FCKeditor - WYSIWYG HTML editor.

CKEditor module: CKEditor is the successor to FCKeditor and has its own CKEditor module. The FCKeditor module will not receive any new features, nor will it be updated for Drupal 7. Upgrading to CKEditor is recommended for all users of FCKeditor. WYSIWYG editor This module allows Drupal to replace textarea fields with the FCKeditor - a visual HTML editor, sometimes called WYSIWYG editor. Note: This module is not affiliated with the WYSIWYG module. Demo site Please visit the demo site to see a sample installation of Drupal with FCKeditor enabled.

On the same site you will also find more information about installing/configuring FCKeditor, including the video: "Install FCKeditor in Drupal in 7 minutes" and troubleshooting section. Who's using FCKeditor? Here is just a small list of people, projects and sites that are using FCKeditor today. Browser compatibility FCKeditor is compatible with most of the internet browsers, including Drupal compatibility Required components More information and licence. Panels. An Overview of Panels The Panels module allows a site administrator to create customized layouts for multiple uses. At its core it is a drag and drop content manager that lets you visually design a layout and place content within that layout. Integration with other systems allows you to create nodes that use this, landing pages that use this, and even override system pages such as taxonomy and the node page so that you can customize the layout of your site with very fine grained permissions. Integration with CTools module Panels 3 utilizes the CTools' system of "context" so that the content you place on the page can be aware of what is being displayed.

Panels uses Contexts - What are they? In a Panel, you can create contexts, which represent the objects being displayed. In addition, these contexts can be checked for information and use that not only to make content available to be displayed, but to choose which layout to display! Panels can also be used for items smaller than pages. Active menus. Activemenus makes the standard Drupal navigation menu expandable. Clickable, highlighted regions are added to the menu. When a collapsed menu item is expanded, the child menu items are loaded dynamically through AJAX. Formerly part of the Javascript Tools package, Tabs is now an independent module as of Drupal 6. It requires the Javascript Tools module, which for Drupal 6 is a small collection of commonly needed utility functions.

The module DHTML Menu handles expandable menus too, but it does not use AJAX and the entire menu tree is loaded in the HTML, so it may cause some issues with very large menus. Originally authored by Nedjo Rogers. Version 2 This version allows to choose the menus on which the AJAX behavior should be activated and supports horizontal menus. Port to Drupal 7 just began, thanks to alexh. jQuery UI Tabs. Download ScrollText - This Drupal module allows you to create t. Pathauto. The Pathauto module automatically generates URL/path aliases for various kinds of content (nodes, taxonomy terms, users) without requiring the user to manually specify the path alias. This allows you to have URL aliases like /category/my-node-title instead of /node/123 .

The aliases are based upon a "pattern" system that uses tokens which the administrator can change. Requirements Versions The 7.x-1.x and 6.x-2.x branches are currently accepting new feature requests and are kept in sync as much as possible. Known issues Multilingual URL alias support is still a little unstable and should be tested before used in production. Recommended modules Redirect (D7) / Path Redirect (D6) when installed Pathauto will provide a new "Update Action" in case your URLs change.

Co-Maintainers Pathauto was originally written by mikeryan and maintained by Greg Knaddison (greggles) . Pledges #D8CX : I pledge that Pathauto will have a full Drupal 8 release on the day that Drupal 8 is released. Downloads. External Links. Drupal Dojo. Making your own customisations to the default theme | ProsePoint. Example subtheme released Over the last few weeks, we've received questions from interested users about ProsePoint themes, particularly about how ProsePoint themes differs from Drupal themes, and how to customise the default theme that comes with ProsePoint (tma2). After a few ad-hoc replies, we've decided it was time to devote some attention to ProsePoint themeing.

In hindsight, we always knew users would enquire about themes, we knew users will want to change something about their theme. We just didn't expect it to happen yet. (Oops. 'Should have seen this coming.) We've since added a themeing section to the user guide, and with this article, we're now going to release an example of customising the default ProsePoint theme. A header image from the subtheme (Source: Wikimedia Commons) To understand this example, you will need to know some CSS. Before you proceed, you may like to download the example subtheme tma_custom (about 726KB). This example subtheme has two changes. Comic View. Webform. Webform is the module for making surveys in Drupal.

