14 modules for Drupal, which you should know
In continuation of the topic of Drupal, I want to provide a somewhat expanded overview of the modules. With the help of some of them, you can build not just a standalone blog, but a community with elements of sociality. The list, of course, does not claim to be complete and is based only on the personal experience of the author.
So, here they are:
1) CCK is one of the most powerful, as well as useful modules, which allows you to change the way you want (as well as add a new) data type template (node).
')
2) Views is also a very useful module that allows you to change the algorithms for displaying information on the site, as well as create your own (for example, displaying a list of users can be done at your discretion by pulling the necessary fields from a profile there).
3) Update Status is a very useful module that monitors module updates and informs the administrator about them in a timely manner.
4) Tagadelic - allows you to create your favorite tag cloud.
5) Click2bookmark - allows you to organize a section of favorites for users of the site (as in Habré).
6) Privatemsg - allows you to organize internal mail on the site.
7) Organic Groups - allows you to create and participate in groups (communities, hobby groups).
8) Notify - allows you to organize the distribution of notifications about the change of content on the site by e-mail.
9) Guestbook - allows you to create a guest book. I think that in our time guest books are no longer relevant, but this module is useful, for example, to create a so-called “wall” (seen in well-known social networks) - the ability to leave messages directly in a user profile.
10) Invite - do you want to organize the entrance “by invitation only” on the site? No problem, this module will help you (a la leprosarium :).
11) JQuery Update - allows you to update jQuery, which comes in standard Drupal, while solving the problems of backward compatibility (at the moment you can upgrade to version 1.1.2).
12) Simple Karma is a very interesting module that allows you to organize the possibility of evaluating materials and comments, while organizing a rating system - for each vote received, the user also receives a score for karma (although it is more appropriate to call this all “rating”). Everything works about the same as on the habre - up / down, plus / minus. =)
I want to note that this module still has some errors. Also, for example, it requires jQuery 1.2.1 for its work, but Drupal 5.x does not support this version. I was able to make this module work in conjunction with the previous one (although not 100% good).
13) Smileys is a small module that allows you to do auto-replacement of text emoticons for graphic messages and comments. All bindings can be customized to your liking.
14) Buddylist - allows you to organize lists of friends. Necessary thing for any community.
I didn’t want to repeat myself, but I would like to point out the modules that are quite necessary (for me), which are listed in the link at the beginning of the article: Monthly Archive, Read More Tweak, BUEditor, Captcha.
That's all for now, I continue to study Drupal, I hope, soon a new material will appear, which I will certainly share. :)
