Component body
This module is unsupported due to a security issue the maintainer didn’t fix. See SA-CONTRIB-2015-042 - Node basket - Multiple vulnerabilities - Unsupported for details.
If you want to use this module, your options are:
- Choose another, actively maintained module instead
- File an issue in the queue with a patch to fix the module and then contact the security team to have your version reviewed and the project handed over to you following the unsupported project process.
- Hire someone to fix the security bug so the module can be re-published (see this guide on how to hire a Drupal site developer)
Overview
This little module allows people to pick up nodes in a basket (currently session-stored), so that custom operations can then be performed on these nodes.
The module only provides a flush operation, but a hook allows you to add custom operations to your basket, such as a print operation, using Print module and the provided hook.
Features
- New links will appear on node pages: pick up/throw out.
- A new block will be available on the blocks configuration page, displaying the picked up nodes count and linking to the basket page.
- A menu item to the basket page can be enabled.
- The basket page will list the picked up nodes and provide links to perform operations to the list.
API
- Use
node_basket_get_content()to list the user's picked up nodes in your own custom module. - See
node_basket_api.phpfor how to add operations to your node basket list.
Requirements
There is no module requirements, but you'll need a bit of PHP skills to use the API.
Known problems
- You may experience some caching problems for anonymous users with some agressive cache systems like Boost.
- Ajax behavior should be added to avoid page reloads and handle caching problems.
- Authenticated users' basket could be stored in a more permanent way.

Recommended modules

An alternative to get the same kind of functionality might be to use the Flag and VBO modules, but with Node Basket all is packaged in a one-goal little module.
