The requirements are the following:
- We have thousand of rich text components which has URL references to external pages

Should I say anything? The code explains itself 😊

, but what “available” means in this context?
A year ago I have posted about how to create template dependent field validator with rules engine. But it requires too many modifications, so I have decided to write this post about how to do the similar functionality without rules engine.
So at first I have implemented a base class which should be used by all validators which want to be dependent on a template or a base template. This class does the following steps:
