Modules: Content display

Accessibility

The Accessibility Module allows hand-held devices access to a correctly formatted web site specifically made for mobile browsers from one code base. This means that the site owner does not need to create separate versions of the site.

With basic device detection this module selects the correct "theme" to use and generates content accordingly. The content is also broken down into smaller chunks making download on a phone, for example, faster and the site should be easier to use.

Content can also be limited by role with the help of taxonomy_access module.

Please note that the themes need to exist: (wap/mobi and web for 4.7) and modifications to
page.tpl.php and template.php. Demo themes are available here.

A stand alone mobile theme for Drupal v6 has been created March 2008. It hasn't been uploaded to CVS but you can get more details on the homepage: mobile theme for Drupal v6.

Also requires slight modification to common.inc include file, there is no patch yet but instructions can be found here.

Active Select

The active select module defines the activeselect form element. An activeselect element is the same as a regular select element, except that when the user selects a new option (or set of options), one or more different select elements (the target elements) get their lists updated. This is done using AJAX, and it is designed to degrade gracefully if the required JavaScript support is not present. The target elements can be either regular select boxes, or other activeselect boxes (which in turn can trigger other target boxes, which can trigger yet others, resulting in a hierarchical cascade of activeselect elements).

Don't bother installing this module unless some other module instructs you to do so.

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.

Advanced Forum

Advanced Forum is a "glue" module that provides a layer between the core forum module and all all the various modules that add the functionality found in stand alone forum software. It also handles theming and some functionality not covered by other modules. Because it is so heavily tied to the theme, it requires a PHPTemplate based theme to work.

AHAH Fragment

AHAH Fragment is a module which returns a specified fragment from the requested page. This allows users to create callbacks for AHAH functionality with little or no code.

When the module is enabled, any HTML fragment of a page can be extracted by simply adding a get parameter to the url describing the fragment desired. Fragments can be described using standard css selectors like 'div.node' or 'div > span.class + #someid'

The module also integrates with thickbox to provide developers and themers a way to create a callback for thickbox windows without having to write any PHP.

Instructions for use are in the README.txt

AJAX Views

This module provides a mechanism for a View block to have AJAX based pagination. There are other good modules out there that provide functionality similar to this (one standout that comes to mind is Dynamic Views) but I found that they did not either support paging the way I wanted, or did not provide highly flexible theme support, so I decided to give it a shot myself.

Quick-start:
To use this module:

• Create a view
• Specify a page view with any type
• Specify a block view with "AJAX Paging Block View" type
• Specify an argument of type "AJAX Views: AJAX Selector"

This module requires jQuery and it should work with the incredibly old jQuery included with 5.x.

Archiver

This is a simple module providing node archiving capabilities. Unlike the existing Archive module, the Archiver module allows for hiding of archived nodes from other pages, so that they are displayed only in the archive listing. Also the archive listing is different.

Archived nodes retain their taxonomy terms (categories) and the promotion status, so that if they are unarchived (moved out of the archive) they are displayed on the appropriate pages again.

Asynchronous Loading API

This Module enables both developers and end-users to introduce asynchronous loading into the normal node listing. This module was initially developed for the DevelopmentSeed and has now been made public for the drupal community.

The Module offers:

A themeable stand-alone Node Listing of all the nodes.
A Views integration for the async loading
Easy way for developers to load content Asynchronously
A Pagination system that works asynchronously(like searchmash.com).

Authorship Module

This module allows site administrators and privileged users to alter the way in which usernames are presented in the "Submitted on..." track at the top of posts.

Methods include drupal username (the standard way as used on all drupal sites), by Profile module textfield or by free text.

This module was originally sponsored by brashquido for www.iis-aiord.com

Backlinks

Backlinks module provides a wiki-style "what links here" filter for Views: give it a node id (via URL argument, for instance), and it will generate a list of all nodes linking to that node, courtesy of search module's index.

After enabling the module, two pre-configured views will be created for you: a "backlinks" view tab on each node page, and a backlinks block view, which generates a block with a list of backlinks on each node page (after you enable it at admin/build/block). With the Views UI module, you can configure these at admin/build/views; you may want to turn off the menu tab, add an RSS feed argument, change the view type, etc.

Note to users of Drupal 6 and later: Backlinks module has been incorporated into Views 2, and therefore the Drupal 5 branch of Backlinks will be the last. On Drupal 6 simply install the Views module and enable the backlinks view, or create your own using the "Search: Links to" argument.

Block Assign

This module provides an alternate way to manage blocks. If you have many blocks that are displayed in different configurations across your site's pages, managing them through the standard blocks admin interface can be tedious. For example, say you decide you want to add six blocks to three different pages based on request URI and four blocks (including two of the original six) to three other pages based on node type. This quickly becomes a frustrating exercise as you think through writing logic per block that will handle the overlap correctly. Block Assign simply provides another approach to organizing blocks.

Please be very sure to read the release notes before installing. They warn of (intentional) potential data loss as a result of configuring the module.

Block Cache

This module creates a cached version of each block. Block caching happens separately from page caching and so it will work for logged-in users whether or not page caching is enabled for the site. Cached blocks make just one call to the database and can therefore reduce the overhead required to render blocks that require complex queries and/or calculations such as some Views or Taxonomy-related blocks.

When this BlockCache is enabled, administrators will see a duplicate "cached" version of each of the site's blocks. By enabling the cached version (and disabling the original version), you can display a block that is physically identical to the original, but is loaded from the cache rather than calculated for each page. This can greatly speed up the rendering of a page. There are options for how and when the cache is refreshed and whether it is cached for the whole site or on a page-by-page basis.

The module was originally created by Jeff Robbins and sponsored by Lullabot.

This module is functional, however it is on hold while we find another maintainer. If you would like to adopt this module, help out in the issue queue, upgrade it to Drupal 6, and reap the fame and glory that comes with being a module maintainer, please contact Jeff. :-)

Block Clone

Block Clone adds a new operation in the block listing to every block to duplicate/clone an existing block defined by other modules. This gives you the ability to have the same block in multiple regions or with other weights on different pages.
