modules

I’ve just published the Organic Groups Privacy module to Drupal.Org. It’s an API module intended to help give developers an easy and flexible way to define public access to Organic Groups posts. It exists specifically so I can convince Spaces that I really mean it when I say an arbitrary 90% of an Organic Group should be private.

It is bundled with a Feature that demonstrates how you might integrate it with an Open Atrium site, but the core of OG Privacy can be useful even without Spaces being in the mix at all.

Freelinking 1.x was previously announced as feature-frozen, and the next thing to unsupported. Looking at the long development cycle for Freelinking 3 reaching stability, the issue queue was dusted off.

Freelinking 1.9 will fix a number of bugs in 1.8, and smooth out the transition to FL3. Please go on over to the Freelinking homepage and download the dev version to try it out.

Freelinking 1.9 will be released this week.

This post briefly evaluates the available modules for Drag-n-Drop File Upload & Management in Drupal. Quick summary: It is a sad and sorry thing, with most of the long term solutions in an infant state, and the mature solutions declining or in need of a massive overhaul to stay relevant in Drupal 7.
