modules

The Google Books module http://drupal.org/project/google_books is a filter module and an API for the Google Books service, that permits a user to insert rich Google book data, cover images, and inline book readers into nodes via filters with data retrieved from the http://books.google.com domain. The API also allows data to be pulled into flat arrays indexed by the text biblio field identifiers like 'author' or 'title.'

Just found this and have been playing around with it. Still very early on in my assessment of it and it just came out the other day but looks VERY promising for all levels of education. Check out the demo and I'm sure you'll be able to see the possibilities. Basically it lets you create a sticky note or view your own sticky notes. It also has a lot of permission settings so that people can set things to public or private stickies as well as who can view / post notes.

Hi

I have an existing Drupal 5.16 site for our organisation. We have been looking at integrating Moodle to provide education services, but want to investigate using DrupalEd instead.

The reasons are:

1. Moodle replicates a lot of the functionality of Drupal so there is a large amount of redundancy (e.g. user accounts, events);
2. The Moodle API code is horribly written. It is fundamentally flawed, and possibly inherently insecure.

Is there a tarball package with the required modules for me to add DrupalEd to my existing site?

Thanks

Glenn

Just an FYI announcement. If anyone is using the og_forum(http://drupal.org/project/og_forum) module to automatically create forums to go along with user groups, and has been waiting for a D6 version, Paul Booker finally got a chance to port that this past week. I'm excited. It's still a "dev" release, but this new update looks very solid so far. Just thought I'd share.

Hello, all,

I wanted to let you know about two new modules we recently released --

The Jump module allows you to create drop down menus from a variety of different sources, from the menu system to taxonomies to dynamic menus generated via php snippets.
