Provides an editing overlay for users who do not have access to the administrative overlay. This is an attempt to improve the user-experience in drupal.
This module allows the creation of templates for the CK Editor through the admin interface.
Background
The CK Editor is a very nice wysiwyg editor that has been integrated in Drupal with the module found at http://drupal.org/project/ckeditor. An interesting feature of the CK Editor is the use of templates. A template consists of predefined HTML that can be used as a starting point for newly created nodes.
The problem
One drawback of this system is the way these templates are created: the templates are strings in a javascript file. Two disadvantages of this are that it's a very user-unfriendly way of entering HTML, and when a template is created modified, the updated code needs to be deployed to your production environment.
The solution
This module uses Drupal's nodes to create templates. It defines its own node type that will only be used for creating templates, and that will be hidden from public view (as it is not real content). Adding a new template to the CK editor is now as simple as creating it in the Drupal interface. It will be immediately available as a template in the CK editor.
Installation
1. Install CK Editor (instructions on http://drupal.org/project/ckeditor)
2. In the CK Editor settings, make sure you select a toolbar that includes the templates button
Node Truncate allows the deletion of all posts from a given content type using a batch operation, being useful when one wishes to clean tons of posts without being stuck with server timeouts.
