Deadlinks plugin for Craft CMS
==============================

[](#deadlinks-plugin-for-craft-cms)

**Fight link rot by automatically redirecting broken links to their archived versions**.

When a user clicks on a broken external link, they will see a confirmation screen which lets them visit an archived version in the Internet Archive Wayback Machine if available.

The confirmation screen uses a neutral design, but you can can specify your own template if you prefer.

Requirements
------------

[](#requirements)

This plugin requires Craft CMS `5.3.0` or later.

Craft must be set to [run queue jobs automatically](https://craftcms.com/docs/5.x/reference/config/general.html#runqueueautomatically).

The plugin needs to make a call to the free [Wayback API](https://archive.org/developers/_static/test-wayback.html) at the address `https://archive.org/wayback/available` in case you need to whitelist this on your host.

Installation
------------

[](#installation)

To install the plugin, follow these instructions:

```
composer require "simplygoodwork/craft-deadlinks:^1.0.0" -w && php craft plugin/install deadlinks

```

for DDEV users:

```
ddev composer require "simplygoodwork/craft-deadlinks:^1.0.0" -w && ddev craft plugin/install deadlinks

```

Settings
--------

[](#settings)

You must [set Craft’s queue to run automatically](https://craftcms.com/docs/5.x/reference/config/general.html#runqueueautomatically)

Other than that, there’s nothing to configure.

Optional: use a custom confirmation screen
------------------------------------------

[](#optional-use-a-custom-confirmation-screen)

If you want to use a custom confirmation screen, create a `/config/deadlinks.php` file and set `confirmationTemplate` to point to a .twig template (relative to your `/templates/` folder)
