Overview

Answers enables the implementation of a Question & Answer system in a Drupal site. Users can post questions and other users can answer them. To see it at work (based on the most recent 7.x-4.x-dev version), head over to its Demo site and have a look at the Questions there.

Extends 'maxlength' value of 'title' field of the forms from set by default 128 characters to 255 characters. Good in case if nodes on your Drupal site need longer titles than the default length.

This is a back port of a change made in D6. It constitutes a D5 core hack. Since it will not be needed in D6, it will not be supported. Additionally it must be removed prior to upgrading to D6.

There is no uninstall code for this module because longer titles would be too difficult to deal with, so they are left in place.

Note: As of 2010/01/09, this module appears to no longer be supported. If you are interested in taking this module over, or you as the module maintainer feel this message has been posted in error, please reply to #678672: Moderator seems abandoned.
If you are looking for a module with similar features, see modr8.

DIY map generates clickable, zooming maps written in Flash. You can add points, color countries, add links, and much more. This module adds a layer on top of the Flash application to create and insert the maps into Drupal without having to manually edit an XML configuration file (although you can still write your own XML file).

The flash application has to be added manually and is available from this website : http://www.backspace.com/mapapp/

Overview

DBFM is a file manager based on a hierarchical directory structure and uses AJAX to allow administrators to arrange files in the database in the same way they do with file managers on their personal systems.

DBFM stores its files in a database as opposed to the filesystem. This enables advanced manipulation of the uploaded information. Keywords, notes and other meta-data can be added to uploaded documents, document revision management is now possible. Future revisions of DBFM will include extensive searching of this meta-data.

Application Module that imports and manages Bills from the U.S. Library of Congress website as CCK nodes. It imports Representatives, Committees, Bills, and Bill Actions. It creates these CCK types when the module is installed, and imports this data on cron runs. It manages the automatic updating of this data as it changes.

It also implements an input filter called the "H.R." filter that looks for references to bills in the input text and converts these to links to the bill nodes. It recognizes several regular expressions, such as HR1234, H.R.1234, and even H.RES.1234 for Resolutions. The input filter must be enabled for the desired input format, presumably "Filtered HTML".

The administrator can control which user is the owner of the Bill nodes, what type of bills to download (Bills, Resolutions, Joint Resolutions, etc), and how much time to spend during each cron run. The module was built with Organic Groups in mind.

The data is retrieved from Thomas via two methods. The primary method is screen-scraping. The secondary method is by reading a document archive of XML files. The reason XML is the secondary method is that not all information is available via XML. However, this second method is important in that it does provide some additional information and it is the main indicator that something in the BIll has changed, and that the screen-scraping should be re-initiated.

This module depends on CCK and date. You must download these projects and put them in your modules directory.

The netFORUM Dynamic Facade Nodes module relies on the netFORUM xWeb Interface module and allows Objects from a netFORUM database to become Nodes on a Drupal website. For simplicity it uses the same syntax as Correspondence Templates in the e-Marketing module of iWeb, including conditional statements.

The Builder modules is an experiment in generating drupal code from specifications provided as YAML files. With this module, I seek insight into how far the new reflection mechanisms like the Schema API and the Form API carry.

There is an example YAML spec for a node module in the config/ directory. The file specifies a set of content types in the types section.

I have deliberately refrained from providing a graphical user interface to specify things. For incremental updates, this is a limitation in that I won't be able to track what exactly has changed from one version of a YAML file to the next and e.g. automatically generate update functions for the installer. Because of this limitation, I do not consider this module a competition to the CCK or Views projects.

On the other hand, this module could be used to bootstrap a new generation of more complex modules like CCK and Views by generating the necessary metadata store for these.

Currently, the Builder module is able to generate node modules with simple field types. The boiler plate for the various hook implementations is mainly taken from the node example, but updated to use the new Schema API in Drupal 6. I consider the module an early Alpha version due to its functional limitations.

What is it?

This module provides two ways of referencing relevant content. Both of these methods provide configuration to filter for specific content types and vocabularies, limit the maximum size of the result and provide some header text. The result on both cases are a list of nodes which the module considers most relevant based on the categorization of the current page. This is achieved by finding other nodes which are of one of the allowed types and have the most number of terms in common. The two methods are:

Blocks

This module will provide as many customisable blocks as a site administrator wants. Each block has its own settings for node type, vocabulary, maximum result size and otional header text. Blocks can appear on any page which causes terms to be loaded into Relevant Content. Usually this is any page which views a node (a node page or a view such as a taxonomy term list). Usually you only want a block to appear on a node page, however you may find situation where you want to place a block on a non-node page.

CCK (new)

The new CCK Field Type (available in both 1.3 releases for Drupal 5 & 6). This is a read-only field (much like Node Referrer) which allows the administrator to embed a field that is "display only" (ie, nothing appears on individual node edit forms). This field is configured in the same way the blocks are configured; node type & vocabulary filtering, maximum result size limit and header text. The advantage of the CCK method is the result set is more "embedded" within the content.

This is a module for people interested in the Geogebra geometry program available from http://www.geogebra.org. This is an Open Source geometry program written in Java which is written to be cross-platform compatible (although the install script varies per platform).

In order to use this module you MUST download some files (see the INSTALL.txt file) and should be warned that you should not allow untrusted users to use this module (as improper use can cause browser crashes thanks to a Java bug).
