Exclude link targets

As described in the Glossary we differentiate between the link source and the link target. The link target is the target of a link, it may be an external URL or a target page in your TYPO3 site.

"Excluded link targets" (or "exclusions") are targets which have been permanently excluded from link checking. The reason for doing this is usually that brofix cannot correctly determine the state of the link target and falsely detects it as broken ("false positive"). Without any action to prevent this, the "false" broken links would always appear in the broken link list which severely impedes working with the broken link list as editor.

A solution for this is to permanently add the link targets to the list of excluded link targets. Links with this link target will no longer be checked and the broken links already detected will immediately be removed from the internal list which brofix uses to display broken links.

Excluding link targets

In the module "Check links" the action button "Permanently exclude ..." appears for every broken link record.

This is only available for external link targets by default, but can be configured differently.

As soon as the button is clicked, an edit dialog appears which makes it possible to select a "reason" and add additional notes.

Once you press save, all broken link records stored in brofix for this link target will be removed and the broken links will no longer be displayed in the list of broken links.

Important

The link targets in the list will no longer be checked by brofix.

Manage exclusions module

The management of broken links excluded is done in the module "Manage exclusions" which is a submodule of "Check Links".

This module allows you to list the excluded link targets using the provided filters.

The following functionality is available:

  • List and filter the excluded link targets
  • Select exclude link targets and delete them
  • Export excluded link targets as CSV file
  • Previous
  • Next

Copy and freely share the link

This link target has no permanent anchor assigned. You can make a pull request on GitHub to suggest an anchor. The link below can be used, but is prone to change if the page gets moved.

Copy this link into your TYPO3 manual.
