Classification import (Handles the import of a classification)

Scratchpadify (Adds a few small customisations to a Drupal site to Scratchpadify them.)

  • 2010-12-10: Added a way of creating the update message that you are currently reading. This will help to keep you informed of all the new developments in the Scratchpad project.
  • 2009-09-03: Some other random pants.

  • 2010-12-10: Matrix Editor content filtering and field selection has been improved. You can now choose to edit content based on dates or terms. And if you have batch imported content, you can also choose to see all the nodes created in the last batch.
