Test Content Block is a tool for people tasked with the onerous chore of theming Drupal sites. When theming, you often have to run back and forth between node templates.

This module allows themes to define their own blocks.

Implementing Microsoft's Internet Explorer 8 Web Slices (available for Firefox as a plugin) for Drupal.

This module is intended for drupal sites running on shared hosting environments, or any server where the user does not have access to an SSH shell or terminal, but would like one. It provides an ajaxy web-based pseudo-shell, letting web users more comfortable with a shell environment perform operations like wget, patch, gzip, rm, etc. In this way, they can perform almost any valid linux/unix commands, including running their own scripts.

This module is meant to assist Drupal admins in configuring, debugging, sharing, and submitting support and bug request related to LDAP integration modules.

This small module is designed to help you performance-optimize your use of input filters and input formats.

D7 version now available.

Filter Check does the following:

• Shows which individual input filters cannot be cached by marking them with an asterisk on the format configuration page.
• Shows which input formats cannot be cached by appending an asterisk to their names.

How is this useful?

An input format consists of one or more input filters applied consecutively. The text you input (for example the body of a node) is usually processed by several input filters - those that are enabled in the format that you selected when you input the text. This processing may take significant time, which is why Drupal tries to cache the result so that the processing does not need to be repeated unnecessarily.

However, the output from some filters cannot be reliably cached (the PHP evaluator is an example.) Using such a non-cacheable filter prevents caching for all text which uses that format whether or not the functionality provided by the non-cacheable filter is actually needed. Clearly it makes good sense to avoid using a non-cacheable filter format unless it's really necessary.
