Thank you! It’s a GREAT module! We’re looking for Simplemenu 6.0 in Drupal6.x.

Ted, this looks fantastic! The blog is a lot easier to read :). Nice work. Hope your travels out West are going well.

I like the new design, but then the old one was pretty nice too. The best thing is how you’ve avoided cluttering up the sidebar. There’s nothing worse than a whole lot of widget junk littering up the sidebar.

Every time someone relaunches with a new theme I feel guilty that I still haven’t found the time to move away from the stock Zen template.

your new theme looks and works clear, crisp and spacey -tested on mac/safari/camino/firefox/shiira. no errors just 6 warnings with ‘missing </span> around' < span class="terms">

your take on blueprint sounds great, looking forward for the release.

Can’t wait for the write up. As I’m hoping to create a drupal powered website for my local pub – love the clean design of those two uncorked guys.

Looks good Ted! I didn’t know you had a module that did this way back in 4.7 days! The javascript External Links module was mostly a proof of concept when it started (a jjeff experiment). But now I’ve grown to like it so much that I use it all the time. It gets points for ease of use, but it’s good to see there’s an efficient alternative for a site serious about it’s external linking.

Not used on the wine site yet but coming soon for sure :)

Indeed, very well said Eric. Speaking of consolidation, 2 modules, URL Class and URL icon are slated to be merged into ELF module per this issue.

I think this supports your point greatly—start a new module from scratch, with a clean architecture and then slowly roll other modules into it that help support it, rewriting those implementations to be faster and cleaner too.

I eagerly await releasing version 3 of this module this spring with some of those great features in other modules in it, creating a standard module to work with external links :)

Cool, thanks for the update! Great stuff!

Awesome stuff. Thank you for a great module. Just tried it. Is really a neat solution for handling the flood of menu items in the Administer menu.

One more question. Is there a way to skip viewing the node, and instead, go right from the teaser to the external site when the visitor clicks on the title? I’ve tried setting this up in Views, but it’s not working for me. I was able to use the SimpleFeed Feed Item: Article title field to get a link to the original site, but the teaser didn’t show when I used the Node:Body field.

Any thoughts?

Thanks, Lisa G.

Hey Lisa, everything is a node, so just create a new feed node under “create content” and you’ll be good to go.

Hi,

I was wondering if you also have a solution for duplicate links in the site?

greetings, Martijn
