Better Formats

I happened to stop by DrupalModules.com today and to my surprise I found that one of my Drupal modules, Better Formats, is currently #1 in the "Top Rated" list.

I know this means little but it is still nice to see one of my modules at the top of a list.

If you have never checked out the Better Formats module, I encourage you to do so. If you like it or hate let me know.

Better Formats 1.0 stable has been released. Actually, I it was released last month but I haven't got around to writing a post about it yet.

If you have not tried Better Formats out yet, I encourage you to give it a spin. If you have ever wanted/needed to tweek the format selection system in Drupal this is the module for you.

Here are some of its features:

• Set the default format per role.
• Set the default format per content type.
• Control allowed formats per content type.
• Hide format tips.
• Hide more format tips link.
• Hide format selection, forcing the default to be used.
• Expand the selection fieldset by default.
• Disable the expand/collapse of the selection fieldset.
• Set selection fieldset title.
• Set more format tips link text.
• Set default formats for nodes and comments separately.
• Sensible defaults and fail overs for ease of use.
• Works with CCK textareas.
• Works with Panels comment form.
• i18n module support for user defined strings.

Below is a screenshot of one the configuration screens.
