Drupal contributions

I wrote or co-maintain the following modules and themes:

  • Zen (maintainer) which is the ultimate starting theme for Drupal.
  • Menu block (author) which lets Drupal admins place customizable menu trees in any theme region.
  • Theme Settings API (author) which lets any theme add settings to the /admin/build/themes/settings page
  • Codefilter (maintainer) which allows PHP snippets to be easily included in content.
  • Page Title (co-maintainer of 5.x-1.x branch) which gives control over a web page’s <title> tag.
  • Theme Settings (author) which lets Drupal admins control the text and placement of the read more and comments links; my first module—needs love.

I have also contributed fixes for critical bugs in Drupal and have contributed several fixes/enhancements for such modules as Date, Calendar, Views, TinyMCE, Custom Breadcrumbs, LoginToboggan, Meta Tags, and Devel.
