Website Functionality

Modules are plugins for Drupal that extend, build, or enhance Drupal core functionality.  This is very much like a puzzle, where each module contributes another functionality to a Drupal website.

The following is a list of all the modules, on top of the default core modules that Drupal comes with, which we can install on any Drupal site and

which we have experience with. 

There are many more modules and functionalities on Drupal  but these are the basic ones that we found as esential to building a new website.

The links will take you to the Drupal site, where you can learn more about the funcionality of each module in the process of choosing the functionalities you wish to have on your site.

  1. Drupal Core - Drupal is an open-source platform and content management system for building dynamic web sites offering a broad range of features and services including user administration, publishing workflow, discussion capabilities, news aggregation, metadata functionalities using controlled vocabularies and XML publishing for content sharing purposes. Equipped with a powerful blend of features and configurability, Drupal can support a diverse range of web projects ranging from personal weblogs to large community-driven sites.
  2. Views - The views module provides a flexible method for Drupal site designers to control how lists of content are presented.
  3. CCK - The Content Construction Kit allows the developer to add custom fields to nodes using a web browser.
  4. Pathauto - The Pathauto module automatically generates path aliases for various kinds of content (nodes, categories, users) without requiring the user to manually specify the path alias.
  5. Image - This module allows users with proper permissions to upload images into Drupal. Thumbnails and additional sizes are created automatically.
