Five Drupal modules you're probably missing out on
Here are five under-rated Drupal modules with less than 10,000 installs (at the time of writing!) which we use all the time.
1. Paragraphs
Take a look at this fully flexible content creation module called Paragraphs which has 822 reported installs.
Our Content & Marketing Strategist, Emily Turner, explains:
"Paragraphs enables me to create visually interesting content easily. I can choose from a variety of block types which support text, images and iframe content. I can reorder them and control the look quickly, switching alignment left or right. At Deeson, we've put a lot of effort into customising Paragraphs to help with the editing and publishing process. It makes blogs look more lively and gives creators the control they crave."
2. Coffee
Navigate through Drupal admin quickly with Coffee, which has 7,577 installs reported.
So if you're finding the nav bar a little slow, give this a go! Just Alt+D and type away.
Mac users will know this as similar to Alfred.
3. Navbar
Take a look at Navbar, with 6,238 reported installs, for a mobile friendly nav bar.
This is a backport of the Drupal 8 mobile friendly nav bar. We are using this for all new sites.
4. Image Field Focus
We're a big fan of Image Field Focus, which has 5,525 reported installs.
It allows smart cropping of images and combines well with the Picture element, as we explored in our recent post.
5. Publication date
The Publication Date module is the missing date stamp in Drupal and has 1,548 reported installs.
It automatically sets itself when you tick the publish box so that newly published content will always be at the top of your listings, even if it’s been in draft for months.
