A "help tip" is a message or instructions that appears only on some pages. This module allows you to create help tips and configure where and how they are displayed. For example you could

• show a random tip on every page, or
• show a welcome message that users may hide once they've read it, or
• use your imagination

A module which auto-generates a skeleton or "scaffolding" for a module, along with hints on how to fill them in. Useful for newbie developers to learn how Drupal code works, and seasoned developers who are too lazy to look up what arguments a function has to take.

This module provides a means to keep track of how much time you spend on various tasks. It allows you create timers, one for each task you work on.

Use this module when you are running multiple Drupal sites from a single code base (multisite) and you need a different robots.txt file for each one.

What is image_exact?
This is a simple utility module which extends image.module and user.module to allow admins to set exact sizes for image thumbnails from image.module, and for user avatars.

Many site designs look better if thumbs and avatars are all square, for instance, or at least always have the same aspect ratio. This module lets you have that by cropping images equally from all sides until the correct aspect ratio is reached, and then scaling.

Image_exact is designed to be a simple, lightweight solution for sites that just want exactly-sized avatars and/or images handled by image.module. If you're interested in dynamic image handling, we recommend the far more flexible and powerful imagecache.

The Comment Mail module allows an email to be sent to the site administrator(s) when new comments are posted.
