Previous episode #104 - Feature Debate

Module of the Week

Features - The features module enables the capture and management of features in Drupal. A feature is a collection of Drupal entities which taken together satisfy a certain use-case.

Features provides a UI and API for taking different site building components from modules with exportables and bundling them together in a single feature module. A feature module is like any other Drupal module except that it contains additional information in its info file so that configuration can be checked, updated, or reverted programmatically.

Group Module - https://www.drupal.org/project/group

The Group module allows you to create arbitrary collections of your content and users on your site and grant access control permissions on those collections

Out of the box, Drupal only allows a person to view, create or edit the different content types you create. However, you might want to be able to let them view or edit all content types, but only in a specific section of the site.

Group also allows you to create communities. Users of the site can become members of a Group. You can then decide what membership of a Group entitles them to, such as access to content only available to members of that Group. There can also be different levels of membership to a Group so, for example, you can have administrative members who can create content and basic members who can only view content within the Group.
