Hi,

This looks useful, thanks. My thoughts:

  • This should be another link type. This will make for a consistent UI and allow for limiting the number of links, weight handling, title specification etc.
  • The retrieve link SQL should only retrieve parsed (and possibly manual links). Discovered links aren't explicitly related.
  • Path aliases are unaccounted for.
  • Will the LIKE match against "/node/nid" work for installations in subdirectories etc.? Should links with full paths need to be checked?

Please let me know.

Thanks,
-K

clarification: links with full paths = URLs with the FQDN. Most end users don't use relative URLs and prefer to just stick the entire address in.

Cheers,
