This project is not covered by Drupal’s security advisory policy.

This module provides an API to allow related modules on the Modules page to be grouped under a single checkbox.

If your site's Modules page is growing uncontrollably in length and complexity, this module can help you simplify it. You can use the API to hide less important modules from the page, and make it so those modules are instead turned on and off automatically behind the scenes, exactly when they are needed.

This module was contributed by Acquia as part of the Drupal Gardens project and is currently maintained by the Acquia design and engineering teams.

Roadmap

Currently, this module does not do much on its own; it's primarily an API module for developers to use to simplify the Modules page (e.g. on particular sites). If anyone wants to write a user interface for it that allows a site administrator to manage which modules should be hidden, that would be an interesting contribution. (Issue: #1218388: Allow site administrators to configure which modules should be hidden)

Note that to properly use this module, the following Drupal core bug needs to get fixed: #1205684: Hidden, required modules cause a bogus confirmation message to appear when the modules page is submitted (in the meantime, you can apply the patch in that issue if you want to use it).
