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:
|
|
|
|
**Node links:**
|
|
|
|
* Edit
|
|
* Publish
|
|
* Unpublish
|
|
* Promote
|
|
* Unpromote
|
|
* Make sticky
|
|
* Make unsticky
|
|
* Delete
|
|
* Clone
|
|
* Dev load
|
|
* View author
|
|
* Edit author
|
|
* Add
|
|
|
|
**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.
