Module Customization

Forgive me Drupal, for I have sinned...

One of the key benefits of Drupal is that you DON'T (usually) need to "hack" away at existing code to customize it - you can use the hook_ and theme_ systems to add your custom code, thus making upgrading much easier.  Nonetheless, there were a couple modules that I needed to "hack" a little, just to suit my finicky tastes... These changes now need to be "re-implemented" any time these modules are updated (unless you want the old behaviour to revert)...

• Module     File                          Modification
• notify        notify.module        changed name on user's tab to "Notify Me"
• ads        ed-classified.module    changed name on user's tab to "My Ads"
• imce        imce.module            changed name on user's tab to "My Files"
• views   modules/views_node.inc  applied patch: http://drupal.org/node/163889#comment-587923
  (hopefully this will be fixed in next version of Views)
• views   views.module               added $view parameter to theme_views_more() http://drupal.org/node/227669#comment-756961
• date    date_views.inc           added new views filter http://drupal.org/node/230176
• lightbox lightbox2.module    theme_imagefield_image_imagecache_lightbox2 altered to use image title as the description text instead of the alt text.  Due to imagefield using image filename as default alt text - yuck.  Better fix would be to patch imagefield to use title text as default if alt text not set.
