any module to flag -risky- modules in modules page?

madjr - October 17, 2009 - 14:55

Hi,

am looking for some type of "add on" to the -modules page- inside admin, where we could either flag a bad / risky module or at least leave annotations/comments of the module's quirks, problems or conflicts with other modules.

i've searched lots and can't find something useful for this.

i specially need it because i have about 90 modules and 10 or more have small problems, conflicts, are not too stable or brake some part of the site

i sometimes i forget which modules are a little problematic with my custom code or my other modules and end up enabling them again and again lol

i really hope something like this exists and would be a cool little feature for drupal 7 =)

any tip is welcome even if i would need to hard code (am pretty noob)or use something as a base with a few mods

thanks

When you have issues with modules the proper place to post is the module's issue queue-- every module on drupal.org has an issue queue.

hmm not really what am talking about

nothing to do with the modules, they work as expected

the problem is with my custom code + some modules break the site (or have small quirks) and i need to flag em or leave some type of annotation next to it in the modules page so i can start working on them later

i just wonder if there's any module to help with this

this is just for better organization and make admin life a bit easier when one has many many modules ^^

i know tons of people go throu this

thanks

ok found what i was looking for thanks to @WorldFallz's suggestion

-journal (add admin notes almost anywhere including modules page. works with admin themes also)
http://drupal.org/project/journal (the dev version seems more complete)

-module categories (lets you add new categories on modules page to list them. i.e: "unstable modules"; "modules to work on later")
http://drupal.org/project/mopa
