Below are some of our favorite drupal modules. Please add yours!
- I like Poor Man's Cron. this module runs cron operations without having to know how to create a crontab. Cron is necessary for all sorts of things that need to be done at regular intervals in order to make your drupal site function correctly - like indexing etc. -James Jacobs Note: The Scheduling Service is now live at http://tools.stanford.edu (look under Web Services, Scheduling Service) and it's a much easier way to accomplish the goals outlined above. -Marco Wise
- Biblio. Add citations, item records, books, articles, journals, web pages, etc. You can even import from RefWorks or EndNote. -John Bickar
- Administration menu. I can't live without this one!! -james jacobs
