- Modules and Add-Ons to consider:

  • Module Review:
    • TinyMCE WYSIWYG Editor Works very well. 
    • Feedback: Contact Form: Nice, simple interface to get 
    • Chat Options:
      • Chatbox Simple, light and most can access.   
      • Sigma Chat (Java Based) 3rd Party Free Add-On:  Can run into access problems.  Using on WorldBridges, but can still run into problems.
      • myChingo (Add-on) Web based voicemail. 
      • Meebome (Add-on) Way to initiate chat with site visitors. 
    • Import / Export Books:
      •  Export DXML Ability to edit offline or import into another Drupal book or site.
      • Book Import Ability to import books previously exported from a Drupal site.
    • Spam Blocking:
    • Simplenews - e-mail newsletter A top favorite module 
    • Notify -  Allows users and administrators to subscribe to emails tracking new or revised content and/or comments.  Nice for site administrators.
    • Print Friendly Pages A must have. Allows you to print. 
    • Event Usefull, but some faults. Time zone function is a bit tricky.  Visitors see in time zone where it is posted. Would like to see a way to aggregate all events across sites through tags.  Feed loses time / date.
    • Photo Display:
    • Audio: 
      • Audio Alternatively, you can upload audio file and insert a flash player in the notes. 
      • Playlist A great resource for podcasters.
      • Jukebox (3rd Party Add-On): Good for streaming.
    • Video Alterantively, you can update a video file and insert a flash player in the notes. 
    • Site Statistics - Provides additional site statistics, including estimate of subscribers to your site.
