awesome module, potential to dramatically improve Drupal's usability. You should provide a bar for every everything, mwahaha! Things such as

  • Site name (hover over it to get an edit button)
  • Footer
  • misc. stuff like forums, contact page, etc.

also, might be nice to apply display:none to the original view/dev_render/edit bar if this module is enabled, so it doesn't confuse the user with duplication, too many options that do the same thing, etc.

also, I know d6 is dev, but in case you hadn't spotted it this doesn't work for nodes in a view... at least not the way mine's set up (which has style=list, row-style=fields)

Thanks Tyler,

  1. Good point about a broader application of the links (i.e. footer and maybe even menus?), I am exploring ways in which this can be achieved.
  2. By the "original view/dev_render/edit bar", do you mean the tabs on a node's page view? Assuming the answer to that question is "yes": In the administrative settings for this module, I plan on having a "don't display Admin:hover links on a node's page" option, or something to that effect. In your opinion, which do you think the default should be, or do you think this should be an option at all?
  3. Currently, the module is built to display links for nodes in a View with "Full Nodes" or "Teaser List" selected. However, I will look into bringing them into list and even table views. However, the application of the links in these View types may get cumbersome for the end user... At any rate, good point.

Thanks, again, and I look forward to hearing your response to the points above. I will also try and update this thread as I come to address them in development. Take care.

1. Sweet!
2. Yeah, those tabs are what I'm talking about. To that I vote yes, to have that option in the administration.
3. Tacking these links on to field/list -views would definitely not be as cut-n-dry as for node views, I didn't even think of that. Props if you get it working!

Thanks again for your awesome module :D
