This set of modules and themes turns Drupal into a platform for developing Facebook Applications. This allows you to embed your content and features within facebook, or allow facebook users onto your site via Facebook Connect. With Drupal for Facebook, you can harness all the power of Drupal in you Facebook App. If you already have content in Drupal, you can expose it on Facebook. The Drupal for Facebook philosophy is that the functionality already built into Drupal should be used to create Facebook Applications. Where possible, we use Drupal's user management, permission schemes, blocks, views, etc. to implement the Facebook App. Experienced Drupal users will find it very straightforward to build a Facebook App. While Facebook developers new to Drupal may want to spend some time on Drupal.org learning best practices. Drupal for Facebook contains several sub-modules. Enable just those that you need. For example if you need Social Plugins, enable just fb.module. For Facebook Connect, enable fb_connect.module; Canvas Pages, fb_canvas.module; wall posts and status updates, the fb_stream.module; and so on...

"Chris from LevelTen recently posted a great article on Drupal modules for improved usability. However, these focused on the administrative side of the website, not end users. So here is our own list of modules for the front end of your site! You do not want your Drupal site's users to get lost in a myriad of long forms, fieldsets, page redirects, and confusing tagging. You want to do everything you can to make navigating your site and completing frequent routine tasks as painless as possible for the end user. This will keep them calm and give them warm fuzzies to know that they can use your Drupal site with ease without having to pop a Valium just to endure the overwhelming experience of encountering your site. When you have relaxed, confident and in-control users - you have happy customers which can translate into more traffic, more sales, more word-of-mouth about your website! Now that sounds good doesn't it? Here are nine sure-fire modules to ensure users aren't selecting the "nightmare" button when interacting with your Drupal site."

" One common Drupal beginner question is "What kind of site can I make with Drupal?" - followed quickly by "How do I make that kind of site?". It's not hard to find answers. In addition to great Drupal.org resources like the Site recipes page, the Web abounds with lists of inspirations and how-to recipes for your next Drupal creation. I recently ran across 8 types of sites you can build with Drupal - not a great resource with hands-on detail, but a nice pointer to some of the modules you'll find useful for a news portal, video-sharing site, and so on. I took some time to update my Links page with that article and even better resources. Take a look, especially under the directory and showcase headings; you'll find enough Drupal ideas and blueprints to keep you busy for a long time. Are there more recipe and blueprint sites I should add to the links?"

Image FUpload (Multiupload) which is an addition to image and CCK's imagefield module, gives the ability to every user who is allowed to upload images by using image module or imagefield module, to upload multiple images with one simple click. All selected images are uploaded via a flash module (swfupload) and are automatically processed. So, there's no need any more to upload image by image. Features Upload multiple images with one click Fully integrates in image and imagefield module (thumbs creation [also using imagecache module] / file size limit) + using Drupals AJAX Every user can upload images depending on permission (Not only restricted to administrator) Preview list of all uploaded images in which title, body, taxonomy and imagefield specific fields can be edited all at once (customisable [decide which fields should be provided] / themeable / preview image handling customisable / additional permission restrictions) Taxonomy and all other modules (for example CCK fields like node reference) are supported Automatic node title creation and predefining of imagefield fields (customisable / themeable / editable by user / token support [imagefield])

The GMap module provides an interface to the Google Maps API within Drupal. It integrates with the Location module to provide users a clickable map for entering latitude and longitude, as well as to display maps of Drupal nodes and users. GMap can be used to create interactive maps with various map markers and content in map bubbles, taking advantage of Drupal's other content management features. The module also provides a Views display plugin which allows users to display the results of a view on a Google map. The GMap package consists of the following modules: GMap: provides the GMap API, integration with Views and Location, and GMap macros. GMap Location: Provides a map of all a site's nodes and a map of all of the site users. GMap Taxonomy: Allows you to display different map markers based on taxonomy of a specific node. GMap Macro Builder: Provides a GUI for building "macros" (a text-based way of describing arbitrary GMaps). In order to use this module, you need a (free) Google Maps API key.

"If you are new to drupal, then this list is for you. These are some of the best of the best drupal modules. Everything from standard framework modules, to location and mapping is covered. Note that if you've been emersed in drupal for some time, than this will be "old news"."

