This is a full backport of Drupal 7 core cache.inc for Drupal 6. It works as-is a drop-in replacement, without having any patch to do over core.

It allows usage of multiple cache backends on the same site (example: you could use APC backend for critical cache tables, memcache for page caching, and let the others live on database).

The Drupal 7 cache.inc file has been copied as-is as the provided file, with only two patches:

  • The database default backend as been moved to its own file, because it has been severly patched in order to gracefully downgrade to D6 database layer.
  • At the end of file, every declared cache backend file is loaded because we don't have an autoloader function.

Installation is quite simple and fully documented in INSTALL.txt file provided in the module package.

Simple Drupal module intended to make it easy to run a queue with workers that wait indefinitely for jobs.

Such worker processes should be managed by something like Supervisord. Writing daemons should always be avoided, mkay?

This project handles discographies in Drupal. Users can enter release and track information as Drupal content types.

In addition to creating this content type, this module also can import discography data from Discogs.com.

Discogs 6.x merely provided a single content type, and the ability to import from Discogs.com only. The 7.x version, however, is a Discography Framework. In addition to the features from 6.x, its modular design allows other developers to write modules for other third party API's, or for their own content types.

This project is intended to be used by artists or labels who are using Drupal as their CMS. Other uses include radio stations, fansites, or listing your album collection online. (Please be aware of potential copyright issues.)

D7 alt: https://www.drupal.org/project/views_random

Adds a new sort type to views. It's under sort criteria -> Global: Javascript Random.

Why
Lets say this view is used to rotate an ad on your site. If that is cached then the same ad shows until the page cache is cleared.

Project summary

Create usernames based on a persons real name, and save those values as user fields.

Tommy Lee Jones → TLJones

The Realname registration module is a solution for forcing professional usernames that are based on a persons real name. The Username on the registration form is replaced with First name, Middle name (optional), and Last name fields created and provided by the site builder. The first name, middle name, and last name are preserved in the defined fields, where it is later tokenized for further use.
