" 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:"

Handy bit of text to copy and paste into a webform select component. Especially if you want a list of countries.

List of a whole bunch of slideshow/sliding/banner style modules.

wordpress_migrate supports migrating WordPress blog exports (WXR format) into Drupal using the Migrate module. Import of posts, pages, comments, attachments, tags and categories is supported. Imports can be rolled back completely.

augments Views by allowing bulk operations to be executed on the nodes displayed by a view. It does so by showing a checkbox in front of each node, and adding a select box containing operations that can be applied on the selected nodes.

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.

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.

" 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?"

"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 "

"Formats an internal or external URL link as an HTML anchor tag. This function correctly handles aliased paths, and adds an 'active' class attribute to links that point to the current page (for theming), so all internal links output by modules should be generated by this function if possible."
