5/3/2012

1. WYSIYG module (and Library - see WYSYIG topic)
http://drupal.org/project/wysiwyg

 

2.  Insert Module – so we can insert images into parts of text using WYSIWYG
http://drupal.org/project/insert
http://ftp.drupal.org/files/projects/insert-7.x-1.3.tar.gz

Then need to go to the content type, manage fields, and you have a new insert option (and click enable insert button)

 

3.   Chaos Tools Suit (CST).  This has code that is required by many other modules
http://drupal.org/project/ctools
http://ftp.drupal.org/files/projects/ctools-7.x-1.3.tar.gz

 

4. Views Module
http://drupal.org/project/views
http://ftp.drupal.org/files/projects/views-7.x-3.7.tar.gz

This allows you to create web pages, blocks and RSS feeds from various items in the database.

 

5. PathAuto Module
http://drupal.org/project/pathauto
http://ftp.drupal.org/files/projects/pathauto-7.x-1.2.tar.gz

gives links human readable names, instead of node numbers

 

6. Token module
http://drupal.org/project/token
http://ftp.drupal.org/files/projects/token-7.x-1.5.tar.gz

required by many modules.

 

7.  Advanced forum module
http://drupal.org/project/advanced_forum

I am not sure this is best, but it is what this forum uses, and has many advantages over the core forum

 

8.  Subscriptions module
http://drupal.org/project/subscriptions

This is what divched is not using, and there are a lot of issues.  See the forum"Comment-Discussion" for other options and discussions.

9.  Mail_edit module
http://drupal.org/project/mail_edit
http://ftp.drupal.org/files/projects/mail_edit-7.x-1.0.tar.gz

 

10. Comment goodness module
http://drupal.org/project/comment_goodness
http://ftp.drupal.org/files/projects/comment_goodness-7.x-1.4.tar.gz

(Allows sorting of comments from new to old, and also appears to allow you to hide the comment form as a link)

 

11. Lexicon module

(for development site, probably not for class site).  Although it would be nice to have more granular features
http://drupal.org/project/lexicon
http://ftp.drupal.org/files/projects/lexicon-7.x-1.10.tar.gz

  • To get to mark up text you need to go into the filtered text options (full html/filtered…)
  • If you want people to see the definitions as a page, you need to set permissions.
  • Need to enable link in menu item (Navigation here)

*** There are conflicts here.  If you automarkup, it goofs up the emails.  This issue involves the text editor.
