Druplicon is a PHP IRC bot that has been servicing #drupal, #drupal-support, and many other IRC channels since 2005, proving itself an invaluable resource. Originally a Perl application coded by Morbus Iff, he always wanted to make the official #drupal bot an actual Drupal module. This is the fruit of these labors. Whilst the needs of Druplicon are driving the future and design of the module, this is intended as a generic framework for IRC bots within Drupal, and usage outside of Druplicon is encouraged.
Provides shortcut paths to current user's pages, eg user/me, blog/me, user/me/edit, tracker/me etc.
This means logged in users no longer have to know/remember their uid, and it makes it easier to link to user-specific pages from a site help page (without resorting to using php to put $user->uid in the link). Drupal 7:
Uses core token support but depends on the Token module for listing available tokens.
Drupal 6:
In Drupal 6, site administrators no longer need to specify their aliases. The me module will find most places where a user id can be passed via the menu, and will allow those menus to work properly with the 'me' alias in place of the user id. Site admins can alter how me handles these paths on the me settings page. Available options are:
Provide the ability for admins to control if links for tabs etc.. are rewritten with the 'me' alias.
Provide the ability for users to choose if they want 'me' alias on their account (Provided the admins turn on the option).
Allow admins to choose if 'me' should redirect to the path with the uid, and not stay on the 'me' aliased path.
Viewfield provides a field that holds a reference to a View and renders it whenever the entity containing the field is displayed.
Features
Author chooses one or more views and displays from a list.
View arguments (contextual filters) may be supplied literally or through tokens.
Administrators may restrict which views and displays may be assigned.
Administrators may supply default values that will be used for all entities in a bundle, making it unnecessary to supply field values for each piece of content.
