Comments on links report

(autjoe) #1

Hi there,

We have generated a link report, which have the following comment on some images, not quite sure what does it mean, and all the images are working fine on the page.

"Link points to valid asset, but the anchor ":v4" does not exist"

Also is there any way to exclude the relative links from the links report?

e.g. "link to /timetable  comments: The URL is missing a protocol"

 

Thanks.

That is for an image variety. Have you linked that somewhere?

Yes, I think it was using the variety (v4) of the image (assetid:v4) in the page, which will need to be ignored in the report.

Just wondering if there is any way to exclude the relative links (which are working on page) from the links report?

e.g. "link to      /timetable             comments: The URL is missing a protocol"

 

Thanks

No, I don't see a way to do this. Do you have a reason to be using relative links? Can you change those to absolute?

Spider with something like Xenu's link sleuth instead?

 

Although matrix's link report does have some advantages I've never been a big fan.

Is there a A glossary for the meaning of all the comments in the Links Report?

 

Thanks.
