Description
I just tried to add an "backlinks" block to my site; I activated "provide block", added the new block to my site, and browsed to a node with backlinks (which were displayed on the "What links here" tab) - but no block did appear. I checked access permissionsat admin/user, and in the view's configuration, but the block should be visible; I also checked he block's configuration itself at admin/build/block, but there seems to be nothing preventing the block to show up.
Surely I missed something, but what?
Thanks & regards,

I just checked in a new version of backlinks.module which comes bundled with a backlinks_block view. by default it displays a list of node title links. Please try it out and see if it works for you.
Note, you may need to clear out all your caches to get it to show up in admin/build/views (by truncating all the cache tables or using the devel module).

Thanks, but sorry, no luck for me with the new version.

It showed up without doing that, but I cleared the cache anyway with the "devel" module's block.
Maybe you better wait for someone else's comment on this who has better understanding for Views; I'm afraid, the complexity of this module is far beyond my scope. I just installed the "backlinks" view on two other Drupal sites and translated the UI as you explained in http://drupal.org/node/161790. The result is, that
* in one site, no backlinks are displayed at all anymore,
* in one other site, backlinks are displayed in the "What links here tab" tab, but in the actual node, no hyperlinks appear anymore, neither internal nor external (just one node I edited after installing the "backlinks" module, the other nodes remain fine; maybe it doesn't like my default input filter, the PEAR wiki filter with MediaWiki syntax).
However, first I'll have to figure out what was going wrong before I try the backlinks block on these sites (disappearing hyperlinks... pretty frightening)

Did you turn on the backlinks block for the new "backlinks_block" view at admin/build/block? Just checking because it won't be on by default..
Not sure what you mean by "Thanks, but sorry, no luck for me with the new version." If you can, let me know what doesn't work and how it doesn't work, so I can look into it :)

Please see http://drupal.org/node/161943, I'm simply scared by this module at the moment.

I'm setting this to fixed since the current dev version now has a backlinks block.
If you have further issues with that you can re-open.
