Podcast: Module A Day
EP 002: Bring Down IE6
Module a Day
Module Link: http://drupal.org/project/bringdownie6
- Who: This module is for non-technical users
- What: It creates a block with an image and link to a third party website.
- When: I don't see much of a point installing this module
- Where: standard /sites/all/modules
- Why: If you don't know html and you want to create a link to this third party site then this is the module for you.
EP 001: Features Module
Module a Day
I cover the Features Module (http://drupal.org/project/features)
- Who: This module is intended for users that have multiple sites that use the same functionality.
- What: The features module enables the capture and management of features in Drupal. A feature is a collection of Drupal entities which taken together satisfy a certain use-case.
- When: I recommend that all Drupal users who have more than one site use this module. It is possible to use this if you only have one site and you want to use pre-created features. I also tend to use this with install profiles to limit the amount of SQL I have to write in the profile.
- Where: In your /sites/all/modules
- Why: Because having to re-create the same CCK types, settings and other things over and over again just isn't fun.
