Version 1.6 of Add Another Module for Drupal Released

Version 1.6 of Add Another Module for Drupal Released

By Robin Monks on April 21, 2010

Add another module has been recently updated with another new time-saving feature; you can now display “Add another” tabs on certain node types.  I’m also taking the time to think of what else can be done to make the usual node creation workflow easier for end users. I’ll be looking for suggestions on how to improve the [...]

Admin Role: Another Drupal Module That Just Makes Sense!

By Robin Monks on January 16, 2009

If you’ve been using Drupal for any amount of time you’ve probably ran into the problem of needing to go to the access page each time you enable a module to ensure the admin users have permission to make full use of it.  This is a module that I was planning to write, but then [...]

Why do I use WordPress for my personal blog?

By Robin Monks on November 11, 2008

It’s something I’m asked every now and then. “If I’m just making a blog site, should I just use WordPress, or should I still use Drupal?” To be fair, it all comes down in the end to a matter of personal taste. But, there are still some factual points on either side of the Drupal [...]

Drupal Redesign; Finding a freelance Drupal job

By Robin Monks on November 10, 2008

The Drupal redesign is continuing, and an interesting concept for the “Drupal Planet” has been released.  Called Drupal Digest, this new site created by Wim Mostrey uses a digg-style of article presentation.   Wim also made a great article recently called “Five resources to score a Drupal freelance job”.  It’s a great read, and was apparently inspired [...]

Drupal wordmark

By Robin Monks on September 23, 2008

Ought-o.  This can’t be good.   Drupal is getting a wordmark, and it looks very web 2.0.  It’s still going through it’s finial stages of development, but, I have some quick concerns about it. “This will not be a design by committee process – the Designer will have the final word”, that’s worrisome. Drupal is [...]

All not well in the world of Drupal themes?

By Robin Monks on September 11, 2008
