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 I discovered JacobSingh had already made it; Admin Role is…
In my wishlist last month, one of the items I had on my list that didn’t already have a solution, was the ability to have a message when a user created a node that would present them with a quick way to add another node of the same type.

Drupal 7 will access databases using PDO (PHP Data Objects), which allows Drupal to support many different Database Servers in the future (and will bring us one step closer to Drupal running on a SQLite3 flat-file database, woohoo!). A few people covered the patch arriving in…
One of my oldest non-committed Drupal core features is the deceptively-simply named “Add Referrer Banning“. It’s been around since 2005 when 4.6/4.7 was cool 🙂 It’s been re-rolled 5 times, the last to make it compatible with the HEAD that will be 7.x, that was March 3 of this year.
