You need Views if

  • You like the default front page view, but you find you want to sort it differently.
  • You like the default taxonomy/term view, but you find you want to sort it differently; for example, alphabetically.
  • You use /tracker, but you want to restrict it to posts of a certain type.
  • You like the idea of the 'article' module, but it doesn't display articles the way you like.
  • You want a way to display a block with the 5 most recent posts of some particular type.
  • You want to provide 'unread forum posts'.
  • You want a monthly archive similar to the typical Movable Type/Wordpress archives that displays a link to the in the form of "Month, YYYY (X)" where X is the number of posts that month, and displays them in a block. The links lead to a simple list of posts for that month.

Views can do a lot more than that, but those are some of the obvious uses of Views.

The Taxonomy Lineage module adds a table to the taxonomy database which allows nodes to be sorted by taxonomy hierarchy. The module adds no new sort function by itself, so simply adding this module will not add functionality. However, it can be used with the Views module, and PHP snippets or custom code may be written to sort, as well.

Freemind is an open source "mindmapping" tool to help organise your thoughts and to provide a clear visual means of displaying ideas.

Currently, the module displays or exports a vocabulary, but I am planning views integration and more (even the craziest ideas are welcomed :) ).

Status update: since it is very difficult to edit a mindmap and send it back to the server, this module will do only visualization. If you want to do mindmapping with editing support, you probably want Graphmind.

Last.fm 2.x is a Views 3 backend for last.fm, allowing site builders to query the api through Views. This is going to be a hobby/side project for the most part, but I do plan to release early and often. Development is now going on in the 7.x-2.x, and currently support for Event querying is mostly supported. If you are interested in being involved please let me know!

Drupal vB integrates vBulletin forums with Drupal. It allows

  • existing vBulletin users to log in to Drupal
  • new vBulletin users to log in to Drupal
  • existing Drupal users to log in to vBulletin (after initial export)
  • new Drupal users to log in to vBulletin
  • a single/shared sign-on when logging in via Drupal
  • updating user data in vBulletin upon update in Drupal
  • deleting users in vBulletin upon deletion in Drupal

Unlike vbDrupal (a fork of Drupal), Drupal vB turns Drupal's user-base into the primary user-base (while still allowing existing and new vBulletin users to logon with their user credentials in Drupal) and does not require patches to Drupal core.

Drupal vB currently ships with 3 blocks:

  • Recent threads/posts
  • Forum users/posts/pm statistics for the current user
  • Overall forum statistics (administrative)
