It doesn't work as-is and I don't see an update. I read the page on converting 4.5 modules to 4.6, and I think I know what the problem is, considering my error.

The functions node_access_join_sql() and node_access_where_sql() should not be used any more but the SELECT-queries should be wrapped in a db_rewrite_sql() call.

Well, this module is using node_access_join_sql(). Problem is, I'm a PHP n00b, and don't know how to make the change. Has anyone else done this?

All I want is a simple "blogroll" that's not restricted to "blogs" on my web site. I realize this is a community tool, but I'm using it as a glorified weblog/cms system, so don't like how the blogroll module does it... not to mention the fact I can't add any links in the blogroll module because I don't have any blogs configured.

Thanks for any guidance.

Had a similar issue that was resolved by upgrading Weblink to a version from CVS

http://drupal.org/files/projects/weblink-cvs.tar.gz

This version added a few fields I didn't want/need, but they were quickly dealt with.

Thank you SO much for such a quick reply. I appreciate it!

I looked in the CVS repository but didn't see how to download a more recent version. Still learning this whole thing. :)

Thanks again.

On the downloads page, select the tab labeled cvs. This is generally the latest development version. Test first before blindly applying to your site though. Also, please provide feedback on any isse's, bugs through that projects issue tracker. Please also check to see if anyone else reported it already.

... and I'm still getting issues. Ah well. I may just have to make a "blogroll" manually. :(

You could always look at the blockroll code and see if you could modify it to be more flexible instead. (and put a patch together to update it to 4.6 as well :)

Is there some alternative solution to weblink module? I just need to maintain list of links organized into categories? Would flexinode do the job? I need something, that will be available in future releases of Drupal.

The CVS log for weblink says it's ready for 4.6.0. The snag about using flexinode for links is that the URLs aren't turned into hyperlinks in normal textfields, you need to use textareas.
