General
- Drupal dev docs - "Newcomers to Drupal development should read the conceptual information provided in the 'Components of Drupal' section, and then proceed to examine one of the heavily-documented example modules below. The examples are fully-functioning Drupal modules, so you can download them from the contributions repository and alter them as you experiment."
- Preying on the drupal_alter() - API overview video. somewhat quiet sound. [1]
Drupal.org
see project page right sidebar links for git, patches pending, etc.
Command-line
Composer
- https://github.com/zaporylie/composer-drupal-optimizations - This composer-plugin contains a set of improvements that makes running heavy duty composer commands (i.e. composer update or composer require) much faster.
composer update 'drupal/*' --with-dependencies
php -d memory_limit=-1 composer require zaporylie/composer-drupal-optimizations
Drush
- Drush - a command line shell and Unix scripting interface for Drupal. Drush core ships with lots of useful commands for interacting with code like modules/themes/profiles. Similarly, it runs update.php, executes sql queries and DB migrations, and misc utilities like run cron or clear cache. Drush can be extended by 3rd party commandfiles.
composer require drush/drush
Commands
I have dr
as an alias for drush

drush vset --yes site_offline_message "This site is being maintained"; drush vset --yes site_offline 1;
In Drupal 7 to simply put the site into maintenance mode:
drush vset --yes maintenance_mode 1;
drush user-login ryan displays a one-time login link for the user ryan. open `drush user-login ryan` open said link in browser dr uli
Site aliases
Drush uses site alias files to store context data. (Aegir still uses Drush 4)
drush help site-alias
Copy to ~/.drush, rename aliases.drushrc.php or further.
drush ev 'print_r(array_keys(drush_sitealias_get_record("@server_master")))' drush ev '$a = drush_sitealias_get_record("@gk.dev"); print_r($a["path-aliases"]);'

Admin
- https://www.drupal.org/project/module_filter - quickly find the module you are looking for without having to rely on the browsers search feature which more times than not shows you the module name in the 'Required by' or 'Depends on' sections of the various modules or even some other location on the page like a menu item.

Views
- http://drupal.org/project/semanticviews - This Views plugin makes unformatted styles, field row styles and other output more readily configurable without needing to override template files. Instead of overriding row style templates for views where you want to specify different HTML elements (tags) and class attributes, you can specify these inside the Views UI and avoid overriding templates for each view.
- http://drupal.org/project/views_bulk_operations - perform bulk operations on content via views

For each context, you can choose the conditions that trigger this context to be active and choose different aspects of Drupal that should react to this active context.
Display Suite
- http://drupal.org/project/ds - Display Suite allows you to take full control over how your content is displayed using a drag and drop interface. Arrange your nodes, views, comments, user data etc. the way you want without having to work your way through dozens of template files. A predefined list of layouts is available for even more drag and drop fun!
Panels
- http://drupal.org/project/panels_everywhere - Panels Everywhere is an advanced method to completely do away with Drupal's restrictive blocks system and instead use the much more freeing Panels Layout system to control how your pages look. Panels Everywhere modifies the page as it is being rendered to 'wrap' the content in a display and can even take over your page theme to do away with the need for a page.tpl.php.
Nodequeue
Manual list of content items, can be used in Views.
- http://drupal.org/sandbox/amateescu/1429904 - entityqueue
Path
- http://drupal.org/project/pathauto - The Pathauto module automatically generates URL/path aliases for various kinds of content (nodes, taxonomy terms, users) without requiring the user to manually specify the path alias. This allows you to have URL aliases like /category/my-node-title instead of /node/123. The aliases are based upon a "pattern" system that uses tokens which the administrator can change.
- http://drupal.org/project/subpathauto - The Drupal Path module matches only full URLs when creating SEO-friendly aliases. This module extends that behavior by also matching known sub-paths and replacing them with their respective alias.
- http://drupal.org/project/pathologic - an input filter which can correct paths in links and images in your Drupal content in situations which would otherwise cause them to “break;” for example, if the URL of the site changes, or the content was moved to a different server. Pathologic can also solve the problem of missing images and broken links in your site’s RSS feeds.
- http://drupal.org/project/redirect - Provides the ability to create manual redirects and maintain a canonical URL for all content, redirecting all other requests to that path.
- http://drupal.org/project/empty_page - The Empty Page module is a simple empty page solution. It provides an interface that assists in managing "empty" menu callbacks, mostly used for pages that only consist of blocks.
- http://drupal.org/project/xmlsitemap - The XML sitemap module creates a sitemap that conforms to the sitemaps.org specification. This helps search engines to more intelligently crawl a website and keep their results up to date. The sitemap created by the module can be automatically submitted to Ask, Google, Bing (formerly Windows Live Search), and Yahoo! search engines. The module also comes with several submodules that can add sitemap links for content, menu items, taxonomy terms, and user profiles.
Menus
- http://drupal.org/project/menu_attributes - specify attributes for menu items such as id, name, class, style, and rel

