This isn't so much a quick tip as much as it is an ad for the phenomenal Admin module which I've recently discovered. It adds inline content editing, views administration, block editing, a newer and much improved administration section layout and a great toolbar at the top of all pages. Here's how to setup it up:
What you'll need: Admin module
How to do it:
- Install the module as you would any other module
- In your theme, add the following code just below the "body" tag in your page.tpl.php file
<?php if (!empty($admin)) print $admin; ?>
Now this will take a little getting used to. It does move a few things around. For instance, to set the Administration Theme, it is no longer in the Site Configuration. Instead you'll find it under a new menu called Appearance (makes sense if you think about it). You'll also have to set the permissions for your users to be able to use the inline administration of content, views, blocks, etc... Just take a look at the top of the Permissions page, the admin module should be one of the first few sections.
You may also want to disable the Administration Menu module if you're using it. It may conflict.
Hope you like it!
