Seven Drupal Modules that help Themers Shine

Submitted by webthingee on Tue, 05/05/2009 - 12:00

Imagecache

project page
the world is a better place because of imagecache, imageAPI, and filefield image. Imagecache has more and more contributed/add-on modules... it is without a doubt the premier image handler in Drupal

Imagecache Profiles

project page
this little gem has saved me from delving into php code on so many occasions. The ability to consistently use imagecache is always a good thing.

Blockthemes

project page
the ability to allow the end user to change the display, mark-up, and overall style of the block allows for some fun and creative options when theming.

Nice Menus

project page
all set to go in a package ready for cross borwser compatibility. The newest version is in development but features some very nice delays.

Administration Menu

project page
o.k. not exactly a theming module, BUT, having this little dude at the top of the page, and being able to easily clear the different caches... rocks \m/

Theme Developer

project page
part of the devel project. it still has some issues as it seems to conflict with some other modules... a small price to pay when you need the information, power, and flexibility it provides

Views

(specifically Theme:Information)

project page
Under basic settings you will find Theme:Information and it's a thing of beauty! I only wish I was a million times better at php so I could take even more advantage of it.

but could you provide a little more context? Not just, here's what I use, you should use it too.

I'd add in the Vertical Tabs module, cleans up node form fieldsets nicely! http://drupal.org/project/vertical_tabs

After reading this I thought it was very informative. I appreciate you taking the time to put this blog piece together. I once again find myself spending way to much time both reading and commenting. What ever, it was still worth it. <a href="http://www.rackmountsales.com/Data_Center_Monitoring_s/59.htm">Computer Room Monitoring</a>
