<h1>Review of the Admin:hover Module</h1>
<p class="posted text-light">10th August 2010</p>
<p>Sorry for the lack of Blog posts lately, but <a href="http://horseandcountry.tv">my new job</a> that I started a few weeks ago has certainly been keeping me busy! I've got a few more posts that I'm preparing content for, and I'll hopefully be back into my weekly-post routine before too long!</p>
<p>Today, I'd like to just give a quick overview of the <a href="http://drupal.org/project/admin_hover">Admin:hover</a> module. It basically adds an administrative menu that pops up when you hover over a node or block within your Drupal website - the kind of functionality that was present within previous versions of the <a href="http://drupal.org/project/admin">Admin module</a>. It also integrates well with the <a href="http://drupal.org/project/devel">Devel</a> and <a href="http://drupal.org/project/node_clone">Clone</a> modules.</p>
<p>I've found this to be extremely useful whilst working on photo galleries etc. where multiple nodes are displayed in a grid format and I quickly need to publish or unpublish something for testing purposes. No longer do I need to open each node, or go into the administration area to perform the required actions.</p>
<p>It is also possible to customise which links are available from within the adminstration area. The possible selections that I currently have on this site are as follows:</p>
<p><strong>Node links:</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>Edit</li>
<li>Publish</li>
<li>Unpublish</li>
<li>Promote</li>
<li>Unpromote</li>
<li>Make sticky</li>
<li>Make unsticky</li>
<li>Delete</li>
<li>Clone</li>
<li>Dev load</li>
<li>View author</li>
<li>Edit author</li>
<li>Add</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>Block links:</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>Configure block</li>
<li>Add block</li>
</ul>
<p>Although, as I have additional contributed modules installed, some of these may not neccassaily be available out of the box.</p>
