I have disabled, uninstall, reinstall the module, but the problem still exists. There in not any relevant log entries in "Recent log entries" either

I have enbled PDF version sub module, and set the position of the link to "Content corner" as same as "Printer-friendly pages (core)" module's.

The result is:

1. The "Printer-friendly pages" link will appear only if "Take control of the book module printer-friendly link" is selected.
2. The "PDF version" link is not affected no matter what the value of "Take control of the book module printer-friendly link" is set to

Hi,

You're trying to use print on pages which are part of a book. The book module already provides support for a printer-friendly version out-of-the-box. In order to avoid having two different printer-friendly version links, if you don't enable the 'take control' option, only the original link appears. If you do enable the option, then the LINK REMAINS THE SAME but it now uses this module. As it remains the same, it won't go to the content corner.

It's not a bug, it's the way that the system is designed to work.

Roger that, by mistake I think it is a bug because it has existed in the older version in my memory.
Now I know this is by design, thank you!

Similar to this, I cannot get content corner links to appear at all in my content types, is there something I need to enable in the content type? What is the variable in the template that prints this out? I used to have the links at the top and bottom, now they have disappeared!

Thanks
Will

Hi Will,

Try to disable all the modules, then uninstall them inside Drupal and re-enable the modules again. This should force a reset of all the configuration variables, which should (hopefully) fix your problem.

We are also running into the same problem. We have de-activated the book module. However, the print, email, and PDF links only work when "take control of book..." is checkmarked. I completely un-installed and reinstalled the print and book modules but the problem persists.
