Module Link: http://drupal.org/project/views404 Who: Technical Users What: The Views 404 module returns 404 codes when you enter in any thing in the URL after your defined view URL. When: Use this module when your website is showing a lot of duplicate content in the search engines from your Views. Note: DO NOT USE THIS MODULE IF YOU HAVE VIEWS WITH URL BASED ARGUMENTS! Where: This module is an oddity, I couldn't find any configurable options at all. Just enable it and for get it. Why: This module is for people who want to get every bit of SEO into a site. I don't use this module and I've never run into too much of an issue with duplicate content.   Theme song "i dunno" by grapes. module-a-day_podcast-0018.mp3

Module Link: http://drupal.org/project/nrembrowser Who: Currently developers only. Eventually: Everybody What: The Node Reference/Embed Media browser aims to make node reference fields easier by allowing users to select nodes and media through a graphical modal window. When: Use this module when you want to make it easier for content editors to add node references to nodes (particularly graphical node references). This module is currently Alpha and I would recommend not using it on any production site until it has a stable release. Where: This module is administered through the CCK fields interface. Just select Node Reference and then the media browser widget. You can go back and retroactively modify your existing content types that use Node References to use this widget. Why: Having to remember what the image of the cute fuzzy panda isn't easy when you have thousands of pictures. This module makes it easier for your users by allowing them to see the picture and then click on it.   Theme song "i dunno" by grapes. module-a-day_podcast-0017.mp3

Module Link: http://drupal.org/project/teleport Who: Technical and non-technical users What: The teleport module allows administrators to navigate a Drupal site like they would with Quicksilver, Google Quick Search Box or Gnome Do (via keyboard) When: When you're tired of moving your mouse around and clicking on a dozen links to get to a part of the site (and you're good at typing). Where: There are some settings in the Site Configuration section but I just left them alone. Two Notes: 1) Make sure you set the security permissions and 2) the default hotkey is CTRL-M regardless of what operating system you use. Why: It helps you get around the site in a quick manor but is certainly not required.   Theme song "i dunno" by grapes. module-a-day_podcast-0016.mp3

Module Link: http://drupal.org/project/nodereferrer Who: Technical and mid-range technical users What: The NodeReferrer module tells you which nodes are using the Node Reference module to point at it. It does have some configuration items such as total to display, some pager options and which node types to include in it's listing. When: Use this module when you want to have back links to the referring node automatically. Where: This module is entirely setup in your CCK field settings. Do be careful in your settings, NodeReferer does look a lot like Node Reference in that little select list. Why: It's an automatic way to find out which nodes refer to the current node. I sometimes use it as a reverse source for articles I've written.   Theme song "i dunno" by grapes. module-a-day_podcast-0015.mp3

Module Link: http://drupal.org/project/adjustisearch Who: Technical and mid-range technical users What: The adjusti-search module allows you to have a block on your site that enables users to search different search engines by selecting one from a list. When: Use this module when you want your users to search different sources that are external to your site. Where: You can adjust the settings and search engines listed in the Site Configuration section of the admin backend. Don't forget to modify your blocks display to show the block this module created or else it won't actually do anything. Why: If you want to have a search box like Myspace has where the user gets to choose where they search then this is the module for you.   Theme song "i dunno" by grapes. module-a-day_podcast-0014.mp3

Module Link: http://drupal.org/project/sections Who: This module is for technical users that will be setting up the site. It's configuration isn't too complex but understanding paths is helpful. This module will be familiar to users who are used to editing blocks since it has a similar interface for adding sections. What: The sections module allows you to change the theme on a few variables like path, user and PHP snipit. When: Use this module when you need to change the page for a page, section or user. Where: The settings for this module are found in the site building section of the admin back end. Why: Sometimes you just need part of your site to look different for whatever reason. If you need a simple version of this module, use Sections, if you need a more complex version, use Theme Key.   Theme song "i dunno" by grapes. module-a-day_podcast-0013.mp3

Module Link: http://drupal.org/project/themekey Who: This module is for technical users that will be setting up the site. It's configuration can be complex and you have to understand Drupal fairly well to make the best of it. What: The theme key module allows you to change the theme on a variety of trigers like path, user id, etc. You will need to install additional modules to tie into things like taxonomy. When: Use this module when you need to change the page for a page, section or any of the 50 or so other triggers. I'm still not sure when most of the triggers would come in handy. Where: The settings for this module are found in the site configuration section of the admin back end. Make sure that you install the associated UI module or adding rules might be a problem (as in you can't). Why: Sometimes you just need part of your site to look different for whatever reason.   Theme song "i dunno" by grapes. module-a-day_podcast-0012.mp3

Module Link: http://drupal.org/project/imagefield_crop Who: Technical and non-technical users but I'd imagine it will benefit non-technical users who don't have software like photoshop laying around. What: The imagefield crop module allows you crop down large images after you upload them to the site. This can be used with or in place of imagecache. When: Use this module when you either don't have Photoshop/Gimp/Whatever or you don't feel like running it. This module is a big help for clients that don't understand that they just can't upload files directly from their digital cameras and expect them to "Just Fit" Where: This module is setup in your content types. It will be listed as a field widget when you select "file" Why: This module is about making life easier. It's certainly not required but it sure does make uploading images nice.   Theme song "i dunno" by grapes. module-a-day_podcast-0011.mp3

Module Link: http://drupal.org/project/security_review Who: This is a module for all Drupal Admins, technical, non-technical What: The security review module checks your site for common security holes. When: I recommend this module for all sites. Where: /sites/all/modules Why: Even the best admin misses something every once.  Those who don't have a security background can use this for a leg up.   Theme song "i dunno" by grapes. module-a-day_podcast-0010.mp3

Module Link: http://drupal.org/project/override_node_options Who: This is a module for all Drupal Admins, technical, non-technical What: The override node options module allows the administrator better control the publishing options that roles have available to them. When: Use this module when you want to give your users the ability to publish nodes but only control some of the publishing options. Where: /sites/all/modules Why: By default the publishing options are all or nothing.  This lets you find the grey area.   Theme song "i dunno" by grapes. module-a-day_podcast-0009.mp3
