Modules

String Overrides

Provides a quick and easy way to replace any text on the site.

Features

• Easily replace anything that's passed through t()
• Locale support, allowing you to override strings in any language
• Ability to import/export *.po files, for easy migration from the Locale module
• Note that this is not a replacement to Locale as having thousands of overrides can cause more pain then benefit. Use this only if you need a few easy text changes.

OAuth

OAuth implements the OAuth standard for use with Drupal and acts as a support module for other modules that wish to use OAuth.

Version 3.x is an entirely new module, previously known as OAuth Common, that takes an extended approach to dealing with OAuth. Not compatible with older versions of the OAuth module.

Author Pane

Author Pane is a block of information about a given user, like those typically found on a forum post, but can be used in other places as well. From core, it collects the user picture, name, join date, online status, contact link, and profile information. In addition, any module or theme can feed it more information via the preprocess system. All of this information is then gathered and displayed using a template file.

Facet API

Overview

The Facet API module allows site builders to easily create and manage faceted search interfaces. In addition to the UI components that come out of the box, themers and module developers can build their own widgets that can optionally be contributed back to Drupal.org. Facet API works with the core Search, Search API, and Apache Solr Search Integration modules (including Acquia Search) meaning that code and configuration can be reused as-is with the most popular search solutions available to Drupal. Refer to the documentation for more details.

How to Contribute

Search API

This module provides a framework for easily creating searches on any entity known to Drupal, using any kind of search engine. For site administrators, it is a great alternative to other search solutions, since it already incorporates facetting support and the ability to use the Views module for displaying search results, filters, etc. Also, with the Apache Solr integration, a high-performance search engine is available for this module.
Developers, on the other hand, will be impressed by the large flexibility and numerous ways of extension the module provides. Hence, the growing number of additional contrib modules (linked below), providing additional functionality or helping users customize some aspects of the search process.

There is a screencast available, showing off some of this project's features. (Note, however, that it doesn't represent the current development state – e.g., facets can now be used with the database search, too.)

Nodeblock

This module allows you to specify content type(s) as being a block. This allows the content managers of the site to edit the block text and title without having to access the block administration page. Users only need edit access to that node in order to edit it.

We advice you to use this module together with Node Level Blocks or Block Reference module.

It is very handy to create a simple block content type and enable this content type for blocks and use these in place of the normal 'add block' functionality.

Now supports translatable content

If Content Translation is enabled, then only a single node block per translation set is exposed and the node from the translation set with the appropriate language is loaded into the block.

Other modules

There are several other modules and approaches that allow nodes to be presented as a block. See a comparison at http://groups.drupal.org/node/93499

Drupal 7

The Drupal 7 version of this module enables the use of view modes. This gives the user even greater control over customizing the output of the node block. Default view modes and links display can now be assigned per content type and then overridden at block/node level.

Real Name

The RealName module allows the administrator to choose fields from the user profile that will be used to add a "real name" element (method) to a user object. Hook_user is used to automatically add this to any user object that is loaded. It will also optionally set all nodes and comments to show this name.

SpamSpan filter

The SpamSpan module obfuscates email addresses to help prevent spambots from collecting them. It implements the technique at the SpamSpan website (a German version is also available). The problem with most email address obfuscators is that they rely upon JavaScript being enabled on the client side. This makes the technique inaccessible to people with screen readers. SpamSpan however will produce clickable links if JavaScript is enabled, and will show the email address as example [at] example [dot] com if the browser does not support JavaScript or if JavaScript is disabled.

This technique is unlikely to be absolutely foolproof. It is possible in theory for a determined spambot to harvest addresses from your site no matter how you disguise them. But research suggests that the by far the great majority of spambots do not bother to attempt to collect addresses which have been hidden using JavaScript. Indeed, most spambots cannot currently read JavaScript at all.

Here are a links to the results of a few experiments into the efficacy of JavaScript obfuscation. Let me know if you know of any more.

Email Registration

Allow users to register and login using only an email address. Users can then log-in using their email address and password for authentication.

WYSIWYG Filter

The WYSIWYG Filter module provides an input filter that allows site administrators configure which HTML elements, attributes and style properties are allowed. It also may add rel="nofollow" to posted links based on filter options. It can do so with no additional parsing on user input. That is, it may apply nofollow rules while parsing HTML elements and attributes.

Views data export

This module is designed to provide a way to export large amounts of data from views. It provides a display plugin that can rendered progressively in a batch. Style plugins are included that support exporting in the following types:

• CSV
• Microsoft XLS
• Microsoft DOC
• Basic TXT
• XML.

Advanced usage

This module also exposes a drush command that can execute the view and save its results to a file.

drush views-data-export [view-name] [display-id] [output-file]

Requirements

The batched export functionality of this module requires a MySQL database.
This module also requires version 2.7 or higher of views.

Similar modules

• Views Bonus Pack includes an export submodule that allows exports, but is not scalable for large data sets.
• Views Datasource allows exporting to XML/JSON among many others, but is geared towards small exports.
• Services Views provides ways of exporting views results as XML, JSON and CSV using Services.

Administration Views

Replaces administrative overview/listing pages with actual views for superior usability.

Features

• Filter all administrative views via AJAX.
• Perform any kind of bulk/mass operations on items in administrative views.
• Filter content by title, node type, author, published status, and/or vocabulary.
• Filter comments by title, author, node title, or published status.
• Filter users by name, ban/blocked status, or user roles.

Insert View

Insert View is a filter that allows users to embed content lists generated by the Views module into node bodies and blocks using relatively simple tag syntax.

Workflow

The workflow module allows the creation and assignment of arbitrary workflows to Drupal node types. Workflows are made up of workflow states. For example, a workflow with the states Draft, Review, and Published could be assigned to the Story node type.

Browscap

Browscap provides an improved version of PHP's get_browser() function.

The get_browser() function can be used to tell what a visitor's browser is capable of. Unfortunately, the version provided by PHP has a number of limitations, namely:

• It can be difficult or impossible to configure for shared hosting environments.
• The data used to identify browsers and determine their capabilities requires consistent maintenance to keep up-to-date.

Browscap automates maintenance by storing browser data in a database and automatically retrieving the latest data on a configurable schedule.

Browscap also provides statistics on visiting browsers.

Node import

Node import allows users to import content (node, user, taxonomy) from CSV or TSV files.

Domain Access

The Domain Access project is a suite of modules that provide tools for running a group of affiliated sites from one Drupal installation and a single shared database. The module allows you to share users, content, and configurations across a group of sites such as:

• example.com
• one.example.com
• two.example.com
• my.example.com
• thisexample.com <-- can use any domain string
• example.com:3000 <-- treats non-standard ports as unique

By default, these sites share all tables in your Drupal installation. The Domain Prefix module (for Drupal 6) allows for selective, dynamic table prefixing for advanced users.

Technical background

The module uses Drupal's Node Access system to determine what content is available on each site in the network. Unlike other multi-domain modules for Drupal, the Domain Access module determines user access based on the active domain that the user is viewing, rather than which group or site the user belongs to. For more information about Node Access in Drupal, see http://api.drupal.org/api/group/node_access/7

This module uses some advanced Drupal concepts and requires that you understand and control your site's DNS configuration. See this case-study or this more recent Row Eleven Wine Co. post for more details about using Domain Access.

You can also watch video of the DrupalCON Paris session "Managing Multiple Sites with Domain Access" (from 2009).

CCK Blocks

Field Visibility and Display Modes:

Since version 6.x-1.1 , the module does not hide the field in the node's content area anymore. You can do that for yourself in the display settings for your content type.

CCK blocks will define a display mode named "CCK Blocks", which you can use to configure the display of fields when they are appearing as blocks.

This allows you show the field both in the node's content area and in the CCK block, with different display settings.

IMPORTANT: Before any of your CCK blocks will show up, you need to set the field in question to be visible in the CCK blocks display mode! See "step by step", below.

Performance and Caching:

Since many users have experienced tremendous problems when block caching is activated (#400858: CCK Blocks appears to be incompatible with block caching), we decided to disable block caching for cck blocks.

If you wish to have block caching, please use the Block Cache Alter module to activate block caching for individual cck blocks.

Tokens

Block titles support tokens from the token module. You can make use of this to have a field as block, with another field value as the block title.

To do this you must download the contrib Token module for Drupal 7. The token module that comes in core will not provide the field tokens that you need.

Twitter Pull

Twitter Pull is a small module, the only purpose of which is to allow super-easy embedding of public twitter data like: a user timeline or twitter search results by hashtag or a search term. The emphasis is on making these very specific tasks as easy and straightforward as possible. The purpose of the module is not to be an end-all solution for Twitter.

Warning

This module uses an authenticated API to retrieve tweets. Twitter will be turning this off sometime in the near future and this module may CEASE TO FUNCTION. See #1781024: Make the Twitter Pull module work when Twitter turns off the version 1 API for more information.

Intended Audience

The intended audience of the module are developers and designers.

Usage

There're no authentication information or API Keys required. Module only interacts with non-auth APIs. In the end, it all boils down to a single function:

• @param $twitkey
  Twitter key, which can be a username (prepended with @) a hashtag (prepended with #) or a search keyword (no prefix)
• @param $title
  title passed to tpl.php. If you want title to be disabled, pass boolean False.
• @param $num_items
  maximum number of tweets to pull from the Twitter result-set. Can't be more than 20.
• @param $themekey
  

Nivo Slider

Nivo Slider provides an easy and eye-catching way to showcase featured content. Nivo Slider gives administrators three important tools:

• A simple method of adding slides to the slideshow.
• An administration interface to configure slideshow settings.
• Simple slider positioning using the Drupal block system.

HTML Purifier

7.x-1.0 Released! Now is the time to provide input into the next version #1831196: 7.x-2.x Roadmap

HTML Purifier is a standards-compliant HTML filter library. HTML Purifier will not only remove all malicious code (better known as XSS) with a thoroughly audited, secure yet permissive whitelist, it will also make sure your documents are standards compliant, something only achievable with a comprehensive knowledge of W3C's specifications.

HTML Purifier is very tasty when combined with WYSIWYG editors and is more comprehensive, standards-compliant, permissive and extensive than Drupal's built-in filtered HTML option, which uses a derivative of kses. You can read more about it at this comparison page. Want custom fonts, tables, inline styling, images, and more? Want just a restricted tag set but bullet-proof standards-compliant output? HTML Purifier is for you!

The HTML Purifier module is licensed under GPL v2 or later, however, the HTML Purifier library itself is licensed under LGPL v2.1 or later.

Mass Contact

About Mass Contact

The Mass Contact module allows anyone with the proper permission to send a single message to multiple users of a site. There are currently two ways to select users: roles and taxonomy. The Chaos tools suite (ctools) Plugin tool is used to expand the selection capability.

Features Extra

Features Extra provides faux exportables (via Features) of several site-building components.

Taxonomy

Drupal 6: Supports exporting taxonomy vocabularies. To export a vocabulary, install FE taxonomy, go to vocabulary edit page, assign it a "machine name," then export it with Features as usual. As a bonus, this allows you to edit the "module" property of a vocabulary. Views support (by machine name) is also provided.

Drupal 7: Exporting vocabularies is supported natively by Features in Drupal 7 so it has been removed from this module. If you need to export taxonomy terms in addition to the vocabularies, you can do this with the UUID Features Integration module.

Nodequeue

Only nodequeue definitions are supported. To export a queue, install FE Nodequeue, edit your nodequeue, assign it a "machine name," then export it with Features.

Block

To export a block, install FE Block, edit your block, give it a "machine name," export it with Features. You can export block settings (region settings, visibility settings, ...) of any block, and the content of blocks created with the Block module from Drupal core.

PHPMailer

Adds SMTP support for sending e-mails using the PHPMailer library. Comes with detailed configuration instructions for how to use Google Mail as mail server.

The main differences to the SMTP module are:

• Integration with Mime Mail module
• Improved bulk-mail performance through SMTP keep-alive connections (if supported by the mail server)
• Built-in e-mail rerouting option (useful during site building and development)

Fusion Accelerator

Paired with the powerful Fusion base theme, Fusion Accelerator puts easy point-and-click styling of basic Drupal elements within easy reach of site administrators. The philosophy behind the Fusion theming system hinges on applying Drupal’s inherit modularity to the theme layer. This system brings the ability to easily tweak the styling of a site, create new content or re-arrange a site’s layout to site administrators or builders who do not have traditional theming skills.
