Examples for Developers Follow the Examples project on Twitter: The Examples for Developers project has a Gittip team page. You can contribute financially to the project: Code Examples For Drupal The Examples for Developers project aims to provide high-quality, well-documented API examples for a broad range of Drupal core functionality. The Examples project contains many modules which hopefully illustrate best practices for implementing various Drupal APIs. Developers can learn how to use a particular API quickly by experimenting with the examples, and adapt them for their own use. Note also that these modules demonstrate internals for Drupal development in PHP (and some JavaScript). How To Use These Modules As Modules You can enable these modules just like any others.

Megamenu Notes: This module is in beta and under active development. Use on production sites at your own risk, and use caution when upgrading.7.x-2.x is the active development branch--new features go here6.x and 7.x-1.x branches are now bugfix only. Overview Mega menus are a type of drop-down, which seeks to overcome some of the usability drawbacks to traditional style drop-downs. The information architecture of your navigation is made clearer and is visible all at onceThe amount of clicking, searching, and navigating is reduced This module allows you to build mega menus by leveraging jQuery and the existing Drupal menu system. Shown to the right is an example of a mega menu taken from actionenvelope.com. What's the deal with Megas? What does this module do? This module takes any existing Drupal menu and produces the markup for a megamenu. Features Who is this module for? Who is using this module?

Migrate The migrate module provides a flexible framework for migrating content into Drupal from other sources (e.g., when converting a web site from another CMS to Drupal). Out-of-the-box, support for creating core Drupal objects such as nodes, users, files, terms, and comments are included - it can easily be extended for migrating other kinds of content. Content is imported and rolled back using a bundled web interface (Migrate UI module) or included Drush commands (strongly recommended). Status I'm afraid I've been very busy with project work and the Migrate in 8 effort and haven't been able to put Migrate 2.6 to bed yet. I am starting to catch up on the issue queue, aiming to answer a few issues at a time, a few times a week, prioritizing bugs>support requests>tasks/feature requests. Migrate 2.6 Release Candidate 1 is available. The most significant changes in Migrate 2.6: For a more complete list of changes, see the issues tagged as Migrate 2.6.

Cron Debug Debugging cron jobs in Drupal 7.x Cron Debug will help you find cron processes which fail due to programming or runtime errorstime out (PHP, server, database)are very slow Cron Debug will also allow you to test run specific cron functions while not running others. Please notice... Due to health problems (severe unfortunately - MS) I can't maintain my modules as keenly as I want to, and will in periods not be actively following up on issues. Cron Debug can run cron hooks while registering success and time elapsed for each. If a cron process times out, hangs or fails, you can see which ones finished succesfully and which single one did not finish properly by looking in the log when returning to Drupal's reports. A flag is set when the Cron Debug run is started and removed when it finishes succesfully and reports its results. Notice that your regular cron jobs will run as usual if you have set them up. Also notice that Installation
SimpleMenu Description This module creates a menu bar that is displayed at the top of every page. The menu bar is fixed in place and uses jQuery to position the bar, along with handling menu effects and adding IE compatibility. Very useful for themes that don't have a good place to put the navigation menu (although it can be used with any menu.) Documentation direct links SimpleMenu settings SimpleMenu Documentation & Known Issues I removed the upgrade information as it shouldn't matter as much now. Related Modules (if you have a module that you think is related, submit an issue and I will add it here) Cute Menu — Cute Menu is also a drop down featured menu. Mini-features modules — gives you some extra features not otherwise found in any module because those are so... mini! Nice menus — gives you a set of drop-down menus in a block for each one of your menus. Floating Manager Menu — gives you a nice little vertical menu window that you can drag anywhere you want on your page. Known issues Sponsor
stickynote | drupal.org - (Private Browsing) This module is meant to be a utility module for content admins. It could be useful for content authors/admins to communicate with one another about their content or keep a todo list on pages, thus the name stickynote. How it works This module simply creates a block with the ability to add, delete, and edit notes (ajaxified). Notes are stored on a per path basis and the block can be made visible to certain roles/paths etc... like any other block. Demo Try out the stickynote module now at the demo site. Differences from sticky_notes module: This module creates a block and allows adding/editing/deleting in the block rather than using the modal frame api and jquery ui to display the note. Please see the sticky_notes module (d6 only) to decide which solution meets your needs as they are very different approaches. Future plans: Drupal 8 can do this in core! Views + Content + Edit = Stickynotes! Note: A D6 Backport is not planned. Security Update:
Nice Menus Nice Menus enables drop-down/right/left expandable menus. It uses only CSS for most browsers, with minimal Javascript for IE6. (Version 2 uses the Superfish jQuery plugin for all browsers, with an option to disable JS, and falls back to CSS-only for browsers that can handle it.) Three styles/types of menus are currently possible: horizontal, menus drop down; vertical, menus fly to the left; vertical, menus fly to the right. Nice Menus creates blocks that may be associated with any existing site menu which can be placed wherever normal blocks can be placed in a theme. The module comes with a simple, generic color scheme which can be fully overridden either by adding the override CSS to the theme's normal stylesheet or by creating a Nice Menus CSS file and telling Nice Menus to use that rather than its own default one through the global theme configuration. Version 2 The 6.x-2.x version has many new features and some rewriting.

Frontpage This module allows setting a node as frontpage for anonymous and authenticated users. Users can be allowed to set the frontpage by setting the appropriate permissions. Once the module is enabled two new links will appear at the end of the node body (Set as anonymous frontpage, and Set as authenticated frontpage) for any content type that has been enabled, and for the users with the right permission; Two new node operations will appear at admin/content (Set as anonymous frontpage, and Set as authenticated frontpage) for any user with the right permission. Although there are modules with similar purposes, this one differs in that: It is possible to set a different frontpage for anonymous, and authenticated users.
