Posted on Mar 06, 2009 by barinder
This is a outcome of interesting survey done among Drupal Developers.One fine day all Drupal Developers were asked to present their list of most favourite Drupal modules that they cannot live without while using Drupal 6. Here is the list of those modules.
CCK: This is the most popular module among all Drupal users. It provides you a way to design their own content types, using this module you can design your own custom fields. Apart from this base module, there are several modules belonging to CCK group that provides specialized field types namely email, image field, date and many more.
Views: This module coupled with CCK takes away lot of Drupal Developers pain. You design your content types using CCK and use views to generate list for display. This is like a query builder which can be used to build your own queries provided you supply enough parameters. The queries can then render the result using Drupal theme functions.

Module comes with couple of additional modules to allow creating image gallery or attach an image with a node. The module also creates thumbnail & preview images for the uploaded image.

With few CSS & HTML twicks it allows you to create a different layout for a webpage. Using panels, it is easy to create landing pages for different section or channels in your website and assign them different look say some 2- 3 - 4 column layout while your theme support just two column layout in your website.
Token:This module is a great help, it provides you placeholder variable like %site-name, through an api. These variable can be used at any other place and a value of the variable will be displayed whereever used.

Many modules use this to expose their variables.

Da ich diese Liste fast perfekt finde, denke ich, dass es auch wenig Sinn macht eine eigene zu schreiben.
Hier aber ein paar Ergänzungen von Modulen, die sich bei mir bewährt haben:
- BUEditor
- Teaser Thumbnail
- External Links
- Contemplate
- Smileys
- Thickbox
Mehr Geheimnisse werden nicht verraten :D
Viel Spaß damit!
