Introduction
The user module allows users to register, login, and log out. Users benefit from being able to sign on because it associates content they create with their account and allows various permissions to be set for their roles. The user module supports user roles which establish fine grained permissions allowing each role to do only what the administrator wants them to. Each user is assigned to one or more roles. By default there are two roles anonymous - a user who has not logged in, and authenticated a user who has signed up and who has been authorized.
Introduction
The Trigger module provides the ability to trigger actions upon system events, such as when new content is added or when a user logs in.
The combination of actions and triggers can perform many useful tasks, such as e-mailing an administrator if a user account is deleted, or automatically unpublishing comments that contain certain words. By default, there are five "contexts" of events (Comments, Content, Cron, Taxonomy, and Users), but more may be added by additional modules.
Introduction
The upload module allows users to upload files to the site. The ability to upload files is important for members of a community who want to share work. It is also useful to administrators who want to keep uploaded files connected to posts.
Users with the upload files permission can upload attachments to posts. Uploads may be enabled for specific content types on the content types settings page. Each user role can be customized to limit or control the file size of uploads, or the maximum dimension of image files.
Introduction
The Update status module periodically checks for new versions of your site's software (including contributed modules and themes), and alerts you to available updates.
The report of available updates will alert you when new releases are available for download. You may configure options for update checking frequency and notifications at the Update status module settings page.
Introduction
The tracker module displays the most recently added or updated content on your site, and provides user-level tracking to follow the contributions of particular authors.
Introduction
The taxonomy module allows you to categorize content using various systems of classification. Free-tagging vocabularies are created by users on the fly when they submit posts (as commonly found in blogs and social bookmarking applications). Controlled vocabularies allow for administrator-defined short lists of terms as well as complex hierarchies with multiple relationships between different terms. These methods can be applied to different content types and combined together to create a powerful and flexible method of classifying and presenting your content.
Introduction
The syslog module enables Drupal to send messages to the operating system's logging facility.
Introduction
The statistics module keeps track of numerous site usage statistics, including the number of times, and from where, each of your posts is viewed. These statistics are useful in determining how users are interacting with each other and with your site, and are required for the display of some Drupal blocks.
The statistics module provides:
Introduction
The SimpleTest module is a framework for running automated unit tests in Drupal. It can be used to verify a working state of Drupal before and after any code changes, or as a means for developers to write and execute tests for their modules.
Visit Administer >> Site building >> SimpleTest to display a list of available tests. For comprehensive testing, select all tests, or individually select tests for more targeted testing. Note that it might take several minutes for all tests to complete.)
Introduction
The search module adds the ability to search for content by keywords. Search is often the only practical way to find content on a large site, and is useful for finding both users and posts.
