Haha, awesome module. Another useful thing I've found is giving users links at the top of the page to add content relevant to what they're looking at. Instead of using a "Create Content" menu item, give them the option to add content only for when they're seeing other related information.

So, if they're looking at a bunch of thumbnailed images, don't give them the option to create any type of content, give them only the option of adding more images. Post Block material? Maybe....

I've thought of the same functionality. Have you come around a module that does this?

I've always added "Create New X" links manually in views headers (using Prepopulate). I'm now thinking it should be possible to leverage Context to tell a dynamic block like this which content types, taxonomy terms, etc. are involved in the current page.

In the meanwihle I've made a small module that makes one block per content type, each with one link: "Add [contenttype]". I then use the context module to place the blocks in the relevant contexts.

If anyone is interested I'd love to upload it somewhere.

Sounds like a good idea!

I'm going to start a 6.x-2.x version soon which will eventually allow multiple blocks, one of which could be a context-sensitive one...
Postponing for now.

An official release of version 2 is about to come out (give me a few minutes ;), so I'm starting to think about new features for it.
As I haven't had any experience with Context as yet, patches are very welcome!

Not something I have time to look into at the moment, so postponing again.
