Anchors are always marked with ss-broken if not using Content Field

[blueo]

The link tracking functionality marks all anchor links as broken (class ss-broken) if your content is not located on $page->Content. The logic appears to be in the parser on line 72.

silverstripe-cms/code/Model/SiteTreeLinkTracking_Parser.php

Line 72 in 019bb52

$broken = !preg_match("/(name|id)=\"{$anchor}\"/", $page->Content);

So when using something like elemental, the check always fails. Might be easier to disable to the check for anchor links - or just check the page, in these cases. This could be a config option.

The current link tracking implementation leaves a lot to be desired. We probably should have another look at it.

This is issue is related to this one #2327

This is no longer the case. The logic was updated in #2697 to use getAnchorsOnPage().
Closing this issue.
