Taxonomy Menu Version 3

This is an exciting time for Taxonomy Menu.  I have just released the new UI that will be the base for creating menus in version 3.  The plan for the new API will allow any module to use the UI to create the menu structure, but give them the ability to create the menu in their own method.  No longer will you be restricted to only menu links.  You will be able to create blocks, HTML, or any other Drupal structure from taxonomy terms.

As of version 3, Taxonomy Blocks and Taxonomy Navigator will be merging with Taxonomy Menu.

Please join in the dicussion.

You can see a screencast of the new UI here.

I hope to hear from all of you!

Comment Moderation: Part Two, adding the Actions

In my last post, I walked through the high level plan for the Comment Moderation feature. We came up with a summary of tasks. In this post we will be creating the views and actions. Below is the list of the tasks, bolded tasks are being tackled today.
Create View with 2 page panes.

Node Reminder Module

Today I released the Node Reminder module.  The Node Reminder module was based upon the code for the Post Reminder module.

The idea behind the Node Reminder module is to have a very simple way to remind you to look at a particular node to update the content.  An example use case would include licensing issues where you may have rights to use an image for only one year.  Setting the reminder for 11 months gives you time to either delete the post or update the image.

    Features
  • Allow Reminders per content type.
  • Template for email Subject and Body with Tokens integration.
  • Views integration.
  • Actions integration.

You can make an administration page using Views Bulk Operations.

Comment Moderation: Part One

In the last post, I walked through the Views Bulk Operations module.  My initial plan was to write this post about actions, but  after researching how to best write about actions, I found a ton of detailed information about how to make an action. 

So instead of walking through Actions in detail, I'm going to walk you through plan for the comments moderation feature.  The next post will have the comment moderation actions and views, and the final post will discuss the integration with other modules.

Requirements for the comment moderation feature are:

Using VBO and Actions to manage your content – Part1: VBO

Did you ever find a Drupal feature that was so incredibly simple and easy to use that you were sure that everyone else already knew about it? Using Views Bulk Operations (VBO) together with Actions was one of the moments for me. Asking around to my fellow developers, I discovered that the use of the combination of VBO and Actions is common. In this blog series, I am going to walk you through using VBO and Actions to create some kick-ass administration forms. First we will look at the basic concepts around VBO and Actions, then I will show you 2 examples: comment administration and user administration. Both will be made available as a feature.

Part 1: Views Bulk Operations

Views Bulk Operations is a contributed module by kratib. There is a good general description of VBO on the project page:
