linkit 7.x-2.0-beta1

Please note: uninstall Linkit 7.x-1.x before installing 7.x-2.x. We don't use update hooks, since there are so big differences between 7.x-1.x and 7.x-2.x.

List of new features:

• Settings are now handled by profiles, similar to the profiles of the WYSIWYG module. A profile contains settings and can be assigned to Drupal roles. Thus, it is possible to customize the behavior of Linkit in detail. (This requires ctools)
• Since Drupal's own autocomplete was not enough, we developed our own Better Autocomplete which provides a rich autocomplete experience. It is GPL and bundled with Linkit 7.x-2.x.
• Works without Pathologic, (However, Pathologic is recommended for portability between environments and URL alias generation)
• External links. If you paste an external URL, Linkit will check that the URL is not broken. (Can be turned off)
• Internal absolute URL:s converts automatically into drupal paths, very simple for users who are used to copy-pasting.
• No more popups, the Linkit dashboard is now handled with a dialog UI.
• More settings, for even more flexible customization. One cool feature is thumbnails and dimenstions next to images in the autocomplete results list.
• Tested to work in multiple server environments, e.g. without clean URL:s, Drupal installation in a subdirectory or on a different port, with i18n (work in progress).
• Support for FCKeditor has discontinued

Our new robust and flexible API

• makes it easy for developers to extend Linkit with custom plugins. Example implementations included.
• has support for altering db querys, using tags.
• makes it possible to add HTML attributes to links (or alter existing attributes' interface)

The only feature not yet implemented which we want in the 2.x stable release is multilingual link support. We will work hard to get this working.
