The better_node_admin_content project aims to provide usability improvements
and extensibility through additional hooks to the node_admin_content form
found at admin/content/node. To facilitate this goal the project is
currently focussed on creating a module for Drupal 6 to implement the form
improvements. Once this module has reached a stable state it will be the
base for a Drupal 7 patch.

Please note that the module is currently under heavy development, while it should be ready for every day use the API which it exposes is subject to change as development proceeds.

Usability improvements

  • Provides additional node filters
  • Each filter can be set to 'is' or 'is not'
  • Add ability to sort by column headers on node table
  • Recent times are displayed as minutes/hours ago

Extensibility improvements

  • NEW HOOK: hook_node_admin_filters -Allows modules to add additional
    filters to the form.
  • NEW HOOK: hook_node_admin_columns - Allows modules to add additional
    columns to the node table. Cells in the column are theme-able.
  • UPDATED HOOK: node_operations - Operations can now define a 'confirmation' attribute which creates a confirmation form before the operation is applied to the selected nodes.
