Administration tools

Oct 20th 2010 - The name of this module, could cause confusion to those using drupal core functions. Additionally there is currently a function name conflict with the ftp code used in the backup_migrate module. This is discussed here: #803964: function name conflicts with drupal_ftp

If you are planning to use ftp functions in your module, we recommend using either storage_api or media mover modules over drupal_ftp. We will continue to support the module where possible, so if you must use drupal_ftp, and have an issue or question, simply post to the issue queue. Thanks.

This is just an engine right now, and an FTP browser. Not sure where I'm going with this, but there wasn't anything giving an FTP interface in Drupal that I could find, so here's a start. Currently, it hard-codes the ftp u/p info, and defaults to ftp.drupal.org, just to give you the point. After installing, go to /admin/settings/drupal_ftp, and possibly change access rules at /admin/user/access.

This is an extensive remodification of the my_ftp class (though no longer a class) at http://www.devarticles.com/c/a/PHP/My-FTP-Wrapper-Class-for-PHP/

Possible uses:

• ftp browsing
• automatic module/theme installation
  

This module provides a powerful interface for managing taxonomies. A vocabulary gets displayed in a dynamic tree view, where parent terms can be expanded to list their nested child terms or can be collapsed.

The Taxonomy Manager has following operations and key features:

• dynamic treeview
• mass deleting
• mass adding of new terms
• moving of terms in hierarchies
• merging of terms (using the Term merge module in 7.x)
• fast weight changing with up and down arrows (and AJAX saving)
• AJAX powered term editing form
• simple search interface
• CSV Export of terms
• i18n support for multilingual vocabularies (per language terms)
• Double Tree interface for moving terms in hierarchies, adding new translations and switching terms between different vocabularies

For using the Taxonomy Manager you should have JavaScript and automatically load of images enabled in your browser.

This is a Google Summer of Code 2007 project. Read my proposal and my status reports for more information.

Drupal 7
The Taxonomy Manager is incompatible with the Devel Themer (#874488: Clicking Add button does nothing - incompatibility with Devel module and Tao based themes (like Rubik))

Helped sites that were deployed directly from a CVS workspace, as opposed to sites built via packages downloaded from drupal.org. This module is obsolete now that drupal.org uses Git not CVS. Instead, you should use Git deploy.

Registration role lets an administrator select a role to automatically assign to new users. The selected role will be assigned to new registrants.

Allows creation of new drupal sites from a central drupal site without the creator having access to database info. The new site is installed either in the same database with a different prefix or if the drupal db_user has access to create a database and grant privileges, then possibly there.

Enables custom requiring and hiding of designated modules at admin/modules. Good for Drupal distros and hosts.