Even if this feature is not configured for normal site users, it can be a useful feature for an administrator of a site to receive notification of new content submissions and comment posts.
- Subscriptions enables users to subscribe to be notified of changes to nodes or taxonomies, such as new comments in specific forums, or additions to some category of blog. Once enabled, all nodes will have an additional link that allows the user to change their subscriptions. Users have tab on their user screen to manage their own subscriptions. Users can also set an auto-subscribe function which notifies the user if anyone comments on posts they have made. Admins can turn this on by default.

Spamicide adds an input field to each form then hides it with css, when spam bots fill in the field the form is discarded. The field, and matching .css file, are named in such a way as to not let on that it is a spam defeating device, and can be set by admins to almost anything they like(machine readable please). If logging is set, the log will show if and when a particular form has been compromised, and the admin can change the form's field name (and corresponding .css file) to something else.
- https://www.drupal.org/project/captcha_free - Try this module especially to eliminate those robot user registrations and having to go in and delete all the bogus users. All without having to use the annoying captcha.
CAPTCHA
- http://drupal.org/project/captcha - A CAPTCHA is a challenge-response test most often placed within web forms to determine whether the user is human. The purpose of CAPTCHA is to block form submissions by spambots, which are automated scripts that post spam content everywhere they can. The CAPTCHA module provides this feature to virtually any user facing web form on a Drupal site.
- https://www.drupal.org/project/trick_question - A very small and simple CAPTCHA-type spam prevention module. A lightweight, compact and simple alternative to larger and more complex modules
Honeypots
- http://drupal.org/project/honeypot - Honeypot uses both the honeypot and timestamp methods of deterring spam bots from completing forms on your Drupal site (read more here). These methods are effective against many spam bots, and are not as intrusive as CAPTCHAs or other methods which punish the user [YouTube].
- https://www.drupal.org/project/httpbl - can prevent email address harvesters and comment spammers from visiting your site by using a centralized DNS blacklist. It requires a free Project Honey Pot membership. This module provides efficient blacklist lookups and blocks malicious visitors effectively.
Login
- https://www.drupal.org/project/login_destination - The Login Destination module allows you to customize the destination that a user is redirected to after logging in, registering to the site (7.x), using a one-time login link or logging out (7.x). The destination can be an internal page or an external URL. It is possible to specify certain conditions like referring pages or user roles and make the destination depend upon them. You may use PHP snippets to provide custom conditions and destinations. It is also possible to keep users on the currently visited page after logging in or out.
Cookies
- https://www.drupal.org/project/eu_cookie_compliance - This module addresses the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) that came into effect 25th May 2018, and the EU Directive on Privacy and Electronic Communications from 2012. It provides a GDPR cookie banner where you can gather consent from the user when the website stores cookies on their computer or otherwise handles their personal information.
Passwords
- https://www.drupal.org/project/force_password_change - This module allows administrators to force users, by role, individual user, or newly created user, to change their password on their next page load or login, and/or expire their passwords after a period of time.
- https://www.drupal.org/project/password_policy - This module provides a way to enforce restrictions on user passwords by defining password policies.
Social
- http://drupal.org/project/flag - Flag is a flexible flagging system that is completely customizable by the administrator. Using this module, the site administrator can provide any number of flags for nodes, comments, users, and any other type of entity. Some possibilities include bookmarks, marking important, friends, or flag as offensive. With extensive views integration, you can create custom lists of popular content or keep tabs on important content.
- https://www.drupal.org/project/vote_up_down - Allows votes on some drupal entities and provides the base for implementing votes on other entities.
- http://drupal.org/project/message - The Message module is the core of the message stack. It enables logging and displaying system events in a number of different use cases. Events that are recorded over time are sometimes call activity streams. Exportable messages subtypes can be created for different use cases with custom fields and display (view) modes.
- http://drupal.org/project/messaging
Sharing
- http://drupal.org/project/forward - Adds a "forward this page" link to each node. This module allows users to email a specific node or other entity on your site to a friend. You can customize the link text and icon and choose the view modes on which the link appears. You can also customize the email template to match the rest of your site. The module includes a report on which pages are forwarded the most and a log of all forwarding activity.
- https://www.drupal.org/project/sharethis - Integration with the ShareThis social bookmarking utility on selected node types.
Themeing
- Theme project | Drupal.org - filter: D9, active
- https://www.drupal.org/project/bootstrap_barrio - a Drupal 8/9 - Bootstrap 4 Base Theme. Drupal markup is completely overwrite as standard Bootstrap 4 markup using from roots twig templates referencing only to Bootstrap CSS, and little custom CSS. Barrio is Flex based for whatever is not covered by Bootstrap.
- https://www.drupal.org/project/bootstrap_sass - This is a Barrio subtheme that simplifies integrating Bootstrap 4 SASS with Drupal.This subtheme overrides almost every CSS from Drupal and replaces where posible Bootstrap variables in order to generate from roots a new set of CSS files.