" The Filter Default module allows you to assign a default input format for new nodes and comments for each role on your site. It adds a 'Defaults' tab to the Administer > Site configuration > Input formats page on which you can manage the assignments. Note: This functionality will be built into Drupal 7, so Filter Default will not be maintained beyond Drupal 6. Also, Drupal 6 users should take a look at Better Formats module, which covers more ground than Filter Default. Whenever a new node or comment is being created, each text input box with multiple allowed input formats is initially configured based on the settings for the user's roles. The user's lowest-weighted role (as defined on the settings page) that the user posseses is used. For a user that does not have any role indicated in the table, the default input format will be the one selected on the Input formats > List page. This module has no effect on which input formats any user is allowed to use. It merely sets initially selected input format when there are multiple choices. For example, suppose you have roles 'author' and 'admin' on your site in addition to the standard 'anonymous user' and 'authenticated user' and that your input formats defaults table looks like this:"

"How to get a notification whenever you receive a comment from your drupal web ? This is how I do it with RULES module . I think trigger module would also do the trick, but I found RULES module has many more options & work better with token (as I had bad experience with Trigger module for not being able to make a proper tokenized email)."

Migrate 2: For compatibility between Drupal 6 and Drupal 7 implementations of Migrate 2, all features in core for Drupal 7 are supported by the Migrate 2 module itself on both 6 and 7. Notably, that means while CCK support was in migrate_extras for Migrate 1, it is in migrate itself for Migrate 2.

migrating content into Drupal from other sources (e.g., when converting a web site from another CMS to Drupal). Out-of-the-box, support for creating core Drupal objects such as nodes, users, and comments is included - it can easily be extended for migrating other kinds of content. Content is imported and rolled back using Drush commands.

Backup and Migrate simplifies the task of backing up and restoring your Drupal database or copying your database from one Drupal site to another. It supports gzip, bzip and zip compression as well as automatic scheduled backups. With Backup and Migrate you can dump some or all of your database tables to a file download or save to a file on the server, and to restore from an uploaded or previously saved database dump. You can chose which tables and what data to backup and cache data is excluded by default.

"The common denominator for all Drupal modules/profiles/themes that integrate with external libraries. This module introduces a common repository for libraries in sites/all/libraries resp. sites//libraries for contributed modules."

"This module will display a view of images using the ImageFlow JavaScript plugin available from http://finnrudolph.de/ImageFlow. ImageFlow is a picture gallery, which allows an intuitive image handling. The basic idea is to digitally animate the thumbing through a physical image stack. That intuitive handling is automatically caused by the metaphorical use of the well known process of thumbing through. This solution is known as the Cover Flow technique, which has been developed by the artist Andrew Coulter Enright. Now - after it has been bought by Apple - it is used in iTunes and the file browser of Apples OSX."

This module allows users with proper permissions to upload images into Drupal. Thumbnails and additional sizes are created automatically. Images could be posted individually to the front page, included in stories or grouped in galleries.

API integration with the Twitter microblogging service and API-compatible alternatives like Identi.ca. Out of the box, it allow users to: Associate one or more Twitter accounts with their Drupal user account Have their tweets displayed in a sidebar block or on their user profile, and Post to their own Twitter account or a site-wide Twitter account whenever they create new content. Full Views integration is supported, allowing administrators to create customized listings of Twitter messages based on time, date, author, etc. The module's default "Latest Twitter messages" block and "This user's Twitter messages" profile page were created with Views, and can be customized and themed as desired. A "Post to Twitter" action is provided for use with tools like Trigger (core module) and Workflow, and an input filter is provided to turn Twitter @username references into links, and #hashtags into links to search.twitter.com.

The Media module provides an extensible framework for managing files and multimedia assets, regardless of whether they are hosted on your own site or a 3rd party site - it is commonly refered to as a 'file browser to the internet'. It replaces the Drupal core upload field with a unified User Interface where editors and administrators can upload, manage, and reuse files and multimedia assets. Media's aim is to solve Drupal's long standing media handling problem.

"Views Slideshow can be used to create a slideshow of any content (not just images) that can appear in a View. Powered by jQuery, it is heavily customizable: you may choose slideshow settings for each View you create. "

"Process variables for node.tpl.php Most themes utilize their own copy of node.tpl.php. The default is located inside "modules/node/node.tpl.php". Look in there for the full list of variables. The $variables array contains the following arguments: $node $view_mode $page "

"Enables the organization of content into categories."

Alternative method for grouping content/users around a particular "master node". Uses CCK reference fields with special permissions handling.
