Clear message

Drupal add-ons (modules) to consider for the Edubuntu website.

Note: This page lists all modules that sound useful, grouped by categories found on the drupal.org site, in alphabetical order. Also note, some of the module might not have been ported to work with the latest release yet (Drupal 5.x).

Drupal Core Modules

  • Form submit - rapidely clicking on the submit button of a form will result in duplication of nodes/users, see discussion and suggested solution at http://drupal.org/node/107358 alternatively, if an immediate solution is needed, try the 'form single' module http://drupal.org/project/formsingle

  • Upload - Don't enable this? Possibly use 'Attachment' and 'Filemanager' instead. Update: file handling in Drupal 5.1 is still sub-optimal, a new file api is being worked on... for the moment, we seem stuck with the built-in 'Upload', since 'Attachment' and 'Filemanager' won't be upgraded to work with 5.x
