Contributed Module Ideas

Here comes another slightly weird module from me:
Demo: Crowd wisdom countdown

It lets users vote on the point in the future when some event might happen and displays a countdown to the average of all votes. On a side note, this is another case of a module growing out of a forum thread.

Module (and theme) list in vanilla Drupal installation (admin/modules and admin/appearance) lack communication between module maintainers and users (site developers/admins).
I would like to build a module that will enrich module list with links to appropriate issue queues, options to submit new issue (with optional list of enabled modules attached to help problem resolution), documentation etc.
From maintainers perspective, it will be nice to have feedback tools - i.e. ask module users if they want specific feature, or what technical solution they prefer if there is a dilemma, and so on.

Hi,
I am thinking of making a module that would allow an administrator to give div name a backend.
On the front end the elements under the div would hide.
upon clicking the div these elements would show up.
Is it a good idea to develop it.
I know it is pretty simple to do it but for newbies like me it could be a timesaver.

I just created a project for a module I am already using locally.
http://drupal.org/project/pageapi

The module hijacks template_preprocess_page, and calls its own hook, hook_pageapi(). This hook runs after hook_init(), and after the page callback, but before any other preprocess page stuff. This is the ideal place for things like drupal_add_js(), especially in cases where we want to keep this out of hook_init().

In the future, I would like this to become the starting place for alternative js and css aggregation, at least on D6.

I've been working on the content/slides for my presentation (Front End Performance) in a week and I've been thinking about various trade offs for various situations. One of the more interesting ones has to do with a very popular page where 99% of visitors bounce off; aka the Slashdot effect. When something like this happens, the less open connections to your server the better.

For a recent project I had several fields on a content type, that could have one or more values.

For example if you have one link you want:
Link: http://example.com/.

But if you have multiple links in the same field, you want:
Links: http://example.com/foo, http://example.com/bar.

I was surprised I didn't find a module that does this, so I experimented with it in a sandbox project.

Hi all:

I want to create a mail marketing module, which give end users the ablity to create contact lists, add contacts, create mails, and send mails.
I have seen SimpleNews, but seems like it's not designed for end users

the module i want to create will contain follow features:
- users can add/import/edit/delete contacts (upload CSV file to import contacts), with a required field email, and some option fields like first name, last name, status(normal/blocked/deleted/unsubscribed)
- users can add/edit/delete contact lists

Update! - ready for review and testing by the community

Abstract

Drupal sites are subject to web-bot registrations that target Drupal's /user/register url. The Members Page module was crafted to fight this nuisance by creating a configurable Members page and a special user register page that allows real users to register immediately without admin approval and regardless of any site settings.

Available for Drupal 6.x, 7.x and 8.x

Hi all,

I created a module (my first) that enables syntax highlighting of source code snippets in nodes. The module uses the google-code-prettify JavaScript library to do the highlighting (http://code.google.com/p/google-code-prettify/).

It works in a none-obtrusive through an input filter, that looks for all pre or code tags and modifies then as needed to enable the highlighting. That has the benefit of making it easy to replace or remove later, as the original node text is not modified.
