Why Do I Need It?

Unfortunately Drupal does not include the powers of immortality or invincibility. You may someday get hit by a truck, or even just decide that you no longer want to maintain the site. So someone else may have to take over.

Where do they start? I know you documented the site really well, but the next person doesn't want to read those 14 binders of documentation you left behind. They can always go through all the administration screens and look for the information, but that can take a lot of time and even those pages don't tell you everything. Some things you're only going to get by looking directly into the database.

This is what the Site Documentation module is designed to do. In addition, it will detect some problems that may exist in your installation, and optionally correct some of them.

Ever design a site and happen on a nifty trick that you may want to use again? You wrote it down and lost the paper, didn't you.

You designed a great site for someone else, and the first thing they do is call you up and say "How do I do...?"

You can't remember all the modules, themes, and CSS changes you made and it's time to upgrade...

You'd love to put all that stuff on the web site, some place easy to find, but safe from casual hackers...

Well, here you go... Introducing SiteNotes. A simple module lots of uses.

Typogrify.module brings the typographic refinements of Typogrify to Drupal.

  • Wraps ampersands (the “&” character) with <span class="amp"></span>.
  • Prevents single words from wrapping onto their own line using Shaun Inman's Widont technique.
  • Converts straight quotation marks "" to typographer's quotation marks “”, „“ or «» using SmartyPants language dependent.
  • Converts multiple hyphens to en dashes and em dashes (according to your preferences), using SmartyPants.
  • Wraps multiple capital letters with <span class="caps"></span>.
  • Wraps initial quotation marks with <span class="quo"></span> or <span class="dquo"></span>.
  • Adds a css style sheet that uses the <span> tags to substitute a showy ampersand in headlines, switch caps to small caps, and hang initial quotation marks.
  • Inserts ligatures (if supported by platform and browser).
  • Replaces ascii arrows with unicode arrows (if supported by platform and browser).
  • Inserts thin-space in abbreviations.
  • Groups digits in large numbers.
  • Replaces = in words with a soft hyphen (&shy;), to allow hyphenated line-breaks.

Community-managed taxonomy (CMT) opens categorization of content to the site's community. Users can influence both what terms nodes are tagged with and how these terms are themselves organized.

It can also be used to make structured tags on the fly. Users do not need to be logged in to make or propose terms for content.

It requires the votingapi module, which opens up a world of fun.
