Description
I've upgraded D5.15 to D6.9, from the latest D5 version of Link module to version 6.x-2.5. I did run update.php.
The problem is that the content type where I used a link field, shows this curious message:
URL (field_url) is an inactive Link field that uses a Text Fields for Title and URL widget.
Where can I find that field and how can I activate it?
:-(
#1
Try to activate and deactivate Link module again, it was helpful for me in the same case of problem.
#2
Thanks, d.f.h. -- that really did help!
However, I leave this issue active (with normal priority) because I think the module developer(s) might be able to find a solution to prevent this from happening after upgrade. So many people upgrade their systems to D6, and if they see their link fields deactivated, it won't increase their trust in Drupal.
#3
try this patch: (BTW if you've already done the upgrade, you'll need to re-run update.php for this to take effect)
#4
First tip didn't work for me - so I deactivated and then activated :-)
Actually did an 'uninstall' as well, and retained all the data.

Thanks grendzy. I think you're right that this should fix the problem. I've had the same problem with Fivestar's implementation. I've committed a similar patch to the Drupal 6 .install file.
