Admin Frosting

Overview

Admin Frosting is the kitchen sink of administrative modules. Out of the box, it comes with a ton more options than Drupal core gives you for managing your content. It replaces Drupal's default Content, Comment and People (User) administration screens utilizing the power of Views, Views Bulk Operations (VBO) and Rules.

Features

Installation

1. Download all required modules and place them in your modules folder
   (usually /sites/all/modules).
2. Enable module dependencies and Admin Frosting at admin/modules.
3. Optional: Enable Views UI. This will be required to customize your views.

Usage

The following Administration pages are now replaced with one's from Admin Frosting:

1. Content /admin/content
2. Comment /admin/content/comment and /admin/content/comment/approval
3. User/People /admin/people

Known Issues

The number of exposed filters may be overwhelming for some. We plan to display only couple of the "most-used" filters and hide the rest in a collapsible "Advanced" fieldset under these using the Better Exposed Filters module. However, BEF has a small bug that needs to be fixed first. See #1869082: Exposed operators excluded from secondary exposed form options

Recommended Modules

• Features Override: This module captures your changes to a site-specific "Override" feature and leaves the original feature untouched. Before overriding this feature with your customizations, install it and it will make it easier to upgrade to a newer version of this feature (or any feature) in the future.
