I'm running 4.6.3 and i can't get freelinking to work.
First I downloaded the 'wrong' module (because drupal said it was the 'latest version', but it was actually the 4.5-version)
Then I downloaded the 4.6-release, but it messed up my admin/module-page (apparently you forgot to close the module-file with a '?>' ).
Fixing that turned the page back to normal, and I was able to install the module and configure it.
The next step was to set the filter. What filter? I got to the filter-listing, but no 'Freelinking' was showing. I tried to add it manually, but that gave me a useless, empty, non-configurable filter. How does this work??

And what module-version is the correct one?
Thx
Arne Sansen

Actually that isn't strictly necessary for php, you can look it up in the php manual if you like. In fact drupal is adopting this for the next release, almost all drupal files will not contain ?> on the last line.

What server/php version/configuration are you using? leaving the ?> off of the end of the file does not affect it's functionality for apache.

once freelinking is installed you should see a freelinking settings page at admin/settings/freelinking. If it's not there then it's not installed properly

To set the filter up, go to the input formats menu, and select configure next to the format you wish to add the freelinking filter to. There should then be a checkbox for you to select freelinking.

Sorry, it's just that without the '?>' the admin/module-page was rendered with the entire freelinking.module raw code, and underneath that the actual page. It was only on that page, none of the others were affected, so my conclusion was that something was wrong with the freelinking-code. Adding the '?>' did away with the raw code. (btw: this only occurs in the 4.6-version of the module)

Server Version: Apache
Server Built: Aug 16 2005 22:04:07
API Version: 19990320:16
PHP: 4.4.0
(if needed i can provide the php.ini or phpinfo() )

My newbie-hood is hereby revealed: I didn't know I had to 'add' the freelink filter to an existing filter. I did and found. Thanks for the help.
The missing '?>' was just my guess, I didn't mean to question your skills. ;) But why do I get it with the freelinking.module and not with others?

I'm glad it (should) work now.
Greetings,
Arne
