SilverStripe LinkField addon

Alright folks, so here is the SilverStripe addon of the month:
https://github.com/sheadawson/silverstripe-linkable

Its the missing LinkField, you might look for.
There are some more addons for a LinkField out there, but this one is the best.
No wonder, the author is SilverStripe employee.

It features:

  • external links
  • link validation
  • link a page from your site
  • link a file from your assets
  • oEmbed links
  • the addon is translated, currently only for german, but add your own, its easy!

Handling in the backend is very comfortable as you can see here:

It took me some time to evaluate all LinkField addons and to find the right one, so maybe it saves you some time.
