  • Brief description:
    • Have you been using the new Navigation module in Drupal core, but wanted some of the useful links previously available in the Admin Toolbar Tools submodule? There’s a module for that
  • Module name/project name:
  • Brief history
    • How old: created in Oct 2024, less than a week ago by friend of the podcast James Shields aka lostcarpark
    • Versions available: 1.0.0-beta3 which works with Drupal 10.3 and 11
  • Maintainership
    • Actively maintained, already 3 releases
    • Security coverage - too new, but hopefully will have in time
    • Test coverage
    • Number of open issues: 8 “open” issues, 4 of which are bugs, but all but one of which are now marked as fixed with the latest release
    • Usage stats:
  • 12 sites
  • Module features and usage
    • With this module enabled, the new left side Navigation menu available in Drupal core will include links to clear caches (all or a specific cache), run cron, and run database updates
    • It’s a good example of a module that does something very specific and very useful, so I wanted to share it with our listeners as quickly as possible
    • I know these functions are ones I’ve been missing in my own Drupal 11 dev sites, so I’m looking forward to using this module right away
