Administration tools

This module gives you a way to easily download a compressed archive file of any files which have changed since the installation - ie files that have been uploaded by users.

Cobalt is a way to control Drupal made in the image of Quicksilver for Mac (if you use Gnome you might be familiar with Gnome Do, another Quicksilver clone). So far it’s confirmed to work in Safari/Chrome/Webkit and Firefox. In Firefox, and other potentially compatible browsers, Google Gears have to be installed for quicksilver to work. This is due to Cobalt’s need to store data locally for fast access.

INSTRUCTIONS

Cobalt is invoked through pressing [Alt+space] or [Ctrl+space] (this can now be changed in admin). Then you only have to start typing to quickly get what you want. Use the arrow up/down to select one of the suggestions and [Alt+left/right] to switch between the the pages. Cobalt will learn from your choices so the amount of selecting and paging will decrease over time. If you are satisfied with the default action (Go to for menu items) you can just press enter to execute it. If you want to do something else (maybe you would like to assign a shortcut) just press [tab] and select one of the actions using the arrow keys or typing part of the action name. The press enter to execute the selected action.

This module protects critical users from being deleted in the following ways:

Drupal core has the option to force users to use the preview button, before being able to submit content. This option is pretty effective to prevent certain bots from spamming your site.

Drupal allows you to define a different theme for administration pages (Administer -> Site configuration -> Administration theme). By default this only applies to pages with a path starting with 'admin' and content editing pages.

The Administration theme module allows you to use this theme on more pages like :
- batch processing pages
- devel node load and render pages
- coder code review pages
- pages you define yourself in the provided textarea

Some of these options will only be available to you if they apply to your installation, i.e. you have the module installed which generates these pages.

Use default theme (not administration theme) for anonymous users on admin/*

This is possible using this module. See issue http://drupal.org/node/372156 for more details.

Module maintainers

You can add extra pages by implementing hook_admin_theme_options in a module.
For Drupal 7 the hooks are hook_admin_theme_info and hook_admin_theme_check

How can you get involved?

• Help write or improve the documentation.

Improves the Input Formats administration page. Makes it less painful to manage, configure and test these sometimes tricky groups of input filters.
