Related to feature request described in http://drupal.org/node/20405

* Add "owner" and the number of owned freelinks to listing of Freelinks. Anonymous authors should result in "none" as author status. Author names should be hyperlinked and open the user profile, clicking the number of owned freelinks should display the listing of freelinks owned by this author

* Provide a link to owned freelinks from the User block (ie. my freelinks)

* Provide a page for "recently changed" freelinks. Listing of freelink items, sorted on last edit time so pepple can quickly review "what's new".

And forgot an "Ophaned Pages" page, listing of freelink pages that no longer have a link to a CamelCase or [[-]] in another node.

Unfortunately, the "owner" and "owned freelinks" are impossible (afaict) to implement at the present time. I've wanted this feature myself for a while, but the Drupal filtering system has **no concept** of the node it's working on, so author, etc., are impossible to extract. The Core Developers seem unwilling to accept a patch to change this behavior, as it has been offered in the past. Search the mailing lists for the history behind this.

There may be some ways around that, but they're hacks of ugliest degree. That's not going to stop me, however. :) I may even dust off one of the old "pass $node to filter" patch and float it again.

"Recently changed" and "Orphans" seems doable. I'll get started on this.

Thanks again for your input. Your ideas are turning freelinking.module into something of great worth.

Thanks eafarris.

For clarification purposes, I guess what I meant with "owned freelinks" is ownership of the node to which a freelink refers, not to the link itself. In my specific case, I have created a node type with the flexinode module I use for wiki/freelinked content. What I think would be valuable is to be able to display a listing of freelinks based on ownership of the "freelink node type". In my case that's fairly straightforward (since I have a specific node type for freelinked content), in other cases that may be a bit more complex.
