Devel A suite of modules containing fun for module developers and themers ... Devel Helper functions for Drupal developers and inquisitive admins. This module can print a summary of all database queries for each page request at the bottom of each page.

Devel Node Access (DNA) View the node access entries for the node(s) that are shown on a page. Examples for Developers Follow the Examples project on Twitter: The Examples for Developers project has a Gittip team page. You can contribute financially to the project: Code Examples For Drupal The Examples for Developers project aims to provide high-quality, well-documented API examples for a broad range of Drupal core functionality. The Examples project contains many modules which hopefully illustrate best practices for implementing various Drupal APIs. Developers can learn how to use a particular API quickly by experimenting with the examples, and adapt them for their own use. Note also that these modules demonstrate internals for Drupal development in PHP (and some JavaScript). How To Use These Modules As Modules You can enable these modules just like any others. API.Drupal.Org You can also browse the documentation generated from this project on api.drupal.org. Browse The Repo Adapt The Code Core Only How can you help? I'm glad you asked:
Nice Menus Nice Menus enables drop-down/right/left expandable menus. It uses only CSS for most browsers, with minimal Javascript for IE6. (Version 2 uses the Superfish jQuery plugin for all browsers, with an option to disable JS, and falls back to CSS-only for browsers that can handle it.) Three styles/types of menus are currently possible: horizontal, menus drop down; vertical, menus fly to the left; vertical, menus fly to the right. There is a handbook page that provides a list of sites that use Nice menus. Nice Menus creates blocks that may be associated with any existing site menu which can be placed wherever normal blocks can be placed in a theme. The module comes with a simple, generic color scheme which can be fully overridden either by adding the override CSS to the theme's normal stylesheet or by creating a Nice Menus CSS file and telling Nice Menus to use that rather than its own default one through the global theme configuration.

Cron Debug Debugging cron jobs in Drupal 7.x Cron Debug will help you find cron processes which fail due to programming or runtime errorstime out (PHP, server, database)are very slow Cron Debug will also allow you to test run specific cron functions while not running others. This can be nice for developing cron functions where you don't want to run a full cron.php with all maintenance, alerts and other tasks every time you test your own function. Please notice... Due to health problems (severe unfortunately - MS) I can't maintain my modules as keenly as I want to, and will in periods not be actively following up on issues. Cron Debug can run cron hooks while registering success and time elapsed for each. If a cron process times out, hangs or fails, you can see which ones finished succesfully and which single one did not finish properly by looking in the log when returning to Drupal's reports. Notice that your regular cron jobs will run as usual if you have set them up. Also notice that Installation

Frontpage This module allows setting a node as frontpage for anonymous and authenticated users. Users can be allowed to set the frontpage by setting the appropriate permissions. Once the module is enabled two new links will appear at the end of the node body (Set as anonymous frontpage, and Set as authenticated frontpage) for any content type that has been enabled, and for the users with the right permission; Two new node operations will appear at admin/content (Set as anonymous frontpage, and Set as authenticated frontpage) for any user with the right permission. Only users with the edit frontpage permission, or the bypass node access permission can edit the node that as been set as authenticated (anonymous) frontpage. Only users with the set frontpage permission, or the bypass node access permission can set the frontpage for the authenticated (anonymous) users. Although there are modules with similar purposes, this one differs in that:
