Link Management

Does Alfresco WCM support Link Management.

Link Management (also known as Content Relationship Engine or Permalink Support by some wcm's) adds the capability that no dead links could appear on a site, if referenced documents and links from a page have been moved (renamed).

WCM'S which support Link Management reference resources via id's (uuid's).


Use Case:

An Editor renames a document or html page which has been linked /  referenced form other html pages. The links of those pages which have a reference to this page will remain intact and don't get corrupted (dead links).

On deletion of documents and other resources which have been referenced from other pages, the user will be informed that some documents would get dead links. A list of all documents which would have dead links will be shown to the user (dead links report).

Some WCM'S provide Internal and External Links (e.g. external internet links) Checking tools for webmasters and end users.

I created a non structured simple html page (no form) and wrote:

This link will get corrupted?

–> the corrupted word had a link to alfresco.log (absoult URI to alfreso.log in the same space, which was uploaded to the WCM Test Space on my Enterpise Trial), I created a copy from alfresco log (because I didn't found any way to rename this log file) , then I deleted the alfresco.log, the link above didn't get corrupted and had a link to alfresco.log, instead to Copy of alfresco.log), amaizing 😉

But after changing some details in the html document I got the following error, as I tried to launch the "corrupted" link:
