Hi,
Does Content Templates need to use CCK or so they work alone? I read the project page and saw the mention for CCK. It says:

"This module was written to solve a need with the Content Construction Kit (CCK), where it had a tendency toward outputting content in a not-very-pretty way. And as such, it dovetails nicely with CCK, adding a "template" tab to CCK content-type editing pages and pre-populating the templates with CCK's default layout."

Just curious,
Thanks

Just as a more chaotic crowd-created alternative, here's what unspun has for a list of top drupal modules:

1.Content Construction Kit (CCK) (1826)
2.Phptemplate Theme Engine (1304)
3.Feedback (1000)
4.Tinymce Wysiwyg Editor (870)
5.Control Panel (783)
6.Image Module (652)
7.Views (652)
8.Simplenews (652)
9.Ajax Form Builder (522)
10. Printer Friendly Pages (478)

Here's a link to the post with the dynamic list

Nice list. I incorporate many of these modules on my web site.

I am just finishing my first project in Drupal and I really really appriciate this kind of sites. Thank you!

And the 40th gift should be a ruby. I don't have any to mail you, but I'd be happy to throw you a party here in Louisville, KY just to get some more Drupallers in the area.

Hopefully we can get you to test Ubercart before you get to the top 50 list. ;)

Well done guys! I have listed to every podcast since the first one and this is the best yet. Really useful for us guys down in the trenches building web pages.

the last several podcasts have not been playable for me using windows media player. i get the error "the input media format is invalid"

anyone else having this problem or is it just my instance of winblows?

i've downloaded the files several times, same story.

I just finished listening to all 40 podcasts (and all of the unnumbered ones as well) in a row! I did take breaks to eat, sleep and work a bit, but for the last 14 days, that's been my main occupation -- Lullabot Podcast Listener Extraordinaire. It was fantastic! I am new to Drupal and 14 days ago I knew nothing. Back then, in the Dark Ages, I thought a node had something to do with my elbow, or Astronomy, or audio or something. I started -- 14 days ago -- listening to podcast 40 and didn't understand anything. So I began from number one and today, after listening to #40 again, I get it. I have been enlightened.

I am starting a new web project and we decided to use Drupal for our site -- thanks to you and these podcasts that clarified everything (well, almost).

Looking forward to 41...

this is a real treasure for guys like us trying to use drupal for creating rich content based sites.

keep up the good work guys.

can you recommend a mod for giving the raw drupal social network functionality?

Hard to believe the Category module hasn't made this list - I have not done a Drupal site yet without it. Taxonomy on steroids - puts Drupal head and shoulders above any CMS with what is certainly one of the most important aspects of many (most) web sites - taxonomy.

Category module has many improvements over default taxonomy module including tag anything with anything. You have to think about this for a bit to see it - but tag any node with any node... not just a word (taxonomy) - the possibilities are endless.

and then use the usernode module with this and you can now tag content with users and use views to filter - the heart of any decent social networking site.

We're starting to look at moving from Joomal to Drupal - and I would have to say that the Joomla resources sites are a bit better - maybe it's early days for me!

Cheers

thanks at all for creating such useful resources.

The subject is very interesting but all the laughing is very anoying. And you could stick to that subject. I came to this page looking for the best Drupal modules and reviews about it but after more than 12 minutes of the podcast I cannot hear anything interesting... Sorry.

I know this is abit out of date but some of the modules mentioned are still active but maybe a new post with current drupal 6 modules?

I'm excited to update you that today we have officially launched our open source video module for Drupal. Kaltura's All in One Video Module enables Drupal site-builders to easily add video and rich-media functionalities to their sites. The module handles all aspects of adding video, including full hosting and streaming of content. It is extremely flexible, easy to customize and best of all – it's free – Kaltura covers up to 10GB of hosting and streaming (can later be upgraded). It was designed specifically for Drupal and seamlessly integrates with several key Drupal features and modules, including CCK, Views, cron, tags and taxonomy, and user permissions.

Download it: http://corp.kaltura.com/download

Check it out on our demo site: http://drupal.kaltura.org/

I forgot to thank you for letting me sit beside you at one of the Lullabot training that occured a few years ago. It was your birthday and James and the owner got you a punch of bacon and sang you happy birthday I did not have a chance to thank you for the incredible teacher you are. I love the podcast you did here. Keep them coming. YOu have found your passion teaching Drupal I like that you also help the non technical audience like me understand drupal better. I hope to give you another apple apple for the teacher next time we meet, you are a true inspiration!!!
