[](#technical-instructions)

### Test links

[](#test-links)

If you want to test a single link, or multiple links, simply call:

```
HeimrichHannot\LinkChecker\LinkChecker::test('http://www.google.de');
HeimrichHannot\LinkChecker\LinkChecker::test(array('http://www.google.de', 'http://www.twitter.com'));

```

### Back end widget / field

[](#back-end-widget--field)

In back end mode there is a widget available called `linkChecker`; Provide a valid `load_callback` within you DataContainer field configuration.

```
//tl_sample.php

'linkChecker'       => array(
	'label'         => &$GLOBALS['TL_LANG']['tl_sample']['linkChecker'],
	'inputType'     => 'linkChecker',
	'load_callback' => array(
		array('MyClass', 'getLinkCheckerHtml'),
	),
),

```

You can return html-code with anchor tags, a single link or an array of links within your `load_callback`.

```
// MyClass

public function getLinkCheckerHtml($varValue, \DataContainer $dc)
{
	return 'Google'
}

```
