drupal modules

Gallery

in
This module embeds <A HREF="http://gallery.menalto.com" TARGET="_blank">Gallery2</A> inside your Drupal installation to support photos, videos and other content.

Tips
Install Gallery2 into a separate directory from your Drupal install or rename it something other than "gallery" so it doesn't conflict with the gallery.module. If you install it outside of your Drupal site folder, symbolic link it into there:

cd /var/websites/projectname/htdocs/current
ln -s ../gallery gallery2

Views Bonuspack

in

Change number of columns
View Arguments:

$view->gridcount = SOME_NUMBER;

Image

in
This module allows users with proper permissions to upload images into Drupal. Thumbnails and additional sizes are created automatically. Also has the files required to use the ImageMagick toolkit.

Module Installation

  1. Copy this directory to a suitable modules directory, such as sites/all/modules
  2. Enable the module at: Administer > Site building > Modules
  3. Configure the module settings at: Administer > Site configuration > Image
  4. Configure cron if you didn't do so already to have your temporary upload directory cleaned up. See http://drupal.org/cron for detailed instructions.

Vendor Branches for Modules

in

Use Subversions "vendor branch" capabilities for managing Drupal module installation and updating.

Ross Burton's Vendor Branches in Subversion is a decent explanation of how vendor branching works.
CodeGobbler has an article on SVN repository structure for Drupal projects that includes using svn:externals for modules.

Adding a module to your local Drupal repo
Check out a copy of the module section of your local Drupal SVN repo:

Upgrading Drupal Core

How to upgrade the Drupal core.

We've been recommending that you use Subversion to manage your Drupal site, so these instructions are geared towards using it to upgrade.

The instructions also presume that your site can be taken offline during the upgrading process. If you've have a site that you can't take offline while the process is completed, you've got a whole other set of complicated issues to deal with!

These instructions were written based on upgrading Drupal 5.7 to Drupal 5.10.

BlockTheme

in
BlockTheme allows an admin to define tpl files for standard block templates.

Daily

in
The daily module is meant for things like comic strips or daily headlines. Any node can be `daily content', which means it is associated with a certain group (implemented as a taxonomy term) and set to a certain date. For nodes like this, a calendar is displayed which you can use to browse through earlier content.

Table Manager

in
A simple module which automates the creation of tables and allows you and sufficiently permissioned users to add to them and maintain them.

Taxonews

in
Generate blocks containing titles of node matching terms in a taxonomy vocabulary, as links to the nodes themselves, with automatic content expiration based on publishing date.

Role Contact

in
Creates a "staff list" from the profiles of users in a particular role.
