Administration

Delta

What is the Delta Theme Settings API?

UPDATE: The Delta module is now working for D7!!!! Usage of Delta requires the 7.x-2.x version of Omega as your base theme, and Context.

Delta allows you, via Context to make duplicates of your Omega theme settings for any context on your site. This gives you the ability for alternative layouts as a reaction in Context...

Admin

We are looking for a 1.x branch maintainer

We are currently focusing all our efforts on the 2.x branch of Admin. However, we understand that there are many sites that will continue to use the 1.x branch and need bug fixes, features, and further releases.

If you are interested in being a branch maintainer for Admin 1.x, please contact Young Hahn.

Admin 2.x

The admin module provides UI improvements to the standard Drupal admin interface. The 2.x branch focuses on the following goals:

Features

The features module enables the capture and management of features in Drupal. A feature is a collection of Drupal entities which taken together satisfy a certain use-case.

Features provides a UI and API for taking different site building components from modules with exportables and bundling them together in a single feature module. A feature module is like any other Drupal module except that it declares its components (e.g. views, contexts, CCK fields, etc.) in its .info file so that it can be checked, updated, or reverted programmatically.

Advanced help

 

The advanced help module allows module developers to store their help outside the module system, in pure .html files. The files can be easily translated simply by copying them into the right translations directory. The entire system can appear in a popup or not as the module prefers (and by taking away access to view the popups, a site can force the popups to not exist).

Backup and Migrate

#D7CX: I pledge that Backup and Migrate will have a full Drupal 7 release on the day that Drupal 7 is released.

Wysiwyg

Allows to use client-side editors to edit content. It simplifies the installation and integration of the editor of your choice. This module replaces all other editor integration modules. No other Drupal module is required.

Wysiwyg module is capable to support any kind of client-side editor. It can be a HTML-editor (a.k.a. WYSIWYG), apseudo-editor (buttons to insert markup into a textarea), or even Flash-based applications. The editor library needs to be downloaded separately. Various editors are supported (see below).

Views Bulk Operations

This module augments Views by allowing bulk operations to be executed on the nodes displayed by a view. It does so by showing a checkbox in front of each node, and adding a select box containing operations that can be applied on the selected nodes.

Taxonomy Manager

#D7CX: I pledge that the Taxonomy Manager will have a full Drupal 7 release on the day that Drupal 7 is released.

This module provides a powerful interface for managing taxonomies. A vocabulary gets displayed in a dynamic tree view, where parent terms can be expanded to list their nested child terms or can be collapsed.

The Taxonomy Manager has following operations and key features:

Admin role

This module is a little helper to maintain an administrator role which has all
available permissions. By default, Drupal only has one super user and this
module helps improve this drastically.

Update Status

The Update Status module checks with drupal.org once a day to see if there are new officially released versions of Drupal and any modules that you are running. It requires cron to do its thing, so make sure that you have cron correctly enabled or it won't be able to know. Update status is now part of Drupal core starting in Drupal 6.

Quick FAQ

Q. Why doesn't Update Status show all of my installed modules?
