Your Weekly Devot:ee - March 31, 2011

devot:ee

We made some tweaks to the site this week, one of which was adding a new add-on category for Control Panel Themes.

  • Crosslinking ($, for EE2) by IntoEEtive (Yuriy Salimovskiy)
    Crosslinking extension can automatically turn the text into links using a pre-defined set of rules. It works both for channel entries and forum threads.
  • Structure Navigation Title (for EE2) by Brian Litzinger
    Structure Navigation Title creates a global variable to use as the channel:title parameter in your {exp:structure:nav} tag.
  • Freeform Anti-Spam (for EE2) by Vaya Design
    Freeform Anti-Spam protects your forms from spam submissions without making legitimate users jump through hoops with CAPTCHAs and the like. If you would prefer not to block spam submissions entirely, FAS can be configured to flag spam, so you can easily filter it out when it hits your inbox.
  • Nerdery (for EE2) by Brian Litzinger
    This is basically an anti-pink theme. It is intended to remove all the pink from the control panel, reduce the cartoonish rounded corners to something a bit more professional, and clean up some general alignment/padding/margin issues. It is not intended to be a huge overhaul, but instead a redux. It is a work in progress, though very usable. It will be kept light and very much in the spirit of the default theme.
  • NSM Override CSS ($, for EE2) by Leevi Graham (Newism)
    The current default CP design isn’t to everyones tastes. Override.css is a stylesheet that takes the default CP theme and adds consistency, improved contrast and greater user experience for content managers and ExpressionEngine implementors.
  • Pages Autocomplete (for EE2) by iain
    A simple accessory that turns the ‘Pages URI’ field on the publish page into an autocomplete text input.
  • GWcode Alternate (for EE1 & EE2) by Leon Dijk (GWcode)
    This simple plugin for ExpressionEngine 1 and 2 lets you rotate through any number of values to create alternations, for CSS classes for example.
  • Super Globals Lite ($, for EE2) by Brian Litzinger
    Super Globals Lite gives you quick and easy access to POST and GET variables in your templates without having to enable PHP.
