Port to D6

Is there anybody out there?

Yes, this module is being ported to D6. The HEAD branch in CVS currently has a partial port, and I'm working on finishing up the rest.

Kind regards,

Scott

Thanks Scott, i'm looking forward to get this module for D6 :-)

Kind regards

ps: I'm willing to help out, so if you commit your latest fixes I can start helping out with testing and adding patches.

I made quite a bit of progress this weekend on the D6 port. Links (links.module) now works in D6 with no known D6-specific bugs, and Related Links (links_related.module) is about 90% working. The only known D6-specific bug in links_related.module is that the field labels in the link editing form are missing due to a theme problem. I'll try very hard to get the rest of the port done ASAP.

@swentel: If you were serious about wanting to help out, please take a look at the function theme_links_related_form() in links_related.module, and help me figure out why it's not getting called when the form is rendered. The form section defines the "#theme" parameter to point to this, and it worked in D5. Thanks for any suggestions!

I got the cosmetic problems fixed in links_related over the weekend, and the updated version is in CVS HEAD. I'll start working on links_weblink next, and we should be seeing a beta release of the package soon.

Another CVS commit tonight, with important bug fixes to the Links API for database writes. Testers should definitely update to this version. links_weblink is now partially ported. The node edit part works; I just need to get the links directory to display properly, which should be straightforward.

Not to be pushy or anything, I've got a project which I would like to use Links in but it's running in Drupal 6.x. I'm wondering if there is a timeframe to get a 6.x release of Links. If not or it's far aware I'll have to find something else, which won't be as good.

All of it except links_weblink is pretty solid right now, and I think you could safely deploy into a new project. I'm hoping to get the rest done, and an official production-grade release, within the next week or so.

Finally, some progress to report, and my apologies for this taking so long. For what it's worth, MY web sites are held up for the D6 upgrade by this, too.

Anyway, I have just posted an interim commit to HEAD that has a functional links_weblinks module. The cosmetics of the link display aren't ready yet, but the text is there. I'm working on externalizing more of the formatting into a CSS file so that it's easier for themes to override. I'm actually expecting another commit later tonight, but wanted to update this issue to let people know it's moving ahead.

Good news! BETA1 is now available for download. Please test and file issues as appropriate.

Scott

We are now in beta 6 of the Drupal 6.x version. It's pretty solid at this point, but I'll await a few test reports before considering it production release. In any case, this issue can be marked fixed now because the porting is done. :-)

Kind regards,

Scott
