December 27, 2007 at 14:1814 modules for Drupal that you should know about
In continuation of the topic about Drupal I want to provide a somewhat expanded overview of modules. With the help of some of them, you can build not just a standalone blog, but a community with elements of sociality. The list, of course, does not claim to be complete and is based only on the personal experience of the author.
So, here they are:
1) CCK is one of the most powerful and also useful modules that allows you to change the way you want (as well as add a new) data type template (node).
2) Views is also a very useful module that allows you to change the algorithms for displaying information on the site, as well as create your own (for example, you can display the list of users at your discretion by pulling the necessary fields from the profile there).
3) Update Status - a very useful module that monitors module updates and timely informs the administrator about them.
4) Tagadelic - allows you to create your favorite tag cloud.
5) Click2bookmark - allows you to organize the favorites section for users of the site (as on a hub).
6) Privatemsg - allows you to organize internal mail on the site.
7) Organic Groups - allows you to create and participate in groups (communities, interest groups).
8) Notify - allows you to organize the distribution of notifications of changes in content on the site by e-mail.
9) Guestbook- allows you to create a guestbook. I think that in our time guest books are no longer relevant, but this module is useful, for example, to create the so-called “wall” (you can see it on well-known social networks) - the ability to leave messages directly in the user's profile.
10) Invite - do you want to organize an entry on the site "by invitation only"? No problem, this module will help you (a la leper colony :).
11) JQuery Update - allows you to update jQuery, which comes in the standard Drupal package, while solving backward compatibility problems (at the moment, you can upgrade to version 1.1.2).
12) Simple Karma- a very interesting module that allows you to organize the possibility of evaluating materials and comments, while organizing a rating system - for each vote received, the user also receives a karma score (although here it is more appropriate to call it all “rating”). Everything works about the same as on the hub - up / down, plus / minus. =)
I want to note that this module has some errors so far. Also, for example, it requires jQuery 1.2.1 to work, but Drupal 5.x does not support this version. I was able to get this module to work in conjunction with the previous one (although not 100% good).
13) Smileys is a small module that allows you to do auto-replace text emoticons with graphic ones in messages and comments. All bindings can be customized.
14)Buddylist - allows you to organize friends lists. A must for any community.
I didn’t want to repeat myself, but I would like to mention the necessary modules (for me) that are listed at the beginning of the article: Monthly Archive, Read More Tweak, BUEditor, Captcha.
That's all for now, I continue to study Drupal, I hope that soon there will be new material that I will certainly share. :)
