When There's Not a Module for That:
How to Make (and Maintain) a New Module
Be a part of something bigger
(but not as big as all of Drupal)
Note: Build on or with some major —and with luck join a community of
Commerce
Extra Field
ECA
Search API
And friends including Facets and Better Exposed Filters
BEF Links Filter

Steal, and keep stealing
Note: If you decide your module should have one of those button links you see at the top right of a bunch of pages in Drupal's administration, you don't even need to know that they are called "Action Links" and find a tutorial on making them. You can just go look in the code of a module you know has them, grep for the label, and steal the code around it.
Note: Grep. Even when i am fully using an IDE for everything else, i grep in the regular command line when looking for text in a file. This habit is probably fueled more by failing to tell the IDE to index Drupal core and contrib modules more than anything else.
