Flag
#D7CX: I pledge that Flag will have a full Drupal 7 release on the day that Drupal 7 is released.
Flag is a flexible flagging system that is completely customizable by the administrator. Using this module, the site administrator can provide any number of flags for nodes, comments, or users. Some possibilities include bookmarks, marking important, friends, or flag as offensive. With extensive views integration, you can create custom lists of popular content or keep tabs on important content.
Flags may be per-user, meaning that each user can mark an item individually, or global, meaning that the item is either marked or it is not marked, and any user who changes that changes it for everyone.
In this way, additional flags (similar to published and sticky) can be put on nodes, or other items, and dealt with by the system however the administration likes.
This was previously known as Views Bookmark.
Features
- Create unlimited arbitrary flags or bookmarks to flag content
- Extensive Views integration to make lists of popular flagged content
- Full support for Tokens in all messages and labels
- Execute Actions when content is flagged past a certain threshold (Actions is now included in Drupal 6 core with no additional modules, requires 2.x version in Drupal 5)
- JavaScript based toggling of flags
- Limit flag display by content type and roles
- Optionally show each flag as a checkbox on the node form
Each flag provides data to the Views module, and provides a default view to list 'my bookmarks'. The default views are basic, but are easily tailored to whatever the system administrator would like them to do.
The module will come installed with a simple bookmark and two sample views for 'My bookmarks' both as a stand-alone page at "bookmarks", and a page for each user as a tab under their profile at user/x/bookmarks.

Upgrading from Views Bookmark
This module is a port of the Views Bookmark module. A list of API changes and upgrade instructions may be found on the handbook page for upgrading to Flag from Views Bookmark.
Written by Earl Miles, Nate Haug, and Mooffie.
IMPORTANT: When upgrading the module, either to a new official release or to a new 'dev' release, remember to visit 'update.php'. And if 'update.php' suggests no "upgrade paths", you should clear your Drupal cache.
