Hi

first thanks for this fine port.

I like this tool as it allows for fast linking of relevant nodes etc.

BUT: I have a multilanguage site and another where taxonomies are quite diferrent.

So I wonder if and how it would be possible to have identical terms (eg. hotel) linked to different urls, depending either on the language, or depending on the taxonomy where the link happens.

Example:

If I have a site for several countries, like Greece, Romania, Italy, and if I want to lset an automatic link to hotels than this would only allow me to link to 1 (one) address, maybe for Italy, or for Greece or Romania.

Now, If I could tell Alinks wether the links is for

all taxonomies or only for some taxonomies like A and B, but not for C, than this could really boost the usefulness of this module.

Same would be cool for languages in a multi-language environment.

Example: The word "hotel" seems to be the same all over the world.

So the word "hotel" would be linked to whatever page, no matter which language, but the link would only lead to one specific location or URL - either internal or external.

So here it would be great to distinguish the linked URL by case of language.

What do You think about this,

Is it possible to have this kind of enhancement in Alink ?

In any case, many thanks for Your time and effort

Best regards and greetings from Costa Rica.

Yes it is possible, but seems more a one site or at best a few site customization than a wide needed feature. Especially in drupal 5.2 where there is more than one module to handle a site language. So I won't do this.

Hi

This is just a thought about a request that was not accepted by the former maintainer.

While not every site uses different languages, most seem to use taxonomy.

How difficult would it be to make ALKINKS aware of language, so if You create a link for an international city name, brand or concept, it could lead to correct different versions.

Does the newly introduced Taxonomy related feature provide some way to solve this ?

Thanks for all dedication to this and to Drupal.

Any News on this topic? Could use that feature too...

+1 subscribe for multilanguage feature (perhaps it is possible to select the language the link appears in, so everything would be fine...)

probably it would be possible like it had been made in logotool:

http://drupal.org/project/logotool

1 new database table/row for the language

1 select-field on the add/edit/table-view for the language...

but I'm not a programmer... if I can help tell me..

+1 for multi-language support (not entirely sure what the taxonomy request is about, but sure :)

@blecheimer...I believe the module is maintained, the current dev snapshot was committed on July 11 2010.

Hello, I have a workaround. But i did not got the select for the languages saved in the db, so I have used a text field for now (I am not a programmer but if you can change it i would be glad.) you can(must) now give a destination language per link. This would be matched before the alink is rendered...

You have to override the modules/alinks folder and run update.php (please make a backup of your code and your database!)

So have fun!

Hello!

This is covered by Glossify!

Glossify covers already the Alinks functionality but has no direct interface for defining Keyword "A" to a spesific Address!

It is more complex...but it has more features ( see http://drupal.org/project/glossify )

Glossify 3.1 will cover the full Alinks functionality with an easy interface and advanced Glossify functionality -> caching, case sensitivity, language handling, Unicode,....

As soon as Glossify 3.1 is ready we will transfer Alinks to Glossify because Glossify is fully supported, more advanced, more secure, more features,....

Language aware links is a good feature, but instead of posting an entire zip file, please create a patch because reviewing an entire zip file is extremely difficult.
