at yourhost.net</defaultmailsender>
    <!-- If you choose the parameter email, modify the lines below -->
        <checklink>
            <mailfrom>admin at yourhost.net</mailfrom>
            <mailto>webmaster at yourhost.net</mailto>
            
<mailtemplate>/system/workplace/templates/urlcheckform_de</mailtemplate>
        </checklink>
...
    </system>
</registry>

Save your registry.xml.

5) Check the owner e-mail address of your web site pages.

6) Restart Your application Server.

7) Actually, the Check external links is just a monitor to see the log 
of the scheduled task. The result of the analysis is displayed in the 
"Check External Links" module.
