Acronyms is a small module which handles Acronyms (also known as Abbreviations) on your site. The primary function is acronyms_parse_string($string) which takes and returns a string, properly formatted with the acronyms (or abbreviations) in it. This module was created for a client project - we were importing several thousand company names into Drupal and the php command ucwords() did not properly address acronyms/abbreviations (it would turn USA into Usa), so I created this module as a solution to that problem. This module is essentially a text parser, so can be integrated into your theme, a custom block, or your module code (to name a few places).
Depending on the case of the input, the acronyms_parse_string($string) function will return:
If $string is Mixed Case:
"The USA has 48 contiguous states." will return the same string (if "Auto Create" is enabled in Administer >> Acronyms then it will also save the "USA" acronym for future use).
If $string is ALL CAPS:
"THE USA HAS 48 CONTIGUOUS STATES." will return "The USA has 48 Contiguous States." (if the "USA" acronym was added manually or automatically).
If $string is all lower case:
"the usa has 48 contiguous states." will return "The USA has 48 Contiguous States." (same reason as above.)
A permalink, or permanent link, is a URL that points to a specific blog or forum entry after it has passed from the front page to the archives. Because a permalink remains unchanged indefinitely, it is less susceptible to link rot. Most modern weblogging and content-syndication software systems support such links. Other types of websites use permanent links, but the term permalink is most common within the blogosphere. Permalink is a portmanteau word made from permanent link.
This module allows you to add a permalink to any node type. The link will be displayed as text that is easily copied from your site so that someone can link to the node. The link text is to /node/NID or ?q=node/NID instead of an alias.
Best reply module allows node authors to mark a particular comment as the best reply. It aims to encourage quality comments and to give some recognition to people posting quality responses.
