Contributed (contrib) modules are plugins for Drupal that extend, build or enhance Drupal core functionality. Use matching versions (modules released for Drupal 5.x will not work for Drupal 6.x). Contributed modules are not part of Drupal core releases and may or may not have optimized code/functionality. If a module solves your needs please consider joining forces and helping the maintainer.

'me' aliases

Provides shortcut paths to current user's pages, eg user/me, blog/me, user/me/edit, tracker/me etc.

This means logged in users no longer have to know/remember their uid, and it makes it easier to link to user-specific pages from a site help page (without resorting to using php to put $user->uid in the link).

After installing and enabling the module, site administrators can specify any number of aliases containing the fragment 'me'. The module uses the menu system to replace /me/ in a request with the user's uid, and forwards the request to the newly formed url. Making an alias for user/me also enables user/me/edit, user/me/edit/Personal+information, etc.

About This Node

About This Node creates a block that displays information about the node you're viewing. It allows users to see, at a glance, the following information without clicking "Edit" or digging into revision history:

  • node ID (NID)
  • node type (content type)
  • creation date and time
  • creation author (user who created the node)
  • last updated date and time
  • last updated author (user who made the most recent change to the node)
  • published status
  • promoted to front page status
  • sticky status
  • commenting status (enabled, read only, or disabled)

Note: About This Node is not built with end-users in mind. Rather, this is an administrative tool to allow admins and other privileged users quick access to important information about a node. Requests to add end-user-facing features will be denied (with a friendly apology, of course).

Installation

This module, when enabled, creates a block that displays the information about a node. You will need to display this block in one of your theme's regions (at Admin > Site Building > Blocks).

Action email role

action configuration snapshot

I have not found an official "heres the way to email everyone in a certain role(s)" action, so I've cleaned some code and contributed it.

This module provides an action which is configurable to email everyone in the specified roles, it is much like the built in "send email" action however it allows you select the recipients as a list of roles.

Add and Reference

This module adds the ability to reference non-existing (new) nodes right from nodereference field when You're adding or editing the node.

It's recommended to use this module with a Form restore module. It simplifies the workflow and enables support for multi-step chained nodes creation - if the content type of new node have nodereference fields it is possible to add and reference from it and so on (up to 10 steps now supported).

Administration Menu Dropdown

Designed as a companion to the awesome Drupal Administration Menu module, Administration Menu Dropdown changes the way the Drupal Administration Menu is displayed. Once enabled the Administration Menu will be hidden. This default state can be toggled by going to the module's settings page. After pressing a key combination in your browser (Ctrl+Alt by default) the menu is dropped down from the top of browser's viewing area. Pressing the combination again will hide the menu.

The CSS of menu (using the position:fixed; property) is also altered so that it shows up anywhere on the page, not just at the top. This way it can be easily accessed at any time an administrator needs it. Unfortunately, because some browsers do not handle position:fixed; well (e.g. IE 6), this means that your browser might not work with this module.

If any of the Administration Menu extends down further than the browser's viewing area, the Administration Menu Dropdown can have its functionality disabled by pressing another key combination (Ctrl+Shift+Alt by default). Pressing the same combination again will activate the dropdown functionality again. If Ctrl+Alt or Ctrl+Shift+Alt key combinations conflicts with your browser/OS, the key combination can be changed in the settings menu.

Adsense Injector

Here's a useful Drupal module that works with the excellent Adsense Module to insert an adsense ad before or after a node's content when a node is rendered on a full-page or teaser view.

This allows site administrators to enable automatic injection of an adsense ad into the page without the content editor having to insert inline [adense] filter tags, or having to edit a site's node.tpl.php (or other template) files. This offers a big advantage, as you can change the ad format, group, and channel on the fly without hand-editing each node.

Advanced cache

The advanced caching module is mostly a set of patches and a supporting module to bring caching to Drupal core in places where it is needed yet currently unavailable. These include caching nodes, comments, taxonomy (terms, trees, vocabularies and terms-per-node), path aliases, and search results.

The module maintains a series of dedicated cache tables and utilizes Drupal's caching API to safely and effeciently cache data. The main beneficiary from these caching strategies will be authenticated users who have only one role (ie, non-admins). This is a group of site users that are traditionally unaffected by Drupal's page cache mechanism.

How it does it

Beyond installing and enabling the advcache module, you must apply some or all of the patches that come with it. The typical pattern for applying patches is:

  cd path/to/Drupal/
  patch < sites/all/modules/advcache/search_cache.patch

You may have to answer some questions about the locations of the files that are to be patched.

Here is a description of the included patches and whether there are any reasons you shouldn't use them:

Advanced help

The advanced help module allows module developers to store their help outside the module system, in pure .html files. The files can be easily translated simply by copying them into the right po directory. The entire system can appear in a popup or not as the module prefers (and by taking away access to view the popups, a site can force the popups to not exist).

