drupal administration menu
http://drupal.org/project/admin_menu 6.x-3.0-alpha3 on 6.14
Main function:
Adds a practical, horizontal menu of drop down lists for all main admin items to the header, for quick navigation to individual admin items.
Works well. Saves time. Can also be placed elswhere.
Experience:
The font's a bit small. The instructions show where to change it in the css file.
It does appear to make your standard navigation admin go away. Not yet looked into how to have it back in case you want to use it...
Modification:
According to good instructions, to change the font size for the standard menu:
in sites/***/modules/contrib/admin-menu/admin_menu.css in #admin-menu, change the font size from default (9px) to, for example, 11px. Upload into the same place on server. (To change it for the enhanced toolbar do this in the similar file in the toolbar directory, thereabouts.)
Issue:
The admin menu has disappeared on one site, dis/enabling and un/reinstalling does not work.
Found this: http://drupal.org/node/605178, but it's supposed to be a duplicate of: http://drupal.org/node/420816 and the OP I don't quite understand. Not quite sure what the supplied patch 091112 does. Since I must apply it manually, just looking at it I'm deciding to postpone this. I'll have to do without the admin menu on that site.
After newly enabling a module, be sure to "flush all caches" to ensure all new module menu items get into the admin menu.
