Issue Summary
It seems like this should be an easy thing to do; maybe I'm missing something. How do I remove/disable a phrase?
Comments
#1
Same problem here, can't remove/delete automated freelinks and they won't disappear even if I deactivate the module. What am I doing wrong?
#2
Bump.
I ran into the same issue. Ignored it for a while but it really interferes with the work process of my users because now there are too many uncreated Freelinks which actually do not even need creation.
(I worsened the problem because I played around with the conversion of spaces into "-" or "_". Bad idea, as all the "old" varations now clutter up the Freelinking Creation queue: B.A.D. -> B-D -> B_D -> B-A-D -> B_A_D and so on.)
Does anyone know a solution for this? Thanks a lot in advance.
#3
Till the developer add a delete function, you can delete freelinks from the drupal database. They are in the "freelinking" table.

@ sersim - tx a lot, of course - will do.
And yes, "Delete" would be great function.
One more thought: I believe the necessity for "Delete" only arises after an administrator decides to change the Freelinking parsing behaviour ... maybe that's something to consider too, ie checking for changed paths before/after.

I think I posted on another thread regarding this but I have the same problem, it seems silly that as an "Admin" you cannot go through and selectively delete items from the freelink table. You would think that during the course of design and implementation that this would have been a "no brainer".. Is there no one with some coding skills that can create a patch or can the creator of the module somehow fix this grievous error and oversight?..
I also know that the first thing people do when installing a module is to play with it.. trying to free link asdf, adads, or other erronous garbage terms to get a feel for the module.. Now that it's figured out and ready for implementation I have all these garbage links in the table.
Or those times that you are trying to freelink to content but make a spelling oops and end up with a "create this content" in the table and when you fix it you get the correct content under it..
example... trying to freelink "dog behavior" but I goof and type "dogs behavior" in the brackets to free link and hit publish.. I notice my error and go back to fix it and now I have to items in the table..
One that says "dogs behavior" create this content and one below it that says "dog behavior" view this content.. it's confusing and stupid not to be able to simply delete the erronous item from the table..
#8
You can delete links you don't want in PHPMyAdmin. There's no UI for this right now on Drupal.
#9
Precisely, that is the point.. that there is no UI for it in Drupal.. I'm aware that I could go php admin and delete it from the table.. but this is like saying that I would need to go into php admin to delete specific content from a node, or to delete a taxonomy term.. it' just don't make sense.... it should have been and should be a simple and standard part of the module and should have been considered a basic operations and user functionality feature.
#10
I believe I saw this already discussed somewhere else so this should be a dupe thread. But it won't be until someone gets that node...
But, I believe the admin of this module mentioned that this already a feature request being worked on. At this moment, the only way is to manually delete from DB tables.
#11
fyi ... my friendly neighbourhood co-worker spiderman ...
rolled out a patch ...

:)
#12
I believe thats for 5.x though. Will it work for 6.x?
#13
Fixed in freelinking-6.x-1.5.
Ported spiderman's patch (#120540: Clean up the freelinking overview table of deleted links) to 6.x. Thanks, spiderman!
