module

UPDATE: a much better/easier way of achieving the same is now available. Read more at: http://www.freshblurbs.com/adding-drupal-django-and-jquery-support-espre...

Espresso From MacRabbit (you may remember them for their splendid CSSEdit eidtor) is a new Web editor, for Macs, worth paying attention to. It handles the usual suspects: PHP, CSS, HTML, servers over SFTP, Amazon S3 etc with style out of the box and has numerous extensions for other things like Python, LUA, SQL, Regular Expressions etc. And it's only 1.x version, so you bet you can expect much more in coming versions.

One little shortcoming it had, for Drupal developers is that, there's no easy way to configure custom-for-Drupal PHP extensions: .module and .install to make Espresso recognize these as PHP files.

Joe Shindelar of Dreamformula has posted a nice blog post detailing the configuration of custom PHP extensions in Espresso.

Thank you, Joe!

I finally got around developing a little, nifty Drupal module I've been craving for, for a really long while now. The "Edit Block" module adds inline block editing capability to any theme. It's entirely jQuery-based, hence - no dirty intrusive theming hacks are necessary and is compatible with most properly built Drupal themes.

Some nice themes do provide similar capabilities, but most - do not and adding it is no fun, so now there's a module that does it all for you.

Enjoy

Quick Note: the Administration Menu module in Drupal seems to have some weird bug in ver. 5.2.5 which causes menu items listing to disappear on admin/build/menu configuration page.

Solution: disable and remove Administration Menu module, download 5.2.6 or later version, install that one. If the problem persists run "menu_rebuild();" from hook_init() of any module or even from page.tpl.php. Problem should be gone.

Enjoy.
