I do run Andys error jump plug-in. It is brilliant and saves a lot of donkey work on the site. As Andy points out, it sends the admin an email stating what the problem is, and, the link number then and refers the unlucky user to an error page. It simply is a script that saves the need to have users refer a bad link to admin, which most possibly will not.

Hi Paul,

thanks for your comments!

1.) VerifyMail doesn't need a user, who reports a bad link because the plugin grabbs the results from nph-verify.pl (Admin->Database->Verify Links/Link Status) which you can run manually or by cron

2.) It sends out an eMail to the LinkOwner(Contact_Email) with the LinkID, Link-Title and the Error-Code/-Description (this eMail is template-driven so you can customize it to your needs)

At the current version the eMails are not send by cron but you have the choice to send the eMails to all error-links/-pages at once (link in Plugin admin "Send alert-message to all") or one by one manually.

For my uses I've set up nph-verify.pl as a cron job to check every link in my database every seven days at night. The only thing I have to do manually is to click on the link "send alert-message to all" once a day if there are error-links in the list.

Regards,
Manu
