This module implements a context-based menu. Drupal Administration Menu is one of the most popular modules, so you might (also) be interested in seeing this functionality shipped within DAM.

DAM includes various tweaks for administering Drupal. I worked on a similar approach a while ago. With the new theme preprocess hooks in D6, it should be quite easy to accomplish this behavior.

Please let me know what you think.

Daniel,

Hello! I am a big fan of Drupal Administration Menu, what a great module! However, I'm not exactly sure what you are asking... Maybe I don't get exactly how these two modules would mesh... I am definitely up for contributing/collaborating, but I think I need some more info on how the handshake would work.

In the meantime, I will take a closer look at DAM's D6 version's code and see what I can see.

Thanks!

Sorry for coming back so late to you.

Yes, you're probably right that DAM's primary purpose is to provide the dropdown menu. However, technically speaking, the links provided by Admin:hover are menu links, too, and they work on a level, which DAM does not reach, i.e. the level of a particular content item.

I haven't looked at the code of your module yet. But in general it might be worth to consider whether the functionality could be merged into DAM.
