With views being a very popular way of organising nodes for viewing it would be nice if alinks could work with the views output.

Maybe this is one for a rainy day

I find it useless to make alinks compatible with links.
This module only uses the db to store the alinks, it stores no data about nodes, node-alinks relation or anything else, and I plan to keep it that way.
If you can convince me about the use of views compatibility I will think about it.
As you can see on my other Drupal module (DrupalIt), I found the views implementation useful and I did it.

I thought from what you had mentioned in the past that alinks substitutes as the page renders, which is why i was surprised they didn't show?

As you say i dont think there should be a need to link the alinks to nodes, thats the beauty of it, just dont understand why it doesnt intercept the view

I will see what i can uop with as a convincuing argument :)

Check this link, is made using views, and alinks works. Is just the last version of alinks and views. But it worked previously too.

I have just identified the actual cause of this issue, and the reason i was not able to see links in my circumstances. Hopefully this information may help others in the same situation

Basically I wanted Alinks to link the content of CCK fields which were displayed as part of a view,

In my case the view was inserted into a node using the 'insert view' module.

Today when I upgraded 'Insert View' to 5.x-1.0 - now all links are visible

+1 subscription for this feature, let's display alinks on header/footer/empty-text of views ...... please :-)
