Validate External Links For A Space

This recipe generates a list of outgoing links in all pages and news within a given space, using the link validator plugin to check if each link is valid.

Description

Keeping the integrity of all outgoing links within a space can be tedious, going to every page and clicking on each link to see if they are still valid, this recipe should help keep track of all of the outgoing links in 1 page.

Ingredients

First, we start the report block.
```
{report-block}
```
Next, we create a reporter which will grab all pages within the current space.
```
{content-reporter:types=page,news,comment}
{content-reporter}
```

Next, we report on every outgoing link within each page, using an inner report-table.

{report-body}
h2. {report-info:content:title|link=true}

{report-table:injected=true}

We grab the list of 'outgoing links':

{local-reporter:content:outgoing links}

Then output the URL being checked, and the link-validator to check it with.

{report-column:title=URL}%url%{report-column}
{report-column:title=Valid}{link-validator:url=%url%|timeout=30}{report-column}

A friendly message for empty pages.

{report-empty}_No external links on this page._{report-empty}

Close out the report-table.
```
{report-table}
```

Lastly, we close the report.

{report-on}
{report-body}
{report-block}

{report-block}
{content-reporter:types=page,news,comment}
{content-reporter}
{report-body}
h2. {report-info:content:title|link=true}

{report-table:injected=true}
{local-reporter:content:outgoing links}
{report-column:title=URL}%url%{report-column}
{report-column:title=Valid}{link-validator:url=%url%|timeout=30}{report-column}

{report-empty}_No external links on this page._{report-empty}

{report-table}
{report-body}
{report-block}
