I installed 6.x-1.5 version.
When a user Create a new web link, the link is displayed for any user.
How to create private links ? (not public link => visible only for the creator)

In the documentation, I could read "This module plays nicely with taxonomy_access/node_access..."
Are these extra modules ?
I found a "Taxonomy Access Control" module... or "Taxonomy Access Control Lite" ?

These notions seems a bit complex to me.
I added "Taxonomy Access Control Lite" module.
Now, do I need to create a "role" ? I don't need group of users...

Could you give more details or summarize a step-by-step process to have the following behaviour:
UserA create a Web Link => this link will be displayed only in UserA page.
UserB create a Web Link => this link will be displayed only in UserB page.
etc...

=> which module to install ? what to be configured in Administration...

Thanks for your help.

"This module plays nicely with taxonomy_access/node_access..." is a reflection of what users have told us. I don't know about Robert, but I have no sites with those modules and Web Links together.

I have one site with TAC_Lite, but it's been so long since I set it up that I can't think of how it would be able to create a private links page.

Under "My Account" there can be a list of the links someone has created. But it does not display as the main page would.

I also can't see how any role-based access module would do what you want. It would have to be user-based. I can sort of understand the desire for a private links page, but that is pretty much against the design of this module, which is to allow multiple users to submit links that everyone can see.

If Robert wants to accept this as a feature request, we can see if there's a simple way to do it.

OK, thanks for this information, even if it is a bad news for me.
I also tested the "bookmarks" module (bookmarks-6.x-2.3.tar.gz). This one is a "user-based" module.
I was looking for another module because "bookmarks" has a very poor display and functionalities, whereas "Web Links" proposes attachments, descriptions,...

My need is a module that will enable each user to build its playlist. A playlist is a kind of bookmark:
one entry has at least a title and a link (to a local mp3 file for example or to a streaming server) and optionally a description or other fields...
In most of the cases, the playlist would be user-based. But it could be shared (with everybody or role-based access).

In a Content Management System, there are some contents for everyone, and some that are private.
Maybe the modules designed for Drupal should have in their description an explicit presentation of this ?

I think what you want is a customized profile listing. You could then use Web Links as you describe by using http://www.example.com/weblinks/user/123.

There may already be some modules that do much of what you want. Look under profile stuff. Possibly Content Profile will do much of what you want and you can build the playlist as a content type with CCK.

In the 6.x-2.x branch, the node is pretty much like any other node, so I would assume that the access control modules would handle private/public designations.

However, we did decide to add to the blocks. There is now a "My Links" block.
