Modules: Content display

Contributed (contrib) modules are plugins for Drupal that extend, build or enhance Drupal core functionality. Use matching versions (modules released for Drupal 5.x will not work for Drupal 6.x). Contributed modules are not part of Drupal core releases and may or may not have optimized code/functionality. If a module solves your needs please consider joining forces and helping the maintainer.

Absolute src

When sending e-mail / using CDN/static file server, we often need to parse images to absolute url. This is why this tiny module exists.

This module only parse relative url to absolute url dynamiclly, and you can also set custom url when you have CDN/static file deliver server.

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.

Acidfree Albums

A full-featured media management system for drupal. This makes it so you can easily manage your photos and videos with drupal. Acidfree albums and media items are drupal nodes to integrate better into your system. It offers themeable drawing routines for albums and each media type so it can fit in better with the rest of your website. Items can be added individually (the drupal node-centric method) and also via a mass-import page that allows server-side directories of media to be imported or zipped, bzipped or gzipped archives to be uploaded and imported.

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.

Active Translation

The Active Translation module is designed for internationalized sites where translated versions of content need to be displayed when available but if they're not the original, untranslated content should be displayed. If several regional versions of a language are available these will be used as substitutions.

Activity

The Activity module keeps track of the things people do on your site and provides mini-feeds of these activities in blocks, in a specialized table, and via RSS. The module is extensible so that any other module can integrate with it. The messages that are produced are customizable via the admin interface and are context sensitive. Some theoretical example messages include:

You wrote a comment in response to "example comment title"
Jim wants to be your friend. Approve this friendship here
Nancy is Phil's latest fan

There is still quite a bit that can be done to contextualize the message, and working around irregularities in grammar is tricky, but clever admins will find ways to make meaningful generic messages.

The DRUPAL-5--3-0-BETA2 is the recommended version for new users of this module. There is not yet an upgrade path from previous versions, however, and your help with this is welcome. See http://drupal.org/node/218025#comment-726338 for the latest on this.

The buddylistactivity plug-in currently requires 5.x-1.1-beta.

This module has been sponsored by Sony BMG and Tree House Interactive Agency.

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 the 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.
Note: Version 2 adds the ability to choose which position mode you prefer to expand browser compatability.

Adsense Injector

Here's a useful Drupal module that works with the excellent Adsense Module to insert an adsense ad before or after a node's content when a node is rendered on a full-page or teaser view.

This allows site administrators to enable automatic injection of an adsense ad into the page without the content editor having to insert inline [adense] filter tags, or having to edit a site's node.tpl.php (or other template) files. This offers a big advantage, as you can change the ad format, group, and channel on the fly without hand-editing each node.

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.

Advanced Profile Kit

The Advanced Profile Kit works with Panels 2 to take over the user profile page allowing you to easily customize it using the Panels 2 UI. The content can come from bio, nodeprofile, the core profile module, and other sources. By using panels as a base, any item that can be added to panels can be added to the profile page by pointing and clicking.

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 Table

Overview

The Ajax Table module is an API-based tool that will allow other modules to create ajax-refreshable tables by supplying a few parameters. There are some handy utilities built in that aid in managing data more quickly than many Drupal modules offer by default. With an Ajax Table, it is easy to add ajax-based input columns to change data on the fly. There is also a utility that works similarly to an auto-complete field, but displays results in a fully customizable Ajax table, which supports pagination and in-place editing.

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.

Annotate

Make annotation can be done in several ways. With this project you are able to create

private note (annotate (stable: 1.0)): a private note to a node open for discussion with the editor or others.
editorial node (annotate_ed (release: 1.0)): make a editorial note about a node. Ie when the site editors don't want to remove a node but give it a warning at the top
paragraph marking annotate_bl (dev version ): make a note on a paragraph. This note is a node so ie og or i18n can be used

Annotate allows users to post personal notes on various nodes within the web site. For example, if you click on the most recent news story and scroll down you will see a small section called Annotate. If there is something that you need to write down about what you have read just write it there. It is saved and only you and the Administrator can see it.

annotate_ed allows 'editorial' users to post an editorial note. This note is placed above the node content.

Please download the module and try it out. And remember, I can't fix it if you don't tell me where the bugs are.

Roadmap

implement annotate_bl asap

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.

Audio FileField

This module adds Audio support to the FileField module for CCK. It will automatically detect if a file is mime type audio/mpeg, and take over from there.

In particular, it adds support for audio metadata, and allows automatic audio playback, if using the jQuery Media module plugin.

IMPORTANT: You currently need to apply the patches from http://drupal.org/node/255328 and http://drupal.org/node/255460 against FileField to be able to store and use metadata.

ADDITIONALLY: This module is experimental, and may be merged into an existing module, such as Audio or Media Field, depending on the direction of those modules. Use at your own risk.

Initial development by Aaron Winborn

TODO:
views filters for tags and other file info
migration path for audio nodes

Author Taxonomy

Author Taxonomy allows you to assign one or more authors to a node from terms within a vocabulary. This module also provides a fully themable byline that displays:

Author names in a serialized manner: "Jane and Jack" or "Jane, Jack, and Joe"
Links each author term to a page that lists all nodes tagged with that author
A fully configurable timestamp using the date() function's format strings

Installation

Before you begin, you should create a vocabulary for authors. Each term within that vocabulary will be an author's name. Because this module simply utilizes (and does not override or modify) Drupal's taxonomy system, you should configure this vocabulary to your liking prior to using Author Taxonomy. Here are some things you should do or consider when configuring your author vocabulary:

Assign the author vocabulary to all content types that will use it
Will you allow multiple authors per node? If so, you should enable Free Tagging or Multiple Select.
Will the author vocabulary will be required? That is, will each node of the assigned content types be required to list at least one author?

When you have configured your author vocabulary, you are ready to install the Author Taxonomy module:

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.
