It would be nice if there were an option in the settings to disable the "freelinks" link in the navigation menu. I realize that I could do this using the menu module, but using the menu module messes up the breadcrumb links for my books (http://drupal.org/node/26252).

Is there any easy hack I could employ to do this? I tried simply deleting or commenting out the freelinking_menu function in the module, but that pretty much broke the entire module for me.

How about changing the type to MENU_SUGGESTED_ITEM in freelinking_menu() ?

You'll have to delete the contents of your cache table to see any difference, I think.

It occurs to me that freelinking.module for 4.6 doesn't have the freelinking link in the menu, so you must be using the CVS version.

In that case, the module doesn't define a type for the menu, falling back to the default MENU_NORMAL_ITEM. To disable the menu (without using the menu.module, the preferred method), change the type of the menu item to MENU_CALLBACK. Like this:

function freelinking_menu($may_cache) {
  global $user;
  $items = array();

  if ($may_cache) {
    $items[] = array( 'path' => 'freelinking', 
                      'title' => t('freelinks'),
                      'access' => user_access('access content'),
                      'type' => MENU_CALLBACK,       // <----- ADD THIS LINE
                      'callback' => 'freelinking_page'
                    );
  }
  return $items;
} // endfunction freelinking_menu

Ought to do the trick.

Yes, sorry -- I forgot I switched to the CVS version.

Your fix did the trick. Thanks! Your support for this module has been great.
