Support for Drupal 7 is ending on 5 January 2025—it’s time to migrate to Drupal 10! Learn about the many benefits of Drupal 10 and find migration tools in our resource center.
I love this module but the one thing that keeps making me install admin_menu instead of this is the quick access to the above listed functions that admin_menu provides.
It would be great if you could optionally add these items for admin users who are playing a dev role.

espirates CreditAttribution: espirates commentedI agree this would be good add on. Installing the devel module just to add a few menus is overkill. The Admin module is a perfect replacement for drupal 7 admin menu, it's way better I think.

Two issues keep driving me back to admin_menu from Admin2 ...
(1) lack of an automatically expand submenu on hover feature
(2) the issue commented here -- namely, an additional menu to display "Flush Caches", etc etc.
specifically, the equivalent of:

would be a real nice-to-have.
thanks!

espirates CreditAttribution: espirates commentedI"ve also noticed it's not as responsive as a typical css style menu so it's got some clunky going on but I still like it a whole lot. It needs to be faster.

timdiacon CreditAttribution: timdiacon commentedI totally agree with BenDJ whilst I want to love admin2 as it looks great it just doesn't work efficiently enough to stop me from going back to admin_menu.

Shane Birley CreditAttribution: Shane Birley commentedYes, I agree with @BenDJ because installing Devel module is like trying to blast a mouse with an elephant gun. Devel does a whole hell of a lot and I would not feel very secure knowing that it was running on a site all the time.
I don't see the issue why these menu items couldn't be automagically added to the admin menu or by themselves as their own menu in the admin2 module.

yhahn CreditAttribution: yhahn commentedPoint taken. Will see what a light version of this functionality in Admin (if Devel is not present) would look like.

mizerydearia CreditAttribution: mizerydearia commentedIs flush cache integrated into this module yet? If not, I guess I must enable devel, which seems to be overkill on a production environment =/
Comment #9
espirates CreditAttribution: espirates commentedUse the Admin Tools Module, it has both flush cache and run cron, integrates perfectly with Admin.
