Support for Drupal 7 is ending on 5 January 2025—it’s time to migrate to Drupal 10! Learn about the many benefits of Drupal 10 and find migration tools in our resource center.
Some of the new features coming up in the 7.x-2.0 release.
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.
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.
