Title: link dont convert » links dont convert

Is there any progress on this? ... kind of makes the module useless if links don't translate. I would fix it, but I'm not that smart:)

I believe the error is somewhere in the following chunk of code:

elseif ($field['type'] == "link") {
$value = $field_values[0]['url'] . " ; " . $field_values[0]['title'];

I've read that the "link" field in drupal 7 is called "link_field" but even after making this change, the problem is not solved. Maybe someone knows where to go from here?

I have no idea, but I am in DIRE need of this to be fixed! ... it's probably something simple. I can't believe more people aren't reporting the problem...

I now see that when I click on "convert" it says the current value for my link field is ";" which is not true. I go back and edit the original document to be converted and the links are saved just fine.

The dev version of 7.x contains a fix for the link module, or if you prefer you can apply the attached patch.

I haven't thoroughly tested it yet, but a simple conversion of a node type containing a link, to another node type containing a link seems to work.
