More good times with Umbraco

DashRss.ascx

// Good times with Umbraco. This time with the broken link checker plug-in (http://our.umbraco.org/projects/developer-tools/broken-link-checker)
// To be fair I think these problems are mainly due to changes in Umbraco > 4.0.
//  
// I wouldn't recommend using the plugin, but I had to put in this hacky fix it for a client who wanted to use it. 
//
// Firstly it tries to download some javascript from here:
//     http://localhost:50812/umbraco/~/umbraco/plugins/FergusonMoriyama/DashRss/dashrss.js
//
// When the location of the file is:
//     http://localhost:50812/umbraco/plugins/FergusonMoriyama/DashRss/dashrss.js
//
// I don't know where that script tag gets created, inside the plugin dll? Anyway a 404 in the back office is acceptable in this situation.
//
// So I take the contents of that file and add it directly in the .ascx file which appears to be used for the admin panels the plugin creates.
// I updated the script to ensure it would be ok if ran twice (and it will, because the plugin creates two panels) and it only created one 
// global variable (sigh). 
// 
// Here is the updated DashRss.ascx, to use it unpack the plugin zip file and update DashRss.ascx with this and the plugin will at least do
// what it originally did before version 4.1 or whatever.
//
// Also I think this guy may have fixed it, but I'm not sure.
// http://our.umbraco.org/projects/developer-tools/broken-link-checker/feature-suggestions/13277-version-problem
//
// And I'm not sure if these people ever did..

// http://our.umbraco.org/projects/developer-tools/broken-link-checker/bug-reports/10015-Broken-Link-Checker-not-displaying-any-results
//
// In the mean time I will try and work out what I'm doing with my life, it wasn't meant to be like this.

<div id="<%= this.UniqueID.Replace("$", "_") %>" class="dashRss">
</div>
<script type="text/javascript">
      $(document).ready(function() {

works like charm. Thank's for that
