Unit 5: Adding Tools to Drupal

This week we added some tools to Drupal such as the image module and CCK and Date fields.  These tools made my collection more presentable in addition to enhancing it.  For example, the fields are displayed in bold with the applicable information underneath it which made it more noticeable.  In addition, for the records consisting of an image, it was nice to see the image displayed in the record along with the other information about the image.  I ended up installing the lightbox2 module; however, I had wanted to add the audio module since I have one recording in my collection.  Unfortunately, in addition to having to install 3 other modules, the 6.x update is incomplete.  Overall, once the creator gets a handle of how to install and configure modules to enhance the collection, Drupal can be a suitable content management system.
