Content Display

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 Comments Page module will display all comments, or a certain user’s comments, on a page similar to how nodes are listed; that is, comments will be listed like nodes – with a title, date, user, and comment body – and then they are paginated.

This module was inspired by Angie Byron's article at lullabot.com on How to create Flickr in Drupal. It automates the creation of a Flickr type gallery community, where you can search for photos by user or by category. The module provides:

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.

Create Content Block extends the user inteface for creating content by providing a pulldown block of content types and a button for quickly creating new content, the block is OG aware and adds the group id to the links when on an OG page

It was primarily developed because the UI for creating content was clumsy, especially when comparing the difference between creating content when in and not-in an OG page.

But while this block is OG aware, it does not rely on OG. And it has definite value to non-OG sites by providing a simple create content block.

This module falls under the category of "let's improve the User experience". Since this module tries to improve the UI, the button text is configurable.

This module provides an API for Drupal menu display modules. By itself, it only supports drupal's default menus, so you should probably only install it if another module tells you to.

There are many menu display modules, such as Nice Menus, DHTML Menu, and Simple Menu. This module aims to centralize these efforts. It will provide an API for all menu display modules to use. Developers may see the API.txt file for more information.

Any developers who would like to help me develop this module, please post an issue to the queue.

Node Hierarchy allows nodes to be children of other nodes creating a tree-like hierarchy of content. The module offers:

• 1-Click creation of hierarchical menus
• Hierarchical breadcrumbs
• Automatic hierarchical urls using Pathauto (and token module)
  (eg: q=aboutus/history/beginning).
• Automatic creation of hierarchical menus if desired.
• Optional Views integration.
• Optional Node Access integration.

Provides commonly requested user statistics for themers, IP address tracking and Views integration. Statistics are:

1. days registered;
2. join date;
3. days since last login;
4. days since last post;
5. post count;
6. login count;
7. user online/offline;
8. IP address;

This module was developed for The Webmaster Forums (who have moved to Drupal from vBulletin -- yes, we do like Drupal's forum!)

** Looking for Co-Maintainer of this module. Someone who keeps up with changes to CTools module. **

Panels Accordion provides an accordion display within Panels. By using accordions you can fit more content into smaller areas and allow your users to expand each section as needed. This uses the existing jQuery file for the accordion effect. The layout settings allow you to choose the action, effect, and speed for accordions.

Signatures for Forums tweaks signatures in ways inspired by other traditional forum software.

1. when a user changes their signature, all their posts will be updated;
2. signatures are automatically added to posts, instead of being inserted into the post text;
3. the administrator can choose the input filter for signatures, allowing BBCode -- if the BBCode module is installed -- or HTML to be used;
4. signatures are longer than the the Drupal default
5. conditional signatures, these are hidden, or rel=nofollow'd if a post is under a particular length;
6. show signature only once per conversation;
