How to Configure Modules in Drupal 6

Obviously, the nature of the setup for one module can differ wildly from the next. This is because modules can provide nearly any type of functionality imaginable, ranging from a simple poll to a search engine, or whatever. Accordingly, there are a host of different settings associated with each one.

The inherent broadness of function associated with modules means that the configuration and use of each one can also vary greatly. Because of this, it can be quite confusing at first to find out where to go in order to administer or make use of any changes implemented by a module.

Luckily, we can go back to the main administration page and view all the administrative tasks by clicking on By module. Navigating to this section will now present the configuration options associated with each module, including the latest one, the DHTML Menu:


Clicking on the DHTML Menu option brings up the following dialog that can be used to control the appearance and how certain menu items behave and are displayed. For example, you may have noticed that the Administer menu item appears twice in the DHTML navigation—remove this by deleting admin from the text area provided. Doing so means you have to double-click on Administer in order to open up its page.
