Sorry for the lack of Blog posts lately, but
|
|
|
|
|
|
[my new job](http://horseandcountry.tv) 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!
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Today, I'd like to just give a quick overview of the
|
|
|
|
|
|
[Admin:hover](http://drupal.org/project/admin_hover) 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 [Admin module](http://drupal.org/project/admin). It also
|
|
|
|
|
|
integrates well with the [Devel](http://drupal.org/project/devel) and
|
|
|
|
|
|
[Clone](http://drupal.org/project/node_clone) modules.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
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.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
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:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|

**Block links:**

|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- Configure block
|
|
|
|
|
|
- Add block
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|

Although, as I have additional contributed modules installed, some of these may
|
|
|
|
|
|
not neccassaily be available out of the box.
