Field labels should be number of items / plural aware

Ideal would be on the field settings, or possibly the field display settings, you can set what the singular and what the plural should be.

I don't think automatic adding of an s would work so well.

Point is you have a link field for entering web sites, it should say web site if there is one and web sites if there are multiple.

Problems upgrading a Drupal site with Webform from 6.x to 7.x (Webform in 7 does not upgrade to 3.x from 2.x)

Short version: Upgrade webform to 3.x first, while still on your Drupal 6 site.

Went back to the database that i swear i dumped right after upgrading. And the system table has version 7.0 core modules in it, so it's not like i accidentally

Use Drush to sync files from one site to another

Believe it or not, this is the function you want:

core-rsync (rsync) Rsync the Drupal tree to/from another server using ssh.

For example:

drush rsync @example.stage:%files @example.local:%files

Can't do remote to remote though.

Setting parts of complex (nested) variables with Features

The biggest problem is likely complex variables in the variable table (nested arrays which become serialized). Here is a solution for changing only part of a complex variable: http://groups.drupal.org/node/52588#comment-144213 (if this doesn't work or is awkward, i have a similar solution that i can dig up, but i believe mine is less robust).

I think drupal_array_merge_deep() may be the function we want to use in these cases.

Better Image Insert Workflow

A truly slick configuration of Insert and Image Resize Filter would disable insert if the img tag is not available for the selected text format.

Add Book Module Style Next & Previous Links to non-book content

Solution

This should be the only time i do this on data, but the solution to this is in the Definitive Guide to Drupal 7– buy it! It's in the Other 90% chapter.

Background

Adding next & previous links for node types within taxonomy terms (e.g. Image Galleries)

An Online Account / Social Media field type

You enter your username or ID and check off all the places it applies: Twitter, Facebook, IRC, etc.

There's a bit of a pitfall for places like drupal.org where your profile URL is not based on the username.

Or should it be entirely do-it-yourself?

My username/ID is:
