Hi Roopesh, without knowing your information architecture and setup exactly... I would say that the out of the box settings do validation that hyperlinks land within your (super-)publication.

Perhaps test with a small publicaiton holding a map and two topics that hyperlink (not xref scope external because you cannot validate the internet over time) to one another.

Hi Dave,

I have a plugin mechanism to validate hyerlink. But user sometime skip this and they will do the html deployment to the website. So the end user will get a broken link. To avoid this, I want to check this during the html deployment using the post process plugin.

Thanks

Hi Roopesh,

If you have a separate function that will verify any type of hyperlink, you can make the process fail by throwing an error in your plugin.
This error will be caught by the publishing framework and the publishing process will be stopped with the status set to Failed.

This is also described on the following page in the documentation portal:
https://docs.sdl.com/LiveContent/content/en-US/SDL%20Tridion%20Docs-v2.1.1/GUID-6B34A50E-597A-4AF3-92CB-65B63ADB0843

Hi,

Thank you for your suggestion, I will try that option. before that i have a question here. Is there any mechanism similar to DraftWhenInvalidHyperlink ,  that set the  publishing status fail by setting a parameter like below in publish plugin?

<parameter name='FailWhenInvalidHyperlink'>yes</parameter>
