Aside from the obvious candidates such as Views, CCK etc, here are a list of 10
|
|
contributed modules that I currently use on each Drupal project.
|
|
|
|
So, in no particular order:
|
|
|
|
- **[Admin](http://drupal.org/project/admin):** <br>The admin module provides UI
|
|
improvements to the standard Drupal admin interface. I've just upgraded to the
|
|
new [6.x-2.0-beta4](http://drupal.org/node/835870) version, and installed the
|
|
newly-required
|
|
[Rubik](http://code.developmentseed.org/rubik)/[Tao](http://code.developmentseed.org/tao)
|
|
themes. So far, so good!
|
|
- **[Better Permissions](http://drupal.org/project/better_perms)/[Filter Permissions](http://drupal.org/project/filter_perms):
|
|
<br>**Basic permissions is a basic module which enhances the Drupal
|
|
Permissions page to support collapsing and expanding permission rows. Filter
|
|
permissions provides filters at the top of the Permissions page for easier
|
|
management when your site has a large amount of roles and/or permissions.
|
|
- **[Better Formats](http://drupal.org/project/better_formats): <br>**Better
|
|
formats is a module to add more flexibility to Drupal's core input format
|
|
system.
|
|
- **[Clone module](http://drupal.org/project/node_clone):**<br>Allows users to
|
|
make a copy of an existing item of site content (a node) and then edit that
|
|
copy.
|
|
- **[Vertical Tabs](http://drupal.org/project/vertical_tabs):<br>**Integrated
|
|
into Drupal 7 core, this module adds vertical tabs to the node add and edit
|
|
forms.
|
|
- **[Context](http://drupal.org/project/context):<br>**Context allows you to
|
|
manage contextual conditions and reactions for different portions of your
|
|
site. You can think of each context as representing a "section" of your site.
|
|
For each context, you can choose the conditions that trigger this context to
|
|
be active and choose different aspects of Drupal that should react to this
|
|
active context.
|
|
- **[Node Picker](http://drupal.org/project/nodepicker):**<br>A rewrite of the
|
|
module [TinyMCE Node Picker](http://drupal.org/project/tinymce_node_picker).
|
|
Allows you to easily create links to internal nodes.
|
|
- **[Module Filter](http://drupal.org/project/module_filter):**<br>What this
|
|
module aims to accomplish is the ability to quickly find the module you are
|
|
looking for without having to rely on the browsers search feature which more
|
|
times than not shows you the module name in the 'Required by' or 'Depends on'
|
|
sections of the various modules or even some other location on the page like a
|
|
menu item.
|
|
- **[Zenophile](http://drupal.org/project/zenophile):**<br>Quickly create Zen
|
|
subthemes.
|
|
- **[Add Another](http://drupal.org/project/addanother):**<br>Add another
|
|
displays a message after a user creates a node, and/or displays an "Add
|
|
another" tab on nodes allowing them to make another node of the same type. You
|
|
can control what roles and node types see this feature.
