Contributed Modules

Install Additional Modules

Do you need additional Modules for the site? Review modules possibilities on drupal.org. Note that you need to log in to take full advantage of this list.

Modules

Modules are plugins that add specific functionality to your site. Core modules are part of the official Drupal application, others are optional. Most are developed by volunteers. Some modules build on other modules, so when you choose a module you also have to download the modules it requires.

To make it easier to find modules you can search by name or by category of functionality. For instance, if you want to add a calendar to your site, look under Events. There you'll find a brief description of Calendar, including its required modules, Views and Date API.

Installed modules have been downloaded (see public_html), and then "extracted" or uncompressed to ./sites/all/modules. This keeps your downloaded, optional modules separate from the Drupal installation itself.

Enabled modules are those actually functioning on the site. This is done through the Administer > Site Building > Modules

Minimal List

• Admin Menu - helps while administering site; invisible to users
• Advanced Help
• Calendar
• CCK and some other CCK Modules
• Pathauto
• Token
• Views
• Image (allows images and image galleries) and its required module Image Assist (which allows users to upload images)
  • after installed, create Image Gallery, then create content (image), being sure to indicate if it belongs in a Gallery or not.
  • Also make sure that images, image galleries are enabled in Content menu
  • Ignore this unless you get a file-doesn't-exist problem when you try to enable image import. If you have trouble creating files/images/import, just create files/imgimport and change where Drupal expects to find this.
