collective.validator

A web validator for plone pages

Project Description

What is it?

collective.validator is a web validator for Plone 3. It validates all the pages in a plone site.

You can get a full validation of the entire portal or limited to a subset of types. When the validator finishes you will get a report which is saved inside the configuration area. 

It is also possible validate a single page by clicking on "validate XHTML some_validator" link at the bottom, if the page belongs to the selected types.

An other functionality is the remote validation. It allows to run a validation of the site using "url_of_the_site/remote_validator". This functionality can be used for example if you want to schedule a periodical validation with programs like "cron".

collective.validator.base is a base-tool that lets you set some option fields but that needs plugin-packages to do the effective validation:

• collective.validator.css
• collective.validator.xhtmlStrict
• collective.validator.xhtmlTransitional

Each plugin allows to set a different type of validation (like CSS, XHTML Strict or Transitional). Every package has some tests and is translated in italian.

Configuration

You can use both eggs from pypi or download the source from collective.

Once installed the package with quick installer, you can see it and set its fields in site setup->additional products. In the configuration site there is the product configuration where you can find both the report list of validations, or configure the tool.
