What is it?
No need to explain. Everybody uses it! :D
What are its features?
Atm, according to its project page:
- Plugins
- Exportables
- Ajax responder
- Form tools
- Object caching
- Contexts
- Modal dialog
- Dependent
- Content
- Form wizard
- CSS tools
Where do I find the docs for using these? I.e. the API itself.
- Install advanced_help. Unfortunately, the documentation here isn't complete.
- For plugins such as Content Types, Arguments, or Context, you can check the plugins provided by ctools itself under ctools/plugins/.
- Check the comments on the files themselves e.g. ctools/includes/jump-menu.inc.
- Install the example modules provided by ctools specifically
ctools_ajax_sample, ctools_custom_content, and ctools_plugin_example.
Show me the money (or examples).
Extra: Check out Emmet. :D
