weblinks.weight.inc stores all contributions in sticky 100 and -100 [#2148005]

I would like to refer also my error message of this post Forum topic are in the database column is stored with Sticky "-100".

I have long wanted what caused this and am on the file weblinks.weight.inc. one can rewrite the error or the file?

I now had the Module Disable, and everything works as intended. If I activate it again, sticky is stored with 100 or -100.

would be grateful for a solution. Want reluctant to give up the modules

Sorry for my Bad English

This was implemented as a feature in earlier versions of Web Links and is still available in the D7 version. The intended purpose is to order Web Links content by a given weight.

To disable this behaviour you can install and enable the Weight module. See also #2130773: where is weight stored?.

@Nancy: should we in fact remove the Web Links weight feature now? Or document the side effects?

Yes, I wanted to yank it out not long after I put it in. There is no hope of it working in D8 because the sticky field is probably going away.

@fugazi: Storing the weight in the sticky field is a technique that was developed a long time ago. It was pretty much the best we could do before Drupal 7. Now it would be far better to add a field and use Views to sort and display the links.