- http://drupal.org/project/module_builder - A module which auto-generates a skeleton or "scaffolding" for a module, along with hints on how to fill them in. Useful for newbie developers to learn how Drupal code works, and seasoned developers who are too lazy to look up what arguments a function has to take.
- http://drupal.org/project/coder - Coder checks your Drupal code against coding standards and other best practices. It can also fix coding standard violations for you with the phpcbf command from PHP_CodeSniffer, see the installation instructions and usage examples. Those checks apply to all versions of Drupal, so you can use Coder 8.x-3.x to check Drupal 7 code.
- https://www.drupal.org/project/libraries - The common denominator for all Drupal modules/profiles/themes that integrate with external libraries.This module introduces a common repository for libraries in sites/all/libraries resp. sites/<domain>/libraries for contributed modules.

Hooks
"Drupal's module system is based on the concept of "hooks". A hook is a PHP function that is named foo_bar(), where "foo" is the name of the module (whose filename is thus foo.module) and "bar" is the name of the hook. Each hook has a defined set of parameters and a specified result type.
"To extend Drupal, a module need simply implement a hook. When Drupal wishes to allow intervention from modules, it determines which modules implement a hook and calls that hook in all enabled modules that implement it."

Content
Entities
An entity can be a kind of content stack. An entity base table is tied to fields using bundles. Entity types include node, comment, taxonomy term, user profile, organic group, etc. Entity types can allow bundling or not (creating types of node vs. users, though see the Profile 2 module). Fields are used to store and display various data types, and can be reused across bundles and entities.

