Allows you to add nodes to the menu (under some parent item) without making it appear in the menu.
Adds an option "Node Trail parent" in the node edit form. There is no settings page.
Some examples
- To some nodes you get through a View or Search, or from an external link or external search engine.
- If this node is not a child in a hierarchic menu structure, nothing in the menu would show as active.
- If the user wants to continue navigating on your site, it would help if the current node shows up associated to somewhere in the menu, or some other navigation indication.
Custom Search Box is a simple little module that gives a user with Administer search privileges an easy way to change the appearance of the search box used by many themes.
The module is now obsolete. New frameworks such as comet or HTML5's websockets should be used instead.
Live Update is a module that provides a flexible and scalable to provide up to date in content to users without requiring page refreshes. Live Update uses JQuery to poll lightweight text files that tell the users' browser if new content is available. If so, JQuery then makes another call to get the updated content stored as static HTML.
