Which non-core module can not easily be removed?

spade - August 13, 2008 - 12:14

Hello,

I just had to remove some non-core modules, because our ISP only allows 10 MB RAM for script execution and there were five processes in memory which could not finish.

How do we know which non-core modules would cause trouble once they are removed?

Kind regards,

Frank

All modules SHOULD be

dman - August 13, 2008 - 12:57

All modules SHOULD be 'modular' and pluggable.
Certain ones have dependencies, but that is handled as you check the boxes in the modules admin page.
The only ones to worry about - that I've heard of - are some of the access control modules that may require a rebuild of the 'access table' when such a module is removed.
Or something like that. Sorry, I've not done it myself.
It's mostly safe.

That is really good news to me, and speaks for Drupal.

Thanks Dan.

I've run into MAJOR problems with the category module, just a warning.
