The interface module allows site administrators to modify the way entities look through a drag and drop interface. It uses plug-ins to present information in different styles, such as tabbed interfaces, complex page layouts, and the like.
The original D6 version of the module was concerned only with content entry forms. The D7 version is a complete rewrite and is concerned primarily with the presentation of entities, especially ones lacking a conventional layout in relation to typical content in a Drupal site. It will also support modifications to entry forms, just not yet.
Features include:
* Drag-and-Drop Authoring Tool
Form elements can be moved around on a page by simply clicking on them and dragging them where they belong.
* Plug Ins
Interface uses a number of plug ins to control the presentation of content. The D7 version ships with a tabbed interface plug-in for right now, with others coming soon.
* Multiple Interfaces per Content Type
Interface allows users to create different layouts for each display mode associated with a bundle.
* API
Interface provides ample hooks for templates and behaviors to perform actions without needing to modify the core interface module. Documentation for developers is provided within some of the behaviors included with this distribution.
