This module provides a dynamic interface for content administration.
It is intended to supplement Drupal's built-in content management page, and features these improvements over the standard interface:
Uses AHAH to show node previews and node edit forms within the existing page.
Uses AJAX to perform searches, apply filters, and retrieve the results without reloading the entire page.
Adds filters by author and text content (using Drupal's built-in search).
Shows how many nodes exist within a given set of filters, and allows direct navigation to any page of results.
The built-in content management page requires the 'administer nodes' access permission, which grants access to a broad range of content-related operations. This module's page is accessible to users granted a permission for only that purpose. Through this page, normal content permissions are enforced, so content can be viewed, modified, or deleted only by users who have these permissions.
JavaScript is required for most of these features. Also, this module requires PHP version 5.2.
It gives the user the ability to create custom tokens for specific replacements that can improve other modules relying on the Drupal 7 token API or, for Drupal 6, the Token module.
Versions 7.x-1.x and previous relied on PHP evaluation to build custom tokens.
The new 7.x-2.x relies on input filters. While still allowing for PHP tokens through the D7 core PHP filter module, administrators can permit only HTML or plain text custom tokens.
Harnessing the power of Calais tagging, administrators can create Topic Hubs based on site’s most popular tags. Topic hubs are highly configurable and contain a series of pluggable content modules, like “Most Read” content for this topic, “Most Commented” stories, most active contributors, and links to other related topics. To top it off, integration with Calais Geo allows for plotting all of your content for a Topic Hub content on a map.
For example, a topic hub of “healthcare” may have related topics of “homeopathy” and “medicine”. Through topic hubs, readers can explore all content related to subjects they are interested in. And, different from other news topic pages, these are configured automatically instead of being curated by editorial staff.
Topic Hubs 6.x-1.x iintegrates with Panels2 for full control over layout and content.
