Content editing experience

The Slot Machine module allows you to schedule your content by 'slotting' nodes into different queues. The main building blocks of the module are topics and feature types. Topics correspond to pages or channels, for example 'sport', 'entertainment', 'world' on a news site. You create a vocabulary with the channel names as terms and then set this vocabulary as the slot machine vocabulary. Feature types are slots within those pages and correspond more or less to content types, e.g. ‘article’, ‘video’, ‘review’, etc.

Administrators can modify the update frequency of each slot (either by a time interval or a time of day), configure content in certain slots to rotate to other slots of the same type, and reorder the queue of nodes awaiting scheduling for each slot. (Javascript is required for the administrator UI.)

For output of the content there is a menu callback whose path depends on whatever you set this to be in the settings – so when you go to channels/entertainment, for example, it will display the current node for each slot in the entertainment channel. There are two theme functions used to display content for this path, depending on whether a channel name is passed in or not. There is also an API function that can be used to get the current node in a particular slot.

External Link Page is a very basic module that provides a content filter that redirects external links to a customizable page. This page informs the user that they are about to leave the site and then redirects them.

Who is this for?

You will want to use this module if:

• You need to provide a message/page for any user that clicks on a link that will take them away from your site.

The Taxtractor module, short for taxonomy extractor, lets you configure a free tagging vocabulary to fill out the rest of the form.

Title rewrite rules allow the contents of the X/HTML <title> element to be overridden using text specified in weighted rules. The override text may include dynamic content using the Token module. Rules are applied based on the path to the page being displayed, thus any page (not just a node) can have its title rewritten.

Ever wish that Drupal had a front-end code editor? Frustrated with using the space bar to indent code in textareas? Wish you could back up your node code to a hard file? Then Save-to-File might be the solution for you!

Save-to-File adds a link under a textarea to "Save to file". When clicked, some handy javascript moves the entire content of the textarea to a file, and replaces the textarea content with a short function that will grab the content from a file the next time the content is loaded.

Common Workflows:

Switching between Drupal and Your Favorite Editor

1. You start creating your code in a node content's textarea and realize that you'd really appreciate some syntax highlighting and automatic tag completion.
2. You click "Save to file" to save the content you've already created to a file via ajax.
3. You save the node and view the page.
4. You open the new file up in your code editor. Now you can work with the content as a static file. Changes will be reflected in the browser because it's drawing from the file contents.

Clean Pagination is a very simple module that allows you to enable clean URL pagination for specified pages.
