Question: Any Extensions that Modify the Publish Tab?
Development and Programming
I’ve tried searching, and I’ve come across two others that have ask or indicated that they might start an extension; but I can’t seem to find any extensions that modify the display of information on the “Publish Tab”. Does anyone know of anything?
What I’m looking for is the ability to also display either or both the short weblog/section name, and the description or at least a certain number of characters of the description ( I wouldn’t want to introduce horizontal scroll), additionally, and what I really, really want is to see the number of posts per weblog/section.
So my vision is, clicking on the Publish Tab, would then show the weblogs formatted like:
Choose a Section to Post In…
Section Posts Description
...........................................................................
About 10 Updates to Mission, Goals, or Funding. Mostly Static Content
English 2453 English version of publications—brochures, pamphlets, guides, etc.

I can’t promise profits, but I can promise undying gratitude and lots of gratuitous comments about your greatness. Of course my clients won’t know who you are, but they will know I think you’re wonderful.

I’ll bump this myself. I have the MySQL query, I’m just not certain how to make this an extension or even which hooks are available.
The query is
SELECT blog_title AS section, blog_name AS alias, COUNT(title) AS posts, blog_description AS description
FROM exp_weblogs
LEFT JOIN exp_weblog_titles
ON exp_weblogs.weblog_id=exp_weblog_titles.weblog_id
GROUP BY exp_weblog_titles.weblog_id
ORDER BY blog_title ASC;
