The extension works well and the support from the developer is great.
As I am using this module to link to related articles, this extension would improve for me if I could choose to type in the article ID instead of manually type in Title & URL.
Another issue is not being able to translate the Titles with Joomfish.

Hi Olaf,
Thanks for you review and suggestions! I'll keep them in mind while working on future Context Links releases.

Great approach however I couldn't get the component to install in 1.5.9 even with legacy mode on :(

To get this to install in Joomla 1.5 you need to edit the dwcontextlinks.xml file and remove several lines of code.
This would be a GREAT component if the URL was a list of content within the site. At the moment you have to open a new window, navigate to the content, and copy and paste the URL into the admin. Shouldn't take too long to change?

native 1.5 version and a inline configurable plugin to be able to isolate keywords and related items per article. i have very big web site with complicated information structure so as for me this is a must. as for now i am using j1.0 and related items xtd which works excellent.

This is excellent component. You have total control over related links. Every link is hardcoded and is independently inserted in specified areas of an webpage. Using Context Links component You can even make related links pointing to a different domains.
Thank you very much.

Excellent, very simple and nice component. It does exactly what it says. I would just suggest to add a copy button in the component toolbar for more efficiency. Thanks a lot for your job ;-)

Thanks for your comment and suggestion. It's a nice idea, and I'll be working on this feature as soon as I'll have time for it.

happy to discover this module.
got back from a customer's meeting with a surprise surprise functionality: "oh yes, we told you we want context links displayed in a right-hand column, right ?"
This module helps me out just great. The best thing is that it has a nice and simple component administratio where you can easily select the menu item where you want to display your context link.
Thanks!

The idea is very good: to have your content links displayed in separate module. For a site that's very static in nature, Context Links would probably work well.
Right now it's very hard to administer. You have to do a lot of manual copy & pasting, finding out ID-numbers you want to link, and finding out the URL's. Very hard to keep track of when you need to change something.
Suggestion: it would be great if I could create a link right next to the content item in the backend. Perhaps in an extra tab. And it would be even nicer if I could select the content item from a filtering list (first select section, then category, then content item).
Great idea, just needs some working on.
