Really Cool Drupal Web sites, modules, and tools that we have happened upon

Over the last two years we have become more and more immersed into the Drupal Open Source CMS and Framework. Almost daily we find new tools, modules, and Web sites that support our teams in San Diego, CA and Cordoba, Argentina in creating more dynamic and functional products for our clients. Today I want to share some of these with you.

Tools and Modules

• Token - http://drupal.org/project/token
  Tokens are small bits of text that can be placed into larger documents via simple placeholders, like %site-name or [user]. The Token module provides a central API for modules to use these tokens, and expose their own token values.


• Porter-Stemmer Module - http://drupal.org/project/porterstemmer
  This module implements the Porter stemming algorithm to improve American English-language searching with the Drupal built-in Search module. The process of stemming reduces each word in the search index to its basic root or stem (e.g. 'blogging' to 'blog') so that variations on a word ('blogs', 'blogger', 'blogging', 'blog') are considered equivalent when searching. This generally results in more relevant search results.


• Forward - http://drupal.org/project/forward
  Adds a "forward this page" link to each node. This module allows users to forward a link to a specific node on your site to a friend. You can customize the default form field values and even view a running count of the emails sent so far using the forward module.


• Simple Menu - http://drupal.org/project/simplemenu
  This module creates a menu bar that is displayed at the top of every page. The menu bar is fixed in place and uses jQuery to position the bar, along with handling menu effects and adding IE compatibility. This is very useful for themes that don't have a good place to put the administration menu.
