{link-validator}
Plugin: Link Validator Plugin
Checks the provided link to determine if it is a valid location.
Description
By default, the final status message is available by hovering your mouse over the icon. If you wish to have it displayed on the page directly, specify verbose=true when using the macro.
Usage
{link-validator:url=http://address}{link-validator}
{link-validator}http://address{link-validator}
Parameters
| Name | Required | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| [default]/url | | The URL to validate. This may alternately be the body of the macro, which allows the URL to be generated by other macros. | |
| verbose | | false
| If true, the status message will be displayed as text on the page. Otherwise, it is available by hovering the mouse over the status icon. |
| timeout | | 5
| The timeout for each request. If a request fails it is retried two additional times to make sure, which means that the actual wait time for a non-responsive URL is timeout X 3. |
