Hi,

Love your module but have a concern : why related_links don't use the weblink system ? It could be nice to present all (or some of) the related links added in nodes in a central place like the weblink view.

Could you add this feature with an option in the related link UI : "add it to the weblink ?"

Regards.

Hi, derieppe

I'm not sure I understand the question completely. I apologize for being slow to respond -- I have been working very hard on the Drupal 6 port of this module and two others over the past couple of months, and am just now catching up on some of these support requests.

The related_links module does use the Links API, the same as links_weblink.module. But by design related links "are attached to nodes" whereas weblinks "are nodes". They are intended for different purposes. A related link can be attached to any type of node (you configure this in the content type administration screens). In fact, a weblink node can optionally have related links of its own, but only the weblink itself appears in the weblinks directory.

The weblink node (links_weblink.module) is intended to provide a rudimentary node type for those who just need a simple "node that represents a web link". If you want something sophisticated that spans multiple node types, then you may want to use links_related in conjunction with views.

I hope this helps. If I have misunderstood your question, please feel free to elaborate.

Kind regards,

Scott

Hi Scott,

(and Happy new year !)

My idea is to present all the links added by users (related_link associated to a node or weblink) sorted with taxonomy.
But cant find how to get all in a single view...

If you have an example to send to me it could be fine !

Regards.
