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 the 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.
Note: Version 2 adds the ability to choose which position mode you prefer to expand browser compatability.
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.
New to Version 2 (in development)
- Settings page is merged into the Drupal Administration Menu settings page.
- Added option to choose between position mode to expand browser compatability.
- Added ability to handle extra behaviors via a hook (documentation will be provided at a later date).
- Added one extra behavior 'Icon Hotspot', originally written by markus_petrux.
Note:
6.x-2.x-dev requires Administration Menu 6.x-3.x-dev
Help merge Administration Menu Dropdown and Administration Menu
Over a year ago an issue was opened to have the Administration Menu Dropdown functionality merged into the Administration Menu module. I posted a few patches to attempt this, but failed to get anything committed.
After taking a few months from the issue I have again decided to make the push and have released a new, heavily stripped back patch.
If you have the expertise, or time, please head over to the issue and test/review it: #226012: Merge Administration Menu Dropdown module
