Greetings Geoff,
Thank you for responding.
I'm new to FarCry and am on my third site with 4.0.
I'll try to clarify our issue a little better.

When an html object is deleted from the site tree, sometimes it remains in =
the
dmNavigation table.=A0 Our index page is dynamically generated, and therefo=
re, it creates
broken links.

So, yes I have discovered that when the record is manually deleted from the=
=20
dmNavigation table, and the cache is refreshed, either manually or automati=
cally,
the errant link is removed.

So, I don't know why they are still in dmNavigation after deletion.

Now I've got an issue with pending and drafts not appearing in the Overview=
 tab and not emailing upon Request Approval.=A0=20

I've checked permissions, etc and have followed the advice on the known bug=
 on the=20
getObjectsPendingApproval.cfm, (switching t_#stLocal.iCounter#.createdby, t=
_#stLocal.iCounter#.lastupdatedby)=A0 but still it doesn't work on two site=
s.

Any advice there?

And yes, we are looking at moving to v5.
We've got 4 sites running on v4.
We'd like to run one of the less visited sites on v5, will that run okay wi=
th v4 on the others on the same server?
Or is it all or nothing?

Thank you very much,
Angela

Thanks

Any navigation element that FarCry constructs will be automatically
changed as the system is updated -- including deletes.=A0 The only
exception to this are links embedded in caches ie. you'd have to wait
till the cache updated.=A0 Later versions of FarCry 5.x (latest is now
5.2) automatically refresh the cache removing this
 issue.

However, links embedded in your content will not be updated.=A0 Nor does
FarCry have any specific way of checking their validity.=A0 In more
modern versions of FarCry its pretty clever in working out where to
redirect links that may have moved or changed names.=A0 But even so hand-
crafted links are always problematic -- this is why an external link
checker like Xenu is very useful.

You suggest Xenu is not working for you in terms of reporting bad
links?=A0 What seems to be the problem there?
