Installation

composer require purplespider/silverstripe-page-type-status-checker

Usage

Browser (Recommended)

Visit /dev/tasks/check-page-type-statuses in your browser while logged in as admin.

Click "Check Links & Actions" to check all links including controller actions, or "Check Links Only" for a faster check of just the main pages.

The task will display:

• Page type names with counts (live + draft)
• CMS edit form links with status codes
• Frontend links with status codes
• Controller actions with status codes (if $allowed_actions defined)
• Form detection indicators
• Example page titles and URLs

CLI

vendor/bin/sake tasks:check-page-type-statuses

The CLI output shows a simplified list of all page types with their CMS and frontend URLs.
