The vocabulary that I have defined for userlink nodes has multiple levels of terms; parent terms and child terms. When I view link categories, I see a flat list of all category terms in the vocabulary rather than a tree-like structure reflective of the parents and children.

Is it possible to display the userlink categories in a tree-like fashion?

Thank you for developing this module.

I wonder if there isn't another contributed module that would provide a similar look and feel? Or if there is some way to do this with Views... Userlinks are just simple nodes -- the listing on userlink/all (which, I think is what you are talking about) should be easy to replicate for any node type, or across node types...

Any ideas on how to get this done without coding it into userlink? I'm leaning towards stripping presentation code out of userlink and pushing it into Views or another contrib module. All ideas are welcome!

I found that I could use the Views module to build my links listing page. The View that I created uses arguments so that I can pass the taxonomy term number to the view. I then used the core Menu module to build a collapsable tree-like menu of the various categories that I'm using for links. Each menu item calls my links view and passes the category term to it. It's not an automatic process because whenever I add a term to the links vocabulary, I'll have to update the menu, but this gets me to where I want to be.

Also, I decided to switch to the Janode module for my links because it has the automatic link checking feature.

It'd be great if the various developers of links modules could pool their efforts to build a killer links module. I know users have complained about Drupal's lack of a core links module and I understand the explanation for why it hasn't been done, but I still think this is a functionality that Drupal site developers are looking for.
