i can simplify this a little - The filters tend to be more in line with the general function of a mambot. http://drupal.org/project/Modules/category/63/ see the link - it should help to make sense of this question a bit more. Drupal Indonesia wrote:

I want to extend blogger.module with blogheader feature. What do I need is something like mambot in Joomla. The mambot can add on before/after a page. So, when use click on http://localhost/drupal/blog/2 then the Blogheader (this is a new field on the user profiles) will be displayed on the top of this blog page.
I need any doc or link that can help me doing this task in Drupal. Better if oen can show me any Drupal module that work like mambot.
A Mambot is a "small, task-oriented function for Joomla! software. Joomla! mambot intercepts content and manipulates it in some way before it's displayed. Joomla! provides a number of Mambots in the core distribution."
Therefore, there are many ways in Drupal to do these things:
- hook_init() http://api.drupal.org/api/4.7/function/hook_init
- hook_footer() http://api.drupal.org/api/4.7/function/hook_footer
- Conditional PHP in page.tpl.php
As a new dev I am searching almost all module that works like mambot. Unfortunately, Drupal module page has no classification/category, thus difficult for me to pick the right one. Could you help me point to any sample module that works like mambot? also, the hook_init() http://api.drupal.org/api/4.7/function/hook_init contain too small info for a new dev like me. Regards.