- http://drupal.org/project/entity - used for improvements to Drupal 8's Entity API which will be moved to Drupal core one day (development ongoing)
- http://drupal.org/project/eva - Entity Views Attachment
- https://www.drupal.org/project/entityqueue - The Entityqueue module allows users to create queues of any entity type. Each queue is implemented as an Entity Reference field, that can hold a single entity type.
- http://drupal.org/project/auto_entitylabel - "Automatic Entity Label" is a small and efficient module that allows hiding of entity label fields. To prevent empty labels it can be configured to generate the label automatically by a given pattern.
Ctools
Chaos tool suite (ctools) suite is primarily a set of APIs and tools to improve the developer experience. It also contains a module called the Page Manager whose job is to manage pages. In particular it manages panel pages, but as it grows it will be able to manage far more than just Panels.
For the moment, it includes the following tools:
- Plugins -- tools to make it easy for modules to let other modules implement plugins from .inc files.
- Exportables -- tools to make it easier for modules to have objects that live in database or live in code, such as 'default views'.
- AJAX responder -- tools to make it easier for the server to handle AJAX requests and tell the client what to do with them.
- Form tools -- tools to make it easier for forms to deal with AJAX.
- Object caching -- tool to make it easier to edit an object across multiple page requests and cache the editing work.
- Contexts -- the notion of wrapping objects in a unified wrapper and providing an API to create and accept these contexts as input.
- Modal dialog -- tool to make it simple to put a form in a modal dialog.
- Dependent -- a simple form widget to make form items appear and disappear based upon the selections in another item.
- Content -- pluggable content types used as panes in Panels and other modules like Dashboard.
- Form wizard -- an API to make multi-step forms much easier.
- CSS tools -- tools to cache and sanitize CSS easily to make user-input CSS safe.
- Ctools Plugin Stub is a Drush plugin that can help you generate code stub files for ctools plugins. I wrote this plugin after having consistently messed up names of hook implementations in plugins over a long period. Plugin Stub does not write actual code that *does* stuff for you, but it sets you up so that all you have to do to get started is to fill in the capitalized parts of the generated file and start writing code that *does* stuff.
Performance
- http://drupal.org/project/purge - The purge module facilitates cleaning external caching systems, reverse proxies and CDNs as content actually changes. This allows external caching layers to keep unchanged content cached infinitely, making content delivery more efficient, resilient and better guarded against traffic spikes.
- http://drupal.org/project/fast_404 - This module combines a very common method of handling missing image/file 404 errors (discussed here and planned for Drupal 8) with a method created by dpardo (a co-maintainer of this project) to deliver super fast 404 error pages for both missing images and bad paths. Depending on which method of implementation you choose (aggressive or super aggressive) you can deliver 404 errors using less than 1MB of memory on your server.
- http://drupal.org/project/metatag - The Metatag module allows you to automatically provide structured metadata, aka "meta tags", about a website. In the context of search engine optimization, when people refer to meta tags they are usually referring to the meta description tag and the meta keywords tag that may help improve the rankings and display of a site in search engine results. In addition, the module provides support for meta tags (Open Graph Protocol from Facebook, Twitter Cards from Twitter) that allow control of how content appears when shared on social networks.
CloudFlare
- https://www.drupal.org/project/cloudflare - CloudFlare is a FREE reverse proxy, firewall, and global content delivery network and can be implemented without installing any server software or hardware.
Analytics
- http://drupal.org/project/google_analytics - Adds the Google Analytics web statistics tracking system to your website.
- https://www.drupal.org/project/matomo - Adds the Matomo web statistics tracking system to your website.
Humour
- http://drupal.org/project/doabarrelroll - Habe you ever wondered how does Google do a barrel roll when you type in 'do a barrel roll' in the search bar? Have you ever wanted to have the same functionality in your web site? Look no further: this module will give all the barrel roll awesomeness you ever wanted.
- http://drupal.org/project/konamicode - The Konami Code is a cheat code that appeared in many Konami video games. The Konami Code module makes it so that when users enter a given code on your website, it invokes a certain action.
E-commerce

Payment
- Payment is a general payment platform which allows other modules to use any of the payment methods that plug into Payment. With Payment we only need one one Paypal, one credit card and one iDEAL module to use with every single webshop or payment form that you want (applies to any payment method that works with Payment). This shortens development time and improves support, because only one instead of three Paypal modules need to be maintained, and simplifies UX, because all payment (method) information is now located in one place.
