These Are A Few OF My Favorite Drupal Things
- Posted by romina on April 21st, 2008
While it seems like the Drupal world is giving us a new module a minute, and the steady rate of module development is offering us both a virtual playground and digital shop of horrors. In my own hunt for functionality and feature, having fended off many a bug ridden code base, I have discovered quite a few can't live with-outs, and a whole slew of no-brainer modules that any decent site deserves.
These Are A Few of My Favorite Drupal Things serves as a growing collection of the many should haves from the digital kin at Drupal.org. And while I hate to take away from the following listed glory of said .orgs consistent success, I do think in the future I'd like to post another blog or tag on a smaller list of those other kind of modules we all know about. You know the ones. The ones in serious developmental need. Going behind the bugs into the world of Drupal gone wrong, my hunt for features and functionality has also lead me to quite a few desperate WTF moments that would also benefit from some blog relief. Before that time though, let's rejoice in the sacred and good with the best and brightest from Drupal.org.
Bookmark is one click away. Written in plain English tacked on your page, this little one sentence module says it all.drupal.org/project/addtofavorites
Alter CSS: No more editing style sheets outside of drupal the browser driven drupal work space. Have it tacked on to your theme configuration. Bonus is it makes a default style sheet back-up. drupal.org/project/alter_css
Backup is one click away with this handing stand alone module that takes your drupal installation database and all, zips it up and sticks it in a backup directory of your choice with a click option to save on your desktop as well.drupal.org/project/backup
Page declutterer for those in the know. Less page scrolling, more page honing in on exactly the specifics you want. Even separates forms into two sets for regular and advanced user. If tha is not enough also enables you to fetch altered versions of forms.drupal.org/project/formfilter
Got a group site? Want to know who posted last? It's all yours with rss feeds and image attach capabilities. Perfect for the site administrator who wants to know what's happening site wise. Even for a low key site this 2 second animation makes the most of your recent posts look active - great turnkey way to keep content fresh and moving on your page.drupal.org/project/last_node
