Nancy's Web If you don't know where you've been, how do you know where you are?

The Utility< module is a grouping of commonly-needed utilities that are simple to code, everyone wants, but nobody actually codes them.

Right now, we have the following features:

Collapse the module page's fieldsets.

This utility automatically collapses fieldsets on the admin/build/modules page. This speeds up the enabling or disabling of modules, since only the set of modules you're interested in can be expanded for editing. Why wade through all your modules every single time you go to this page? Collapse them!

There is also a counter for each fieldset that numbers every module in that group and reports on how many are enabled. Example: Core - optional [9] of [23]

Module Weight

This utility allows you to change module weights without having to make the change directly in the database. Very helpful for development or modules that require to be run in specific order.

Permissions Fieldset Manager

Similar to the System Modules above, except this encloses the permissions (admin/user/permissions) for each module in a fieldset. Those may either be all collapsed/expanded, or individually.

Type Defaults

This is a feature that sets all publishing and comment options for all content types. It also has the ability to exclude certain types.

Log_Clear

Looking at your logs and wishing you could get rid of just "this kind of message?" Too lazy to fire up PHPMyAdmin to do it (isn't that what Util is for). In searching DO, it seems there are lots of others who would like this.

So here is a function that adds a "Clear" button in the "Filter log" field set on the "Recent log" page. Note: This does not show up on the Util page at all.

Logged_in_as

Ever code up a little block to show user id and maybe roles? Well, here it is. Note: This does not show up on the Util page at all.
