Localizer

Localizer allows translation of the following system objects: Menus, Nodes, Taxonomy, System settings (variables) and Views

Image Assist

This module allows users to upload and insert inline images into posts. It automatically generates an “Add image” link under fields of your choice. Clicking the link opens an image browsing window, displaying all images that have been uploaded through the Image module.

Webform

This module adds a webform nodetype to your Drupal site. Typical uses for webform are to create questionnaires, contact or request/register forms, surveys, polls or a front end to issues tracking systems.

Content Templates

The Content Template (a.k.a. ConTemplate) module allows modification of Drupal’s teaser and body fields using administrator defined templates. These templates use PHP code and all of the node object variables are available for use in the template. An example node object is displayed and it is as simple as clicking on its properties to add them to the current template.

This module was written to solve a need with the Content Construction Kit (CCK), where it had a tendency toward outputting content in a not-very-pretty way. And as such, it dovetails nicely with CCK, adding a “template” tab to CCK content-type editing pages and pre-populating the templates with CCK’s default layout. This makes it easy to rearrange fields, output different fields for teaser and body, remove the field title headers, output fields wrapped for use with tabs.module (part of JSTools), or anything you need.

SMTP Authentication support

This module allows Drupal to bypass the PHP mail() function and send email directly to an SMTP server. The module supports SMTP authentication and can even connect to servers using SSL if supported by PHP.

Workflow-ng

Workflow-ng allows one to customize drupal’s built in workflows in a very flexible way. In short, it’s a rule-based event driven action evaluation system. (more)

E.g. this is useful for
• sending customized mails notifying your users about important changes
• building flexible content publishing workflows
• creating custom redirections
• and a lot more….

Node Hierarchy

Node Hierarchy allows nodes to be children of other nodes creating a tree-like hierarchy of content. The module offers:

  • 1-Click creation of hierarchical menus
  • Hierarchical breadcrumbs
  • Automatic hierarchical urls using Pathauto (and token module)

Panels

This module allows you to create pages that are divided into areas of the page. Where the dashboard module only gave four areas–top, bottom, left and right–this one is a completely flexible system that includes a couple of 2 column and 3 column layouts by default, but is also highly extensible and other layouts can be plugged in with a little HTML and CSS knowledge, with just enough PHP knowledge to be able to edit an include file without breaking it.