The system ties into Drupal's search system and is fully indexed, so the entire contents can be searched for keywords. the help files can be placed in a hierarchy as well, allowing for top down navigation of the help.

By itself, this module doesn't do much; it requires another module to support it, but it does come with a nice little sample of text from Wikipedia to demonstrate the system.

Advanced User

Details

The advanced user module allows the filtering of users based on the user.module fields and optionally the profile.module fields. The fields available for filtering can be configured using the module settings. Eg. Site admin may search through 1000s of users to display all users who have not accessed their account.

Once the group of users with selected common denominators are filtered, the module can be used to perform functions that email, block, unblock, add or remove roles, or delete. Another nice feature is the ability to notify administrators or other roles, by email, of user account creation or profile changes.

Airplane Reservation System

This project aims to provide a simple but useful airplane reservation system with the following features (already implemented):

  • calendar view to see, when a plane is booked
  • administration of planes and pilotes
  • let users with special rights book planes for others (dispatch)

Furthermore planned features:

  • a more graphical view of the booked planes
  • waiting list, so a plane can be booked although it's already reserved at that time, but if the existing reservation gets deleted, the next one in the waiting list gets it (with email notification and so on).

Current ToDos:

  • internationalisation (currently only in german)
  • usablility and stability improvement

I am very new to drupal programming, it's a bit confusing still for me. Don't hesitate to offer support or add Issues or patches to this project. Help is very welcome.

Ajax Table

Overview

The Ajax Table module is an API-based tool that will allow other modules to create ajax-refreshable tables by supplying a few parameters. There are some handy utilities built in that aid in managing data more quickly than many Drupal modules offer by default. With an Ajax Table, it is easy to add ajax-based input columns to change data on the fly. There is also a utility that works similarly to an auto-complete field, but displays results in a fully customizable Ajax table, which supports pagination and in-place editing.

Annotate

Block Level Annotation

Make annotation can be done in several ways. With this project you are able to create

private note (annotate (stable: 1.0))
a private note to a node open for discussion with the editor or others.
editorial node (annotate_ed (release: 1.0))
make a editorial note about a node. Ie when the site editors don't want to remove a node but give it a warning at the top
paragraph marking annotate_bl (dev version )
make a note on a paragraph. This note is a node so ie og or i18n can be used

Annotate allows users to post personal notes on various nodes within the web site. For example, if you click on the most recent news story and scroll down you will see a small section called Annotate. If there is something that you need to write down about what you have read just write it there. It is saved and only you and the Administrator can see it.

annotate_ed allows 'editorial' users to post an editorial note. This note is placed above the node content.

Please download the module and try it out. And remember, I can't fix it if you don't tell me where the bugs are.

Roadmap

  1. implement annotate_bl asap

Anonymous Contact

This module provides a contact form that allows users to send an email message to the author of a node without knowing the username or user id of the author. Neither the contact form nor the "Send myself a copy" emails will reveal the name or UID of the node's author. The contact form is accessed at contact_anon/[nid] .

The module returns a 404 "Page not Found" error if the current user does not have permission to view the node specified in the url or the author of that node has chosen not to receive messages via the anonymous contact form.

Note: Aside from the contact form that this module provides, this module does not do anything to hide the username or UID of a node's author. It is up to the developer\administrator\designer of the site to make sure that this information is not revealed in places such as the node template or in any Views.

APC - Alternative PHP Cache

About

APC is two things. First it is an opcache and second it is a memory based cache. This module only handles the latter. This module overrides the built in caching in Drupal and uses memory based caching instead of database based caching.

Backup and Migrate

Backup and Migrate simplifies the task of backing up and restoring your Drupal database or migrating data from one Drupal site to another. It supports gzip, bzip and zip compression as well as automatic scheduled backups.

With Backup and Migrate you can dump some or all of your database tables to a file download or save to a file on the server, and to restore from an uploaded or previously saved database dump. You can chose which tables and what data to backup and cache data is excluded by default.

Security Notice backup files saved to the server are protected from the public by default by a .htaccess rule which will only work on correctly configured apache servers. If you are using a server other that apache, it is recommended that you do not save backups to the server or that you find another way to protect the backup directory from the public.

The module will attempt to check if the destination directory is publicly readable before writing to it, but users are strongly encouraged to confirm this manually by trying to directly download the backup files with a web browser.

Betterdate

As of the Drupal 6 release, this module is no longer supported. If you wish to take over support and maintaince of this module, please contact the author

In Drupal 4.7, 'date' type form fields cannot distinguish between required and non-required fields. In both cases, a user must enter a date, even if the field has been designated not required (e.g. a birthday profile field was set up as optional, but the user must still enter a date).

This module, once enabled, will silently find all date fields and exchange them with 'better date' fields. Better date fields allow users to enter null dates for non-required fields. For required fields, behavior remains the same. For the purposes of theming better dates appear as dates.
