For more information on how to load the plugin, please refer to the [Cookbook](https://book.cakephp.org/4.0/en/plugins.html#loading-a-plugin). Simply, you can execute the shell command to enable the plugin: ``` bin/cake plugin load LinkScanner ``` This would update your application's bootstrap method. ### Installation on older CakePHP and PHP versions [](#installation-on-older-cakephp-and-php-versions) Recent packages and the master branch require at least CakePHP 5.0 and PHP 8.1 and the current development of the code is based on these and later versions of CakePHP and PHP. However, there are still some branches compatible with previous versions of CakePHP and PHP. #### For PHP 7.4 and CakePHP 4.3 or later [](#for-php-74-and-cakephp-43-or-later) The [php7.4](https://github.com/mirko-pagliai/cakephp-link-scanner/tree/php7.4) branch requires at least PHP `>=7.4` and CakePHP `^4.3`. In this case, you can install the package as well: ``` $ composer require --prefer-dist mirko-pagliai/cakephp-link-scanner:dev-php7.4 ``` Note that the `php7.4` branch will no longer be updated as of January 7, 2024, except for security patches, and it matches the [1.1.18](https://github.com/mirko-pagliai/cakephp-link-scanner/releases/tag/1.1.18) version. #### For PHP 7.2 or later [](#for-php-72-or-later) The [php7.2](https://github.com/mirko-pagliai/cakephp-link-scanner/tree/php7.2) branch requires at least PHP 7.2. In this case, you can install the package as well: ``` $ composer require --prefer-dist mirko-pagliai/cakephp-link-scanner:dev-php7.2 ``` Note that the `php7.2` branch will no longer be updated as of May 3, 2022, except for security patches, and it matches the [1.1.11](https://github.com/mirko-pagliai/cakephp-link-scanner/releases/tag/1.1.11) version. #### For PHP 5.6 and CakePHP 3 or later [](#for-php-56-and-cakephp-3-or-later) The [cakephp3](//github.com/mirko-pagliai/cakephp-link-scanner/tree/cakephp3) branch requires at least PHP 5.6 and CakePHP 3. In this case, you can install the package as well: ``` $ composer require --prefer-dist mirko-pagliai/cakephp-link-scanner:dev-cakephp3 ``` Note that the `cakephp3` branch will no longer be updated as of May 7, 2021, except for security patches, and it matches the [1.1.6](//github.com/mirko-pagliai/cakephp-link-scanner/releases/tag/1.1.6) version. Configuration ------------- [](#configuration) It's not essential, but it may be useful to set the `App.fullBaseUrl` value correctly [refer to the Cookbook](https://book.cakephp.org/4.0/en/development/configuration.html#general-configuration), especially if you plan to use the plugin mainly on your app, so as not to have to indicate the full base url which to start the scan every time. How to use ---------- [](#how-to-use) Please, refer to the wiki: - [How to use the LinkScanner utility](https://github.com/mirko-pagliai/cakephp-link-scanner/wiki/How-to-use-the-LinkScanner-utility) - [How to use the LinkScannerCommand](https://github.com/mirko-pagliai/cakephp-link-scanner/wiki/How-to-use-the-LinkScannerCommand) - [Examples for ResultScan](https://github.com/mirko-pagliai/cakephp-link-scanner/wiki/Examples-for-ResultScan) In addition, you can refer to our [API](https://mirko-pagliai.github.io/cakephp-link-scanner). To do list ---------- [](#to-do-list) - allow the use of a configuration file for the shell; - allow to export results as html and/or xml. Versioning ---------- [](#versioning) For transparency and insight into our release cycle and to maintain backward compatibility, *Assets* will be maintained under the [Semantic Versioning guidelines](https://semver.org). ### Health Score 37 — LowBetter than 83% of packages Maintenance23 Infrequent updates — may be unmaintained Popularity19 Limited adoption so far Community7 Small or concentrated contributor base Maturity82 Battle-tested with a long release history Bus Factor1 Top contributor holds 100% of commits — single point of failure How is this calculated?**Maintenance (25%)** — Last commit recency, latest release date, and issue-to-star ratio.
