Port "Link Image Field" to Drupal7 [#951742]

Since Link Image Field (http://drupal.org/project/linkimagefield) is on ad undefined maintenance status, I ask here if there is the ability to add a link URL to image fields on CCK and if it will be ported to D7 too (as core module or additional).
Thanks in advance !

This seems to be a request for a port to drupal7.

Yes: it was a D7 port request (sorry for my poor english)...
But, in the meanwhile, I've switched to another solution (combining field image + views), so I'm not interested to this module anymore.

If you would not mind could you please reveal how your other solution works, "combining field image + views" sounds great but I can't seem to get it to work. I am trying to output image fields in a view as a link. I have tried by using the replacement pattern for the link field, and have done according to what I have seen others try...but it isn't working correctly.

Thanks in advance.

The "Output this field as a link" with a replacement pattern in the view field is the way I gone for.
You can use whatever as link path, also other fields (if they are in a prior position in the fields list).

For example, in my image field, I used something like "xxx/[nid]" where xxx was the path to a panel with a "Node: ID" argument and [nid] was the node ID field (excluded from visualization). Then the panel used that information as a context for other complex views...

But you can also, more easily, setup a text field in the content type where the image is and use it as replacement pattern for the image URL composition. It depends on which kind of URL you need.
