Every once in a while I'll run into a request for one of my Drupal sites which has a module that will accomplish it. Sometimes I will remember the name, but most times I will not due to the plethera of modules that come across on a daily basis. Today that module was "Text Formatter." I'm not sure I totally dig the name that they've come up with, but the module is a lifesaver.

A module that I haven't been able to live without since I got into Drupal is called Menu Trails.

This module has been a lifesaver for me and a necessity on most all of my Drupal sites. One thing that I like to do on my Drupal sites is use Views to generate lists of nodes. Views makes that kind of stuff quick and easy. Menu trails fills a gap that, in my opinion, Drupal has completely left out. The Menu Trails module allows you to take node types and taxonomy vocabularies and automatically add them under a certain menu item (retaining breadcrumbs).

I'm going to start a new tradition of including blog posts of "modules that I love!"

My first "module that I love" was one that I just came across this evening while doing some research for a small client of mine in the Las Vegas area. Her e-mail was as follows:

"Could you tell me how I can take a ton of emails from excel spreadsheet and put them in a distribution list so that I can blast a flyer about our grand opening"
