Empower developers with tools that assist with developing and debugging the frontend or backend of the site.

Util

The Util module is a grouping of commonly-needed utilities that are simple to code, everyone wants, but nobody actually codes them.

Right now, we have the following features:

Nodeblock

This module allows you to specify content type(s) as being a block. This allows the content managers of the site to edit the block text and title without having to access the block administration page. Users only need edit access to that node in order to edit it.

We advice you to use this module together with Node Level Blocks or Block Reference module.

It is very handy to create a simple block content type and enable this content type for blocks and use these in place of the normal 'add block' functionality.

Now supports translatable content (Contrent translation with i18n and Entity Translation)

If Content Translation is enabled, then only a single node block per translation set is exposed and the node from the translation set with the appropriate language is loaded into the block.

Other modules

There are several other modules and approaches that allow nodes to be presented as a block. See a comparison at http://groups.drupal.org/node/93499

Drupal 7

The Drupal 7 version of this module enables the use of view modes. This gives the user even greater control over customizing the output of the node block. Default view modes and links display can now be assigned per content type and then overridden at block/node level.

Drupal 6

Imagemenu

A simple module which allows you to create menus from image files. Supports title (displayed when hovering over a menu item), alt text, weights and optional mouseover behaviour.

eKudos

Ekudos is a Dutch Diggalike democratic news system. This module adds an ekudos link to you posts
See ekudos.nl for the site.
