[Must have] Useful drupal modules

About Drupal SEO modules I have repeatedly written. But not only do they affect the promotion of Drupal site. We all know that the promotion and development of the site - it is not only building up positions on a given key, but a whole range of activities. The success of the site in the eyes of users affected and stability updates, and usability, and ease of use. A loyal visitors clearly shows the search engines what the site is worthy of tops.

In addition to the site live and develop, you - the creator - gotta love it, cherish. And that means some tools for ease of administration also did not hurt.

Actually modules, which cost me almost all the drupal-projects:

Backup Migrate - particularly useful in the development with the need to experiment:) Let's say you put the Media Gallery. There is an error, and with backup from the previous step you do not rearrange everything again, but simply to restore the database. As in many Drupal problems can be solved in several ways, it is relevant and useful. Oh, and safer way, of course.

Module Filter - when the number of modules grows, the search for them in the admin gets very boring. There is just this module useful: it makes the search for suitable modules, modules you can search for the word (the words), announce the list of offers included, offline, and inaccessible to the mandatory inclusion of modules.

Devel - this module for many needs no introduction. But beginners drupallery it often sidestep. And for good reason. However, I ignored devel module at first time. But now, without it anywhere. That only is chip - the generation of content, users, comments, votes and views. At the design stage, when the content has gone, and look to bring in the kind that is supposed to filled site, devel irreplaceable.

Taxonomy Manager - Assistant to the management of taxonomy terms and vocabularies. You can do without it, but sometimes very helpful - sorting, editing, and other actions with taxonomy terms. While the interface on the fan, some don't like it.

Features - a great tool, is gaining popularity among drupal-developers. Many projects use similar chips (photo and video galleries, blogs and other-other-other). So features allows you to save a set of the type of material vyusov, user rights and other necessary items in a module (!) With dependencies on other modules. This saved module is connected to the new project as well as the usual drupal modules and, in principle, greatly accelerates the process of creating the site to Drupal. There is also for second and seventh version of Drupal.

P.S. Do you want feature for Media Gallery? ;)

And now a few more modules to your joy and your users:

Better Formats - in combination with wysiwyg profiles allows quick and easy to configure input formats for different roles, types of material, comments. For sites that involve user activity, I usually give permission to Anonymus filterd html with three buttons - bold, italic, strike. For authorized and adding materials - full html c expanded set of allowed tags, for all the comments - the same filtered html. Obtained quickly and conveniently.

Hierarchical Select - indispensable for sites with extensive taxonomy. Select the first level - there is a select field for the second level, if there is a third - will be an appropriate choice for the third. It is extremely handy thing. Allows you to select one or more chains.

Teaser Thumbnails - thumbnails you want automatically generated from the images that are inserted into the body of material? This module - what you need. Set up for editing the material type, imagecache presets set and enjoy life. If you need more detailed instructions - please:)

Node and Comments Form Settings - also a very useful module for Drupal site administrator and users. Allows you to remove unnecessary and neatly set up a form to add materials and comment. The very recently found out about this unit, and he, no doubt, deserves to be in the list of must have modules.

Cache Router - allows you to use the various options cache website. By default - cache storage in the database. You can configure different places (memory, files, database) for the different tables. These things are extremely positive effect on the speed of the site.

Localization Update (l10n_update) - automatic update translations. And that says it all:)

This is of course not all useful modules. But these will be useful for most sites on Drupal, regardless of the subject, scheduled attendance and volume.
