We developed Hop Inject to solve a very common but tricky problem: We wanted to place an advertisement after the third paragraph on a page. But, since this is EE we’re talking about, of course the third paragraph was in an entry custom field, and it was hard to add at run time. In addition, we thought, what if we wanted to add a photo after the fourth paragraph? Or another advertisement after the tenth paragraph? Or a pull quote after…

This ExpressionEngine module logs each time a website visitor encounters a 404 error page, recording what URL the website visitor came from, and what page they were trying to get to. As well as creating a file log, the module allows you to receive email notifications of 404 errors,…
Standard pulldown menus make it easy to re-use common data without a mistake, and to help you choose from pre-determined options. But wouldn’t it be nice if you could also add to the menu without having to go off into the administrative sections of EE? With Hop Super Pulldown, you can!
Super Pulldowns function the same as a standard EE selection menu, but you can also choose to add a brand new option within the entry editing screen. And…

Hop Minifizer takes your site’s CSS, Javascript and even SCSS files, and it combines them, compresses them, saves them as disk files locally (or even on Amazon S3), so that your site loads and displays far more quickly, but your development process is still modular and easy to manage. This add-on is based on Minimee, by John D. Wells, and adds additional functionality.
