Modules

It was announced this year that the MailChimp module has been upgraded and that it has developed complete integration with Drupal 7. This means that MailChimp’s full functionality is accessible within the Drupal user interface. This is a fundamental change and a complete rewrite of the Drupal 6 MailChimp module.

The Drupal Webform module is a great tool for creating a variety of online forms, particularly surveys. And although it has a lot of very useful features, this module isn't going to be the answer to all of your Drupal survey building prayers. In this post I'll walk through the features available in Webform as well as look at some of its limitations.

One common concern for Drupal sites with multiple content contributors is how to deal with editorial workflow. My organization faced this issue when migrating to Drupal a few years ago and after reviewing the options, I implemented a workflow using the Rules module. This has worked fairly well, but it has always seemed like an inelegant, convoluted solution.

We recently began to consider migrating our sites to Drupal 7, so I took the opportunity to refresh my research on the subject. It was at this point that I discovered Workbench.

The Backup and Migrate module not only makes moving your Drupal database a snap, it could also save your job one day. We've all heard stories about the guy that didn't backup his database. When the day came that the server finally crashed, it was disaster. This module can help ensure you aren't that guy!

But for this excellent module, simple backups are just the beginning. This video tutorial will introduce you to all the useful features it has to offer.
