Views Support Status? [#425450]

Hi - I noticed that there is a links_views.inc file in the newest revision of the links package, but I do not understand what functionality it actually provides, as no "links" fields appear in the field selection drop down when creating a view. Does the links module currently have any views integration? If so, how do I access it?
Thanks you!

Bump this. I would also like to know if there is a way to make a Views page be able to link to the Drupal links internal page (which counts and redirects to the external link).

I think I fixed the problem with the links_views.inc file. I've created a new one and it's attached below. I hope it works for everyone.

Here is another patch which exposes all the "links" fields to node-type views

I am committing a new version tonight that will have a composite of the two patches you have kindly contributed. Thanks!

For some reason, I'm having CVS problems tonight. The code is done and committed, but I can't seem to tag it. I'll issue a new release as soon as I figure this out.

It looks like this patch still hasn't been applied? IMHO there is a huge need for this module to have views integration.

I've applied the patch locally and I don't see where I can create a list view where the weblink's title shows up as a link where the href is the link_url (weblink's resource). This is part of the weblinks packing in drupal 5 and is nowhere to be found in drupal 6 as far as I can tell.

Is this feature being abandoned in Drupal 6?

Thanks.
