Chapter 10. Optional Features

There are many features of Drupal that are switched off in the standard installation. This chapter explains what they are and how you can use them.

We will be looking at the following modules:

  • Activity Tracker

  • Aggregator

  • Ban

  • Book

  • Forum

  • Responsive image

  • Statistics

  • Syslog

  • Telephone

When you visit the Modules page of your Drupal installation at admin/modules or from the main menu by clicking on Extend, you will note that a number of modules are unticked, indicating they are not enabled. Some of these modules are really meant for module developers and are outside the scope of this book, so we won't cover every single one.

Go to Extend (admin/modules) now.
