Best Drupal Social Community Modules

Follow Me On Twitter

Drupal, and its contributed social modules, is the perfect system to create a powerful, feature-rich, online social community or networking website, while limiting development expenses and time to get up and running. Here are the best Drupal modules, default and contributed, for social networking that LevelTen has utilized on our community websites:

User Relationships:

As the name says, this module allows users to create relationships with each other. As an admin, you can define relationship types, whether it's "Friend," "Connection," "Coworker," etc. and set either "one-way" or "two-way" relationships. On MadeLoud, an indie music social community, we set up "Friend" and "Fan" relationship types. Fans can have a one-way relationship type of "Fan" with an Artist, while Fans & Artists can have a mutal relationship of "Friends." There are several modules that integrate with the main User Relationships module allowing the utilization of Blocks, Views, Emails, and much more.

Privatemsg:

This module allows basic messaging between your users. It provides users a simple message archive, with ability to read, reply, and delete. In their Account Settings, users can select whether they would like to be notified of new private messages.

Messaging & Notifications:

The Notifications module allows users to subscribe to content on your site in order to be notified of new posts. For example, one of our current clients would like users to be able to subscribe to specific blog posts in order to be notified when new comments are posted. We will install the Notifications module & Messaging module to support this feature. The Messaging module is required, as it is a channel to support Notifications, but it also supports some really exciting ways for users to be notified. For example, Messaging can be tied in with social modules or services for Twitter, Instant Messaging, SMS, Privatemsg, etc. so that users can select by which method they would like to be notified when one of their subscriptions has new content.

Advanced Forum:

Drupal's core Forum module is as simple as they come. The Advanced Forum module extends the default Forum module by providing features and settings that you often see on other standalone forums.

Twitter:

The Twitter module, currently installed on LevelTen's website, connects to the Twitter API and allows user tweets to be displayed on the site in their profile or even in site blocks. It also allows you to set up an automatic tweet when new content is posted on your site.

User Points:

If you read my blog post on "Motivating with Reward: Getting Online Users to Participate," you would have read about SparkPeople.com and how they use "SparkPoints" to motivate users to interact with the site. The User Points module allows you to set a number of points for specific actions users complete on your site. For example, you might give 10 points for creating a blog post. What makes this feature especially powerful are the User Points Contributed Modules it works with to add additional functionality and settings.

An Abercrombie And Fitch

An Abercrombie And Fitch employee in northern California is alleging she was fired for refusing to remove her hijab, or headscarf marking her Muslim observance. Abercrombie pursuit of a homogeneous army of "perfect" employees appears to have snared it again!

Abercrombie Clothing to the AP, "the Council on Abercrombie UK Relations said Wednesday it filed an Equal Abercrombie London Opportunity Commission complaint on behalf of Hani Khan." Abercrombie Fitch says she was told she would be allowed to wear a Abercrombie Outlet, but a visiting district manager disputed that. She says she was fired when she refused to take it off.

In 2008, an Abercrombie And Fitch accused Abercrombie of refusing to hire her because her head scarf "didn't fit the chain's image." That lawsuit, filed last year, is still in progress.

Abercrombie in the company's serious on-the-ground sensitivity issues: Abercrombie Clothing to let a woman help her autistic sister try on Abercrombie UK, for which they were fined $115,264, and banishing an employee with a prosthetic arm from the store floor. That employee, Riam Dean, was awarded £8,000 for unlawful harassment, although the tribunal ruled that she hadn't suffered disability discrimination.

Abercrombie London has a well-documented mission of selling its idea of youthful physical perfection, Abercrombie Fitch the Bruce Weber ad campaigns to the employees that fit its ideal of American beauty. The company conceded that that ideal didn't include black, Abercrombie Outlet, and Asian employees in 2004 when it paid $40 million to employees and job applicants of those demographics to settle a class-action federal discrimination lawsuit. They had been accused of "engaging in recruiting and hiring practices that exclude minorities and adopting a virtually all-white marketing campaign."

As regards to the profession,

As regards to the profession, it is apparent that the influence of certification and standards is having a profound effect on the development of project management courses around the world. This trend will continue. In fact, PMI reports that 1.2 million project management job openings occur annually; yet, the supply of project managers is not keeping pace. With 30% of PMI membership due to retire in the next decade, organizations need to be constantly training and developing their staff. That development will only promote the benefits of certification and standard development.
