Administration

Bypass Forced Preview

Drupal core has the option to force users to use the preview button, before being able to submit content. This option is pretty effective to prevent certain bots from spamming your site. However, once this option is enabled, it affects all users, including trusted users and site administrators.
This module adds a new permission that may allow privileged users bypass forced post preview, both for content and comments.

Sub User

The concept of sub-users is applicable to places where we want to allow our members to create user below them - so that they can access the system (with limited access)

Administration theme

Drupal allows you to define a different theme for administration pages (Administer -> Site configuration -> Administration theme). By default this only applies to pages with a path starting with 'admin' and content editing pages.
The Administration theme module adds a few more option to the default configuration page like :
- Use administration theme for batch processing
- Use administration theme for code reviews
- ...
Some of these pages will only appear if they apply to your installation, i.e. you have the module installed which generates these pages.
You also have the option to define a custom set of Drupal paths or aliases to apply the administration theme for.

Input Format Manager

Improves the Input Formats administration page. Makes it less painful to manage, configure and test these sometimes tricky groups of input filters.
The default Input Formats management page can quickly have you tearing out your hair if you need to do anything even marginally complicated with input filters. This module builds on top of the Popups API to allow you to quickly configure and test your filter arrangments and settings.

Authoring aliases

The Authoring aliases module changes real author of nodes or comments uppont it's submission.
For example, it usefull when you don't want to show identity of your root user.

Role Change Notify

Send an email to a user when a new role is added to their account. The message is configurable with a number of tokens.
People have asked for this feature periodically. Development was sponsored by sparkleshelf.com.

Roboconf

The Roboconf Module is a theme development tool which stores presets of block configurations and theme settings, allowing a theme developer to easily switch between preset configurations and facilitating the development of more robust and less error prone themes.

Module supports

This is an implementation of #328932: Modules and partial dependencies - "Enhanced by" field in modules .info file. This module shows how modules can be enhanced by other modules by using the supports[] information in modules' .info files.

Http Request Fail Reset

At Tribute Media we have many sites in various stages of development. Sometimes upon returning to them I have noticed that Update Status has not checked for updates for up to 4 weeks. I then notice that the "drupal_http_request_fails" flag is set.
It is my understanding that when the variable "drupal_http_request_fails" is set the only way to get Drupal to re-attempt to make a request if to manually reset the variable. Drupal doesn't even check anymore until I reset the flag.
This module allows the user to configure when to check if the flag is set, and reset the flag. The interval is configurable from 1 minute to days or weeks.
When the interval times out the module checks "drupal_http_request_fails" to see if it is set to TRUE - meaning that no HTTP requests are being attempted - this module will reset the flag and log to the watchdog table. If the variable is set to FALSE - meaning that there is no problems making HTTP requests - it logs this to the watchdog table as well.

Navigate

Navigate is a module that adds non-intrusive navigation tools for site administrators, including customized ajax-based site search, a favorite widget and a collapsible menu widget. The Super Nav module was my first stab at this kind of tool, and Navigate is basically the second, improved version.
The best way to demonstrate what Navigate does is through a video demo, so I put together a 3 minute whirlwind tour of Navigate here: Navigate whirlwind video tour. There is a also a longer video on that page demonstrating additional features not covered in the tour.
Navigate tackles the main issues that Super Nav addressed without some of it's trappings, while adding in an API for widget building. Here's a quick list of the main features:
