Some basic Drupal 7 modules

Submitted by Rory Jaffe on

I have just started working with Drupal 7. It is a great content management system but its modularity (and anarchic module development ) means that you have to browse through the many modules to find the ones suited for constructing your site. Here are a few that probably every site could use. Some of these modules are less than intuitive to install (e. g., CKEditor, Superfish), so read the installation instructions carefully.

  3. Logwatch needs to know what to do with the logs
  4. Logrotate needs to know what to do
