Custom Rewrite Element entries are not working in CQ Link Checker Transformer Config

[Jerome_Lesly_v]

Hi Everyone,

             I have added some more custom rewrite element entries[highlighted one in snap] apart from OOTB entries in CQ Link Checker Transformer Configuration. However it's not working which is working only for OOTB entry i.e a:href, img:src.

Also If I add custom entries for anchor tag like a:id, a:data-test then it's working. I have refered all the related references in community & outside sources but nothing helped me. Can you people help me on this? Thanks in advance.

Hi @Jerome_Lesly_v  I tried checking this on my local and I observed the same behaviour. I tried digging into OOB code and it seems it only checks for <a> and <area> tags only.

I didn't check it in detail but this seems rather strange as I also couldn't find any documentation mentioning this. But depending on your use case if you want to just map your URLs then you can look into this https://adobe-consulting-services.github.io/acs-aem-commons/features/utils-and-apis/resource-resolve... otherwise creating a custom transformer would be the possible option.
Hope this helps
