Recently a client inquired about incorporating a map within their event calendar. For relevant events they already provide the address in a field, so how can we provide the visitors with a navigable map?

Custom Pagers module adds useful navigation to chosen nodes. The navigation can be displayed at the top and/or bottom of node's content, allows selection of specific node types, and further tweaking can be done with views. By default, however, custom pagers can only print <previous next >.

There are a number of solutions available for management of content display within a block, creating slideshows, tabs, etc. Sometimes a simple rotating message is needed, and can be accomplished with a few lines of code. This example has 4 quotes with css classes that can be further styled in the theme's css.

Google Analytics module allows for tracking by selected roles. What it does not natively provide is a mechanism to exclude specific roles.

To disable tracking for a particular role or even a specific user, edit Page specific tracking settings section. Choose Add if the following PHP code returns TRUE and enter the following code, adjusting the role names and the user IDs (uid). This could be also used for control of block displays, when displaying content to authenticated users but excluding a particular role.
