HtmlCrossReferenceAuditor

Added in v5.6.6.

The HtmlCrossReferenceAuditor compares HTML elements within the same page. You can use HtmlCrossReferenceAuditor to compare the meta keywords to page title or meta description.

The auditor uses jsoup queries to parse and find HTML elements. These queries have a jQuery or CSS like syntax.

HtmlCrossReferenceAuditor uses two jsoup queries:

A source query to retrieve some text
A reference query to retrieve one or HTML elements to be checked against the source text

The source query also has a regular expression to extract the source text. The reference query also has a regular expression that checks the matched references; if the references match the regular expression, the audit is passed.

Here’s a quick example:

source query (sourceQuery): meta[name="keywords"]

A jsoup query to find the meta keywords element in a page.

source pattern (sourcePattern): .+content="([^,]+),.+

A regular expression to search the meta keywords element found by the source query and match the first keyword as match group 1.

The source query and the source pattern will get the first keyword defined in the meta keywords element.

reference query (referenceQuery): meta[name="description"]

A jsoup query will find the meta description in a page.

reference pattern (referencePattern):

A regular expression to check that the keyword found by the source query and pattern appears in the content attribute of the meta description.

Suppose the meta keywords element of the page is:

<meta name="keywords" content="beach,resort,island" />

The result of the source query and pattern is "beach". The result "beach" will be replaced in the reference pattern and applied to meta description content. If "beach" is found, the audit is passed, if not, the audit fails.

Properties

In addition to the common auditor properties, this auditor can be configured with the following properties:

Property Description

level

required

Determines how a failed audit will be counted:

Error (auditErrors)
Warning (auditWarnings)
Note (auditNotes)

auditProperty

required

Defines the property name for storing failed audit results.

The property name should be unique among auditors or auditors may overwrite results.

auditValue

required

Defines a message or explanation for a failed audit.

The message can have placeholders that are replaced with information about the node and auditor:

0 - the source text found by sourceQuery and sourcePattern
1 - the reference text found by referenceQuery

sourceQuery

required

A valid jsoup query. See this cookbook for more on jsoup queries.

sourceText

optional

Controls whether the source pattern will be applied to the HTML element found by sourceQuery (when set to false) or the text of the HTML element (when set to true).

sourcePattern

required

A valid Java regular expression.

You can use match groups in the regular expression.

sourceFlags

optional

Match flags, as defined by java.util.regex.Pattern.

The value must be a bit mask that may include Pattern.CASE_INSENSITIVE, Pattern.MULTILINE, Pattern.DOTALL, Pattern.UNICODE_CASE, Pattern.CANON_EQ, Pattern.UNIX_LINES, Pattern.LITERAL, Pattern.UNICODE_CHARACTER_CLASS and Pattern.COMMENTS.

sourceGroup

optional

The index of the match group to use as source text.

If not specified or set to 0, the entire matching text of sourcePattern will be used.

referenceQuery

required

A valid jsoup query. See this cookbook for more on jsoup queries.

The result of the reference query will be compared to the source query by the referencePattern.

referenceText

optional

Controls whether the reference pattern will be applied to the HTML element found by referenceQuery (when set to false) or the text of the HTML element (when set to true).

referencePattern

required

A valid Java regular expression.

The referencePattern can have placeholders that are replaced by the source text found by sourceQuery and sourcePattern:

0 - the source text

The source text is substituted into the reference pattern before the reference pattern is applied to the reference text. You should wrap brackets in your referencePattern regular expression in single quotes to prevent them being interpreted as a placeholder.

referenceFlags

optional

fetcher

required

Defines the content fetcher for the selected node. The query is then applied to the fetched content.

There are two types of content fetchers available.

Example

Here is an example from the SEO module. You can find this configuration here: /modules/seo/config/auditManager/auditors/titleRendered

checkMetadescriptionKeyword:
  auditProperty: checkMetadescriptionKeyword
  auditValue: The main keyword {0} is not used in the page metadescription
  class: info.magnolia.services.seo.audit.impl.HtmlCrossReferenceAuditor
  description: Check if the main keyword is used in the metadescription (pre-prod)
  level: auditWarnings
  referenceFlags: 2
  referencePattern: <meta name="description" content=".'{'0,'}'{0}.'{'0,'}'">
  referenceQuery: meta[name="description"]
  sourceGroup: 1
  sourcePattern: .+content="([^,]+),.+
  sourceQuery: meta[name="keywords"]
  fetcher:
    class: info.magnolia.services.seo.audit.impl.RequestFetcher
    targets:
      localhost:
        class: info.magnolia.services.seo.audit.impl.HostTarget
        host: localhost
        password: superuser
        port: 8080
        scheme: http
