Two years and six weeks ago, when I first was introduced to Drupal, I was amazed by the way it could be so easily customized with new modules and custom functionality. At that time, Drupal had almost 30 modules, which seemed enough to make about any type of site one could imagine. It's hard to believe that now we now have almost 30 CivicActions Drupal Modules ourselves! Most recently, Doug Green released the vocabperms module which allows you to set the permissions on a vocabulary so only certain people can edit it. Initially, it was created for Progressive States Network for propagating content to certain pages and sections. When using vocabperms module, some people can create the node, but others can set or view the vocabulary. The term can then be used in views to determine where the content should be displayed. Another one of Doug's modules, views_fastsearch is also really hot and getting some good traction in the Drupal community. Some Drupal senior developers believe it could be the future of Drupal search. Of course, when it comes to search, Jonathan is playing at the web's bleeding edge. The current release of the the Drupal faceted search module is suitable for the Semantic Web, and can provide drop-in support for CCK and Taxonomy. Arthur recently developed two of my favorite modules to show off the power of Drupal. Media Mover is a YouTube site recipe for Drupal, which we've already deployed for Flunk Arnold, EQ.tv and on shiftinaction.com. The other is SignIt module, which allows users to enable a set of functionality that is often associated with petitions to any cck content type. The functionality includes allowing users (anon or authenticated) to "sign" a node enabled with SignIt functionality. The best part is that SignIt works with CiviCRM, though it is not required. If CiviCRM is installed, SignIt can draw the list of targets from a CiviCRM group and use CiviCRM profiles to supplement the information collected when a user signs a node. Of course, if you want to add free, simple, fast and customizable AJAX chat to your Drupal site, the phpfreechat module module, written by Owen, is all you need. Admin Role module, written by Jacob, is a little helper for Drupal to maintain an admin role which will always keep full permissons. You can use it by simply selecting a role which will be a "admin" role from the settings page, then when you submit the modules page, it will automatically assign all perms available to that role. Notwithstanding, Jacob's most massive contributions have been at the intersection of CiviCRM and CivicActions especially with great projects like the McConnell Foundation Scholarship project. Yes, we've been a busy bunch... We'll plan to keep the blog updated with even more CivicActions Drupal module development as it happens (and show-off some of the cooler, yet older, stuff too)!
