Installation & Getting Started

Installation is as any other Joomla package.

Currently, Curl is used to checking the links. So curl must be available.

After a first time installing of the package, the main component, the plugins (content and system) and the admin pseudo cron should be enabled and a token for the cron jobs should be created.

The the admin pseudo cron should be starting extracting and checking links. Visit the Setup & Maintenance Page to see an overview of the found links. 

The link validation has two steps. One is extracting links from the content, the second is checking the links. 

  • The extract link will fetch text and link fields, depending on the used BLC plugins and extract links.
  • The check will check the links.

Fixing and changing links is in the on the View & Fix Links Page.

Next step would be to set up Cron Jobs, links can be found on the Setup & Maintenance Page

Depending on the content you might additional plugins to extract links from categories, custom html modules or other extensions.
