'Display link information?' not efficient. And there is no 'Hide URL'

It looks like maybe you have the "submitted by" theme option enabled for Web Links as well as.

Please also look at #457860: Remove "Created by...". Perhaps you would like to add your own comments to that potential change. In that issue, I want to completely remove this code and rely on the core theme setting to turn the display on and off and the Submitted By module if you want to customize the format of that information.

I should have the "view click count" permission in place momentarily.

The "view click count" permission has now been committed to 6.x-2.x-dev.

deactivate both ... option[s] - This is one of the reasons why that other issue was created. Plus, we are trying to move to more of a core-controlled environment, which is the main thrust of version 6.x-2.x. Eventually, we want to get to where Web Links is actually two primary pieces: an API and a wrapper that does what you see today.

1) I'm still thinking about how to do that. One problem is that the same theme function does both the main links page and the node display page, so hiding it on the links page without hiding it on the node page is not trivial, but I have some ideas.

2) I discovered that problem and have it fixed in my code already; I'm just not sure I have it fixed correctly (again the main page/node page issue).

#2 is now fixed.

Some themes hard code the title field. We we add the title field the right way. You get two copies. When we don't add the title at all you are getting one listed. You would need to talk to your theme maintainer about this.

Thanks

The settings page is reorganized somewhat, but there is now a setting above "Link displays as" that now does what you wanted with the "Hide URL."

6.x-2.x is a significant change moving the module to more core-standard handling and theming. An advantage to the theming support is to allow you the freedom to make it look the way you want. Many users asked for this type of change. In order to accomplish it, some old settings changed and some went away entirely. It appears there are something like 225 people using version 2, and apparently liking what they see.

Your last post didn't format well, so it is hard for me to understand. There is a situation with titling because some themes, like Garland, expect the module to create the title, where other themes make the titles themselves. That's why we now need the "Show the node title" setting. (See #419334: Duplicated title.)

The -dev version only rolls up at Noon and Midnight GMT, so it will be a few hours before these changes are reflected in the code unless you use CVS checkout.

You might want to consider changing "weblinks-link.tpl.php" to something along the lines of:

<div class="weblinks weblinks-item weblinks-link-<?php print $variables[0]->nid;?>">
  <?php
    print '<p>'. check_plain($title) .' '. $link .'</p>';
</div>

Included in 6.x-2.0-rc3.
