The current D7 version has been changed to use the Field API to add and maintain extra fields related to its content type.

You're welcome.

As of current I 'only' implemented this for the taxonomy term reference and the body field. I think at the moment the conversion is not needed for the 'url' field. Or what do you think?

I would be tempted to do it for all fields, which is one reason why I didn't have a D7 version.

I don't see this as a priority item. We should keep it on the TODO list for a later time, perhaps after an initial release.

Hi,
I think "url"field is needed also. This is the essential value adding of this module, right?
Greetings, Martijn

Sure, but the 'url' field is still there.

The discussion in this issue is about how to manage the field. In the current implementation the 'url' field is managed directly by the Web Links module (as in the D6 vesion) rather than through the Drupal Field API (a new feature available in D7). But so far this not a big disadvantage, the 'url' can be tokenized and can be used in Views. So its content can be used and displayed in various ways.
