MD Weegee

This works well if you have one weblog that is used as a “gallery”. Unfortunately this only works on a field whose Field Type is “File” – which is another 3rd-party extension by Mark Huot. In the MD Weegee settings, you enter one field id (the field id for the File field you have) – and MD Weegee will put a thumb from that field on the Edit page. This also only works with one weblog right now.

If you can improve on the functionality of this add-on, please feel free to clone/fork it and make it happen, captain.

This extension allows you to easily see what entries are expired – or set to expire in the future. A brand new dropdown is inserted in the search area of the Edit page so you can also filter by entries that are expired. Very handy if you use EE’s built in entry expiration!
