Utility

BundleCache is a module that allows more intelligent bundling of CSS and JavaScript files by grouping only files that belong together. While the aggregation mechanism in the Drupal core creates a new “bundle” for each set of files, BundleCache allows you to create for example one “main” bundle that is used throughout your site and additional bundles that are only used on certain pages. It also adds features to control the delivery of these files to the user by allowing to change the hosts from which they are served.

SimilarTitle helps to prevent creating duplicate content by showing a list of nodes with similar titles when a node is created or edited.

The User Import Framework (uif) module provides simple, extensible user import via CSV (comma-separated value) files. The guiding philosophy is to make the import process as simple as possible for the end-user (the user doing the import). Hooks allow the developer (you) to add the bells and whistles you need, e.g. content_profile (D6), core user fields or profile2 (D7) support, while providing a framework which takes care of the tedious aspects of the job (forms, input parsing).

TestData is a developer module intended for large Drupal sites that require a consistent, fast method of providing sample data to automated acceptance and performance testing tools.

The Grinder, jMeter and Selenium are examples of tools that test your site by creating real traffic that mimics user actions. Writing these tests often requires easy access to your site's data, for usage in the tests.

Node DTO is a module that provides proxy classes that wrap a node for easier access to complex or deeply nested properties.

Such uses would be collecting taxonomy terms based on a vocabulary name. Getting CCK fields without having to walk into field properties etc.

The other big advantage Node DTO provides is an easy way to serialize things into several formats, support for SQL statements, JSON and XML.

This module is used heavily in the XSL Engine for rendering data into XML Documents to be processed by the XSLTProcessor.

Virtual Site allows a site admin to quickly instantiate a sub-site or standalone site within a single Drupal install. Virtual site instantiation includes, among other things, the ability to quickly populate a new site with placeholder content, menus, and selection of custom themes.

This module is in early development, so it may be a few weeks before the first development release is posted. However, this project page has been created to begin fleshing out documentation and feature set.

The System Features module provides integration between "system objects" (modules and themes) and Features. It makes it possible to export module status to a feature, which, when deployed, can enable or disable modules, or change the weight of modules.

It is primarily intended for use in scripted deployments, as a convenient way of making changes to the status of several modules at once, via the standard Features mechanisms.

• Support for Themes

Makes possible to generate a new cron key.

Your variable table can get bloated under three circumstances:

UUID Resolver is a module that accepts a UUID under a registered wildcard menu path and redirects to the target object (i.e. node/term/etc.) the UUID identifies. It integrates with the UUID module to look up an object. When a page access hits the wildcard path with a UUID recognized in the system, the URL is redirected to the path of the target object.

For example, in a Drupal site http://www.example.com, node UUID lookup is registered on the path uuid/%. The site has a node:

• nid: 2
• uuid: 286acd2e-cd1d-11df-a386-005056812593

The following URL:

http://www.example.com/uuid/286acd2e-cd1d-11df-a386-005056812593

will be redirected to

http://www.example.com/node/2
