Keeping track of backlinks in Drupal 7 | Drupal coder

To keep track of which nodes (and other) link to which other ones, the [core] search indexer stores all links in a table called search_node_links. [..I]f you enable the Views module, you can enable a default view called "Backlinks".

The Backlinks view has 2 displays: a block and a page. The block you can put wherever you want, the page is added as an extra tab on each node next to "view" and "edit".

You can also choose to create your own views using the "Search: Links to" and "Search: Links from" argument and filter.

Views display naming practices: don't rename the Default display

Submitted by Benjamin Melançon on July 11, 2010 - 6:50pm

[note] The Default display is always the Default display. Changing its name will just confuse ourselves and others, and should not be done. [/note]

And in Views 3, we cannot change the name of the Default display anymore.

If this software keeps getting better and more intuitive, how am i supposed to <a http://definitivedrupal.org/node/95">write about how to use it?

Earl Miles (merlinofchaos) Views 3 Roadmap: http://www.angrydonuts.com/views-3-x-roadmap

Views 3 is ported and working for Drupal 7.

dereine (Daniel Wehner) has been making many of the 7.x commits.

The goal is for Views 3 to use CTools as a dependency, but CTools is still in development for Drupal 7: http://drupal.org/node/343333/release?api_version[]=103
