High-performance replacement for the standard Drupal tracker. There's no change in functionality or new features, but the architecture is absurdly fast. Displaying the tracker scales at a roughly logarithmic pace with the number of nodes. Saving nodes and comments takes a bit longer, but this impact is highly optimized. Use MySQL with InnoDB or PostgreSQL for best results; row-level locks are essential for the best performance. Tracker 2 (as of version 1.13) now has experimental PostgreSQL support.
This module can coexist with the core Tracker, but you will see what appear to be duplicate menu items and tabs. If the core Tracker is disabled, Tracker 2 will take over the standard /tracker and user/%/track URLs.
Tracker 2 powers the Drupal 6 Drupal.org tracker pages.
This module will not be ported to Drupal 7 because the improvements here were incorporated into Drupal 7's core. See #105639: Tracker performance improvements for more details.
Complex websites and web applications can be created by combining configurations of Modules, Content Types (CCK,) Views, Panels, Menus, Blocks, Categories, Roles / Permissions, etc. This site setup and configuration process is a very time consuming and repetitive bottleneck.
Patterns module is built to bypass this bottleneck by managing and automating site configuration. Site configuration is stored in XML or YAML (requires SPYC YAML parser, which needs to be downloaded separately from http://code.google.com/p/spyc/) called Patterns which are easy to read, modify, manage, & share and can be executed manually or as a part of an automated web site deployment.
This module enables granular publish and unpublish permissions which allows you to grant roles on your site the ability to publish or unpublish specific content types without having to give them the administer content permissions. This is a lightweight solution to managing your content workflows.
