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.

Jquery menu

Jquery menu uses simple, cross browser compatible jquery to transform your multilevel menus into click and expand menus. Yes this module is similar to dhtml menus and active menus, but it is different in a couple of key ways.

  1. Unlike dhtml menus (which requires you to click twice on a link to actually follow an expanded link) Jquery menus separates the link from the expanding mechanism (there is a small plus symbol that you click instead to expand the menu). This makes for a more natural navigation.
  2. Unlike active menus, which makes ajax calls to fill in the lower level menus when you click the plus symbol, Jquery menu creates the menu in full on the initial page load. I personally have used active menus for several months and have found that those ajax calls are not as stable as simple jquery.
  3. Unlike Active menus which transforms all menus into active menus once the module is turned on, Jquery menu only creates a jquery block for the menus that you specify. To chose which menus you want to be active you just have to visit the admin page at 'admin/settings/jquerymenu' .

Comment Display

Prevents rendering of comments inside of nodes and provides them as separate page element instead.
With this module, you can place the $comments variable anywhere in your page.tpl.php. However, if you do not output $comments in your template, no comments will be rendered at all.
Also, this is a nice and simple example of what can be achieved with the new menu system and theme registry in Drupal 6.x. Hopefully, this module does not need to be ported to Drupal 7.x... Any takers?

Views Charts

Provides a "charts" style output for Views module so you can render result-set not just as text (list, tabular) but as pie-chart, bar-chart, scatter-plot etc.

Dynamic Image

This module provides functionality for the creation of Dynamic Images to be used in place of textual buttons or titles where necessary in a theme.
The real advantage of this module is with sites that use Localization and Internationalization. Having dynamically created graphics, cached and loaded where it might usually be done via CSS or IMG loads, greatly enhances the administration of multiple text-driven graphics without having to manually create them in a program like Photoshop or any graphic editor for that matter.
This module was born out of necessity to add administrative flexibility to webmasters without need for graphic design work, uploading of images to the server and manipulation of code to add said graphics to site.

Theme setter

The module adds settings to force the frontend theme for certain content-types and certain roles. The reason why I built this module: in almost all designs that are too small or not fit to be viewed in an other theme than the admin theme, you can now enforce the frontend theme.
Example blog-posters (content-type) and forum-posters(content-type) will be provided with the theme by the designer. This is the enforce by content-type rule.
The other rule is enforcement by roles and works the same way.
Then there is an extra option that extends this algoritme where one rule gets priority to another.

Installator

Finally, a one-click solution for installing modules and themes!
This is the last module you will ever have to install by hand
Installator provides a simple and easy to use interface for installing modules and themes - from within the comfort of your browser.
Installator allows for two methods of installation: via Direct URL, or by file upload.
But wait! Isn't this a huge security hole?
No, in fact, Installator hardly touches your file system directly - only the temp directory for unzipping archives. Installator uses your ftp username and password to install the module or theme. For added security, Installator never stores your FTP password. This may be added as a feature in the future, but this way, you know that Installator will only touch your FTP when you tell it to, and more importantly, if your site were to be hacked, your FTP password wouldn't be stored anywhere.

Conditional Stylesheets

Allows themes to specify conditional stylesheets in their .info file.

Slide Show CS

Slide Show CS is a module which provides a block with a fancy slide show effect.
The module uses jQuery plugin Cross-Slide (http://www.gruppo4.com/~tobia/cross-slide.shtml).
Several parameters can be customized such as the images to display, zooming, position, transition...
Currently, the order of the slideshow is given by the alphabetical name of the file. (Thus it is recommended you name the files 01_somethinhere.png, 02_somethinhere.png...etc)
The image formate supported are the same supported by drupal core.