After a submission, users may be sent an e-mail "receipt" as well as sending a notification to administrators. Results can be exported into Excel or other spreadsheet applications. Webform also provides some basic statistical review and has and extensive API for expanding its features. Some good examples could be contests, personalized contact forms, or petitions. Each of these could have a customized form for end-users to fill out. If you need to build a lot of customized, one-off forms, Webform is a more suitable solution than creating content types and using CCK or Field module. Explanation of Webform vs. Webform 3.x Requirements PHP 5Drupal 6.16+ or Drupal 7 Webform 4.x Requirements PHP 5.3Drupal 7CTools and Views Webform related projects Obligatory "Which version should I choose" Notice The Drupal 7 version of Webform has been branched so that you can download the new 7.x-4.x version or the older 7.x-3.x version.

Blog: Drupal and Maps III: Getting Dirty. This is the continuation of my journal on getting mapping to work for Global Youth Service Day in Drupal, which starts with an overview of maps and drupal, and continues with a discussion of modules. So now we have the basic setup and are ready to start on the map - placeholders for content, maps, and actual content, and it's time to forge ahead with improving the user experience and information architecture (at the same time, even!).

I also just came across another blog article at around the same level of detail that covers other aspects of Drupal, which I haven't touched on much here for a more articles-rich site. Check it out: . Along similar lines, I stumbled across a series by IBM that gives a surprisingly clear overview of the next level in to Drupal geekery, without flooding you with information: Testing, 1...2...3...

Drupal 6 vs. Drupal 5. A few people have recently asked me: Should I use Drupal 5 or Drupal 6? Drupal 6 is stable and it has a lot of great features that aren't available in Drupal 5. The only reason I would use Drupal 5 for a new site is if using a module that were only available for Drupal 5. Ubercart is one that comes to mind. (I haven't used Ubercart, but it was recommended to me as the ideal way to to ecommerce in Drupal.) Drupal 6 is great. There's no reason not to use it except if there is a module that isn't available yet. I can't think of any modules that I use on a regular basis that aren't available for Drupal 6. Drupal 6 gives you things like: More AJAX - you can drag & drop things to order them instead of setting weights by numbers in select boxes.Views 2 - this version of the Views module is incredible, and only available for Drupal 6.Trigger and Actions - built in.Status updates - Drupal 6 emails you when new versions of your installed modules are available.and much more...

A Recipe for a Rapid Drupal Site--Part I, Gathering Your Resourc. Building a Drupal site can be done very quickly and inexpensively under the right circumstances. You need no programming or CSS skills and limited skills using FTP as long as you are willing to make compromises. Yesterday, my wife and I launched Trauma Adoption after about a week of effort in the evenings. There is still more to do on the site, but it was very quick to put together. First, some assumptions. We will use a contributed Drupal themeWe will use only contributed Drupal modulesThe extent of "custom" work will extend to using CCK and ViewsWe will live with what Drupal outputs out of the box The steps...

A) Obtain a domain and secure hosting. B) Sketch out what you want the site to do and the main areas that people will go to. What we have here is user roles/experience at the most basic level. C) Gather your resources! Drupal 6.x From the Modules section on Drupal.org: Get yourself a contributed theme from Drupal.org's Theme Repository.

Drupal theming is not as easy was it look. Drupal theming system is very flexible and robust but as the no. of modules increase the no. of CSS (Cascading Style Sheet) files also go up this causes problems in theming. The multitude of modules you use can be hard for the themer and changes in last moment is difficult to tackle.

For standard compliant browser's like Firefox and with use of Firebug theming might not be too hard but IE spoils the soup with all unpredictable output. On top of it the problems attached with fluid layout is a CSS designer's nightmare. 1. (Try some Lemon Water :-D) 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7.
