Modules extend your site functionality beyond Drupal core.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
WHAT TO PLACE IN THIS DIRECTORY?
|
||
|
|
--------------------------------
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Placing downloaded and custom modules in this directory separates downloaded and
|
||
|
|
custom modules from Drupal core's modules. This allows Drupal core to be updated
|
||
|
|
without overwriting these files.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
DOWNLOAD ADDITIONAL MODULES
|
||
|
|
---------------------------
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Contributed modules from the Drupal community may be downloaded at
|
||
|
|
https://www.drupal.org/project/project_module.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
ORGANIZING MODULES IN THIS DIRECTORY
|
||
|
|
------------------------------------
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
You may create subdirectories in this directory, to organize your added modules,
|
||
|
|
without breaking the site. Some common subdirectories include "contrib" for
|
||
|
|
contributed modules, and "custom" for custom modules. Note that if you move a
|
||
|
|
module to a subdirectory after it has been enabled, you may need to clear the
|
||
|
|
Drupal cache so it can be found. (Alternatively, you can disable the module
|
||
|
|
before moving it and then re-enable it after the move.)
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
MULTISITE CONFIGURATION
|
||
|
|
-----------------------
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
In multisite configurations, modules found in this directory are available to
|
||
|
|
all sites. Alternatively, the sites/your_site_name/modules directory pattern
|
||
|
|
may be used to restrict modules to a specific site instance.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
MORE INFORMATION
|
||
|
|
----------------

||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Refer to the "Developing for Drupal" section of the README.txt in the Drupal
|
||
|
|
root directory for further information on extending Drupal with custom modules.
