Contributed Module Ideas

Do you know of a module that would/could tie a user profile to a CCK created content-type?
Here's our problem: we are moving away from CiviCRM (don't get me started with the issues). Can we tie a particular content-type (or multiple content-types) through the use something like the Subforms modules to user profiles? Can we then let user creation spawn two records-- a user record; and a new node coupled to the user record? Then the content node could be used in isolation; or the user account could be edited later and those changes would alter the associated node?

Purpose of module:

This module will implement Twitter-style following functionality for Drupal community websites. On Twitter you follow people you find interesting and people who find interesting follow you. People you are following show up on your home page in a river-of-news format. My proposed module would do the same thing for a Drupal community site. You follow people who's post you find interesting and are followed by people who find you interesting.

I wrote a bit here about how the twitter model is useful.

After 3 months of intense work... I'm proud to announce first stable release of Organic Groups Subscriptions ! now available.

Special thanks to gustav, he is a wonderful mentor and project lead.

Hope you enjoy it...

Blessings!

I'm excited about building a module that, if designed properly, would useful to others. I see how it might be useful for the development of a human resources department for personnel reviews and really any place where reports or static documents pass from one party to another.

I am building a community site based around an organization. We produce custom reports for many of the community members and provide them through a very simple and custom php app on our website. I want to move this to drupal to take advantage of the other powers to build community, as well as flexibility to improve access to these reports for archive purposes.

This has been floating around in my head for several months, but I've not developed a drupal module before so I crave review, comment and even participation.

Reuters released a web service called Open Calais. It is built on <a href=''http://www.clearforest.com/">clear forest technology that has been around for a while.

You can throw text at it and get tags organized by country, personalities, industry terms, ... in RDF format back. It is of better accuracy than http://tagger.flaptor.com/findtags, http://tagthe.net or yahoo terms extraction API (http://www.programmableweb.com/api/yahoo-term-extraction, http://drupal.org/project/yahoo_terms)

After spending hours with Taxonomy trying to use it to construct a single tiered Library, The problem was that the module of taxonomy was too specific to what it does. I also saw that with in my code, I was running multiple select statements that were unnecessary. In addition my library was small, and I feared using a growing database full of taxonomy data would hinder the performance of my script. Simply put, Taxonomy was to high level for what I needed, and didn't provide the low level functionality and flexibility that I wanted.

I needed to write my own library routine, and modifying taxonomy was not an option. I wasn't using this to classify content, but as a simple place holder for strings. I then went off to write taxonomy 2.0, but found the task was too large on its own to complete in a reasonable time.

Hi all.. I've found a little tool to be usefull in one of my sites. Let me explain.. Under certain situations, I should be sure the user completes a step of a form or a quiz, or just I do need the user to select one Item or accept the terms and conditions before letting him continue, but I have a lot of documentation in the site about how to help filling these forms, or just with enough knowledge to help the user to comply the requeriments.. Even if the user must complete the operation, it should be able to see other content in the site, but do nothing else..

My name is Matthew Pare and I'm a Co-Chair for the "Community and Core" track for Drupalcon Boston 2008. Over the last couple of weeks we have been planning and brainstorming to make Drupalcon Boston 2008 the best Drupalcon to date! One of our recommended track session topics is "Community: Role of the Contributor" and since your viewing this post on the Contributed Module Ideas group I thought you would be excellent candidates for submitting sessions on the topic.

In the last week, I've helped two people deal with {node_access} table issues. http://drupal.org/node/197878 is fairly typical of this sort of problem.

Node Access is spooky stuff for most people, and there is generally no way to fix Node Access issues -- or bulk reset NA rules -- without writing SQL.
