20 Drupal Modules to Boost Your Website’s Functionality

Drupal is a robust content management system that can do nearly anything you throw at it. Hundreds of Drupal modules –add-ons that extend the functionality of Drupal core–exist to help you create a powerful website.

Drop-down, multi-level navigation is not automatically enabled in many themes. You can use Nice Menus to turn on fly-out and drop-down navigation, but you’ll still have to edit your theme files. However, with the Menu Block Drupal module, you can easily add a new block that pulls all relevant navigation links together, and then you can place that new block anywhere on the page–in the content section, for example, or perhaps in the left or right sidebar.
