An attempt to add helper functions, depedencies, and modularity to frontend Drupal code.

Adds the following function (backend):

1. drupal_add_js_dependency(stack, name) - ensures a dependency is in effect before pages load to sidestep race conditions.

Adds the following function sets (frontend):

Dependency functions:

1. Drupal.modules.init_dependencies() - initialises all dependencies that were present in Drupal.settings on load.
2. Drupal.modules.init_dependency(stack, fallback = true) - create a dependency stack, optionally making it resolve after page load. May switch to a timeout in future.
3. Drupal.modules.add_dependency(stack, name) - adds a dependency to a dependency stack, which must be marked as resolved before the stack marks as resolved
4. Drupal.modules.resolve_dependencyname - resolves a named dependency on all stacks.
5. Drupal.modules.dependency_status(stack) - checks the status of a dependency stack
6. Drupal.modules.get_dependants(name) - lists stacks that depend on the named module.

Hook handling functions

The Configuration builder module provides a Form Builder based, drag and drop interface for building custom, exportable, configuration pages.

This can be used to create a unified settings form bringing important settings (Site name, Google analytics account, etc) into one easy to manage page, or for creating custom settings forms as needed.

Features

• Drag and Drop form builder interface.
• Configuration variables provided as tokens.
• Provides a block per configuration page.
• Set page access by:
  • User permission.
  • User role(s).
• Exportable as:
  • Drupal API hooks via:
    • Configuration builder export interface.
  • CTools exportable via:
    • Configuration builder export interface.
    • CTools Bulk Export module.
    • Features module.
• Integrates with:
  • Drupal Contextual links module:
    • Adds a hover link for quick editing configuration pages.
    • Adds contextual link tokens for quick editing variables.
  • Variable module:
    • Adds Variable element for Form Builder for any declared variables.
    • Declares all created variables with hook_variable_info().

Provides Views Display Style and Field Display Formatter for image fields using the Awkward Showcase jQuery image gallery plugin.

Drupal Computing is a framework that facilitates distributed computing between Drupal and external programs written in non-PHP languages such as Java and Python. It is particularly designed for the cases where you need to use Drupal with non-PHP, computational-intensive code libraries (such as Apache Mahout, NumPy/SciPy, R, etc) for offline big data analytics. In addition to this Drupal module, you also need the companion Java and Python client library at https://github.com/danithaca/drupal-computing. The target audience would be developers who write Java/Python programs for Drupal.

Key Features

• Reusable Java and Python code to interact with Drupal (https://github.com/danithaca/drupal-computing)
• Two ways of Drupal interaction using either Drush (unlimited access) or Services (restricted but more secure).
• A work queue system within Drupal to facilitate data exchange and asynchronous execution with agent programs.
• Entity API support to provide flexible data structure.
• Views integration.
• Rules integration. For example, send an email when a certain agent program finishes running.
