XII. Expanding Your Site's Capabilities with Modules
Finding Modules
•Modules are freely available in drupal.org in the Modules page.
•CCK – Content Construction Kit – is for the content management.
•Organic Groups allow users to create their own groups.
•The Paging Module enables the user to change the way the page is displayed.
•Views offer multiple ways to display information for multiple nodes in an organized way.
•Drupalmodules.com can help you find modules that are most popular.

Unpacking Modules
•You should install modules in the sites/all/modules subdirectory.
•Modules could be in Dev or still in development stage, Alpha, Beta, or RC(Release Candidate).
•Remember to download only needed modules, don’t overload your site with unnecessary modules.

Configuration Process
•Sometimes, to use the module installed, you need to enable it in the Blocks Administer page.
•While other modules require installation of other modules to be available for use.
•Some might also need configuration outside the Drupal Administration interface.
•So remember to read documentation for proper configuration of modules.

More Modules
•Google Analytics – allows you to keep track of who’s visiting your website and what pages they’re going to.
•Path autho adds user friendly URLs to the nodes you created.
•Ezmlm is a module that requires tweaking outside the Drupal interface.
