• Brief description:
  • Have you ever needed a way to define and display an org chart on your Drupal website? There’s a module for that.
• Brief history
  • How old: created in Apr 2016 by PatrickScheffer
  • Versions available: 7.x-1.3, 8.x-1.3, and 8.x-2.3 versions, the last two of which can be used with Drupal 8, 9, and 10
• Maintainership
  • Maintenance fixes only
• Number of open issues:
  • 2 issues, neither are bugs
• Usage stats:
  • 377 sites
• Module features and usage
  • The module works by extending core’s taxonomy hierarchy management
  • You can organize who reports to who with a simple drag-and-drop, the same as any taxonomy hierarchy. For anyone who hasn’t used those, it would be basically the same as managing a menu structure
  • Once created, an organigram can be viewed as a dedicated page, a block, and a token
  • The 2.x branch uses Flexbox to achieve a CSS-only presentation that removes the need for any Javascript
  • Appears to have been built to serve the needs of the Dutch House of Representatives
  • I haven’t tested it, but I suspect that for a site with a very large organigram they need to build, tools like Client Side Hierarchical Select, built to make managing large taxonomies easier, are likely to work with Organigrams too
