Modules: Developer

Administration Menu Dropdown

Designed as a companion to the awesome Drupal Administration Menu module, Administration Menu Dropdown changes the way the Drupal Administration Menu is displayed. Once enabled the Administration Menu will be hidden. This default state can be toggled by going to the module's settings page. After pressing a key combination in your browser (Ctrl+Alt by default) the menu is dropped down from the top of browser's viewing area. Pressing the combination again will hide the menu.

The CSS of menu (using the position:fixed; property) is also altered so that it shows up anywhere on the page, not just at the top. This way it can be easily accessed at any time an administrator needs it. Unfortunately, because some browsers do not handle position:fixed; well (e.g. IE 6), this means that your browser might not work with this module.

If any of the Administration Menu extends down further than the browser's viewing area, the Administration Menu Dropdown can have its functionality disabled by pressing another key combination (Ctrl+Shift+Alt by default). Pressing the same combination again will activate the dropdown functionality again. If Ctrl+Alt or Ctrl+Shift+Alt key combinations conflicts with your browser/OS, the key combination can be changed in the settings menu.

AHAH Fragment

AHAH Fragment is a module which returns a specified fragment from the requested page. This allows users to create callbacks for AHAH functionality with little or no code.

When the module is enabled, any HTML fragment of a page can be extracted by simply adding a get parameter to the url describing the fragment desired. Fragments can be described using standard css selectors like 'div.node' or 'div > span.class + #someid'

The module also integrates with thickbox to provide developers and themers a way to create a callback for thickbox windows without having to write any PHP.

Instructions for use are in the README.txt

Ajax Table

Overview

The Ajax Table module is an API-based tool that will allow other modules to create ajax-refreshable tables by supplying a few parameters. There are some handy utilities built in that aid in managing data more quickly than many Drupal modules offer by default. With an Ajax Table, it is easy to add ajax-based input columns to change data on the fly. There is also a utility that works similarly to an auto-complete field, but displays results in a fully customizable Ajax table, which supports pagination and in-place editing.

Note that this module is has had only basic testing.

Bitcache

Bitcache is a distributed content-addressable storage (CAS) system. It provides repository storage for bitstreams (colloquially known as blobs) of any length, each uniquely identified and addressed by a digital fingerprint derived through a secure cryptographic hash algorithm.

This is a module that provides a Bitcache-compatible data storage repository for Drupal and implements the Bitcache REST API for interoperability with the standalone Bitcache command-line and synchronization tools.

Case Tracker

This module enables teams to track outstanding cases which need resolution.
It provides e-mail notifications to participants about updates to cases and is similar to many issue tracking systems.

This is like the project.module and is very similar to that module but varies in important ways. The project.module is specific to software development and the need for a more generic issue tracker has been expressed.

Computed Field

Computed Field is a cck module which lets you add a computed field to custom content types. You can choose whether to store your computed field in the database. You can also choose whether to display the field, and how to format it. The value of the field is set using php code, so it can draw on anything available to drupal, including other fields, the current user, database tables, etc. The drawback of this is of course that you need to know some php to use it.

Computed Field requires the content module (cck).

Crosstab: Scrolling tables

This module provides functions which allow the developer to deliver the results of queries in tables which are capable of vertical and horizontal scrolling. The most obvious use is for "matrix" style displays which would be too large for normal screens.

There are two main functions:
crosstab_table performs a true crosstab analysis using two queries: one to define the column headings and one to define the row titles and body data. If the optional name parameter is passed, this can also be used to create an input form.
scrolling_table creates a scrolling table from a single query.

The module is supplied with a stylesheet, which is essential to the rendering of the tables. However, the prefix parameter lets you assign alternative classes to the content so a different stylesheet can be used.

Database-X (DB-X)

Framework of database API's and User Interfaces that can be used seperate (for developers writing modules), together (for administrators building information systems) and ultimately in Drupal distributions (for end-users) we will build primarily for non-profit organizations and churches.

We are now in the alpha building stage. The thing about DB-X is that you have to see and use it to discover the endless possibilities (intranets, extranets, information systems, integration with websites and shops, accounting features etc). And right now there is much to see yet, so you just have to be patient :)

Components

• DB-X Table
  • Create tables and fields through an easy User Interface.
  • Stores the schema's dynamicly (in a table) and offer them through hook_schema() so they can be used by other modules and the Drupal database layer.
  • Store additional information in the schema like relations, labels, validation and form definition, all to be extened and used by other components or custom-made modules.
• DB-X Row
  • API for loading, saving and deleting rows in any (also non DB-X) table.
  • Goes far beyond the intelligence of drupal_write_record().

Debug

The "Debug" module gives developers an easy to use method for displaying PHP variables of any type in an easy to read format. Once this module is installed (and access control is set) developers can use the following anywhere in their code:

debug("label 1",$var1,"label 2",$var2,...)

By default, any variables passed to the debug function at any time will appear in a floating window that can be minimized or moved so that it doesn't interfere with the page.
