Top 5 Modules you should add to Drupal 5
WebWeaver64 - February 1, 2007 - 07:57
Reading through the site quite a few modules are suggested to install, however some of them seem to be prior to V5. What would you suggest for a basic overall site including articles, blogs, users, roles, and calendar. What would you suggest be the 1st 5 modules I should download.
TIA!

Thank you!
I found out about some great modules thanks to this thread (even though I'd checkt 'top module' blog posts and messages in the past).
My top modules to add:
- views
- cck
- contemplate
- pathauto
- jRating
Global Redirect sounds interesting, but why is it your top module?
It's not my "top module" but it's definitely in my top 5
First, when combined with Pathauto or the core path module, Global Redirect removes every unintentional sighting of "node" in URLs. Almost nobody knows (or should know) what "node" means and, from my point of view, users may perceive a website as being more complex or abstract by its use of unfamiliar terminology.
Module developers: please do not use the word "node" in the help text your module exposes to users!
Second, some search engines may sandbox a site if identical content is found at two or more locations on the same website. Global Redirect's documentation only mentions Google, but considering Google's current popularity there's really no excuse to not fix a potential problem. Getting sandboxed can kill a small business.
Standard for Any Drupal Installation
I've done quite a few Drupal installaions now, and all of them use the following:
That's the minimum for almost any installation, except if a site doesn't have comments enabled, drop number five.
Thanks for everyone else's suggestions, there are some good ideas there for me to try.
