worksheet links can become stale or unavailable and should be manually fixed

[NyakudyaA]

Problem

All lessons have further reading sections where we put links. When the links become unavailable the reading section becomes stale.

Solution

I suggest a little tool or script that basically generates all invalid links in a PDF/text file like

The following links are unavailable
https://changelog.qgis.org/en/qgis/lesson/symbology-22/detail/81/?q=3.1 has invalid links or unavailable links:
* http://foo.bar.txt

Or just saying

The following sections have invalid links
https://changelog.qgis.org/en/qgis/lesson/symbology-22/detail/81/?q=3.1
https://changelog.qgis.org/en/qgis/lesson/symbology-22/detail/167/?q=3.3

This tool can be run per need and should ideally be visible to the lessons manager.

Use case: Before each training session, we run the tool and manually fix the links in the respective sections

The tool doesn't seem to be working on the deployed instance @sumandari

Hi @NyakudyaA, When I run it on my local machine, the function will take about 10minutes to return the value. I have discussed it with @lucernae, it seems the time for waiting the return is not feasible to make it as an html endpoint. We might create a job to call this function. cc @dimasciput
