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.
