Topics Listeners’ questions What are unwanted users? Discovering abuse Strategies Modules Custom Solutions Clean Up Module of the Week Role Assign https://www.drupal.org/project/roleassign RoleAssign specifically allows site administrators to further delegate the task of managing user's roles while withholding the Administer permissions permission. RoleAssign introduces a new permission called Assign roles. Users with this permission are able to assign selected roles to still other users. Only users with the Administer permissions permission may select which roles are available for assignment through this module. RoleAssign is ideal for smaller sites with a system administrator and one assistant administrator role that should be reasonably restricted in what it allows. For larger sites with multiple levels of administrators or whenever you need finer-grained control over which role can assign which other role, check out Role Delegation. See #961682: Does the role delegation module supersede this module? for a short discussion of the relative merits of the two modules.

Webform lets you customize the name and e-mail address that is used for outgoing e-mails, but often this is not enough. You cannot use Webform to set a custom "Reply-To" e-mail header, for instance. That's where this module comes in! Hosts Stephen Cross - www.ParallaxInfoTech.com @stephencross John Picozzi - www.oomphinc.com @johnpicozzi Nic Laflin - www.nLightened.net @nicxvan

As of 7.x-2.1-rc1, it requires Migrate 7.x-2.6-rc2 or later. Besides addressing contemporary needs to migrate to Drupal 7, it has helped serve as a proof-of-concept for incorporating the migration approach into core as an upgrade path (https://groups.drupal.org/imp).   Hosts Stephen Cross - www.ParallaxInfoTech.com @stephencross John Picozzi - www.oomphinc.com @johnpicozzi Nic Laflin - www.nLightened.net @nicxvan

Changes are marked clearly and if the diff module is installed then Hacked! will allow you to see the exact lines that have changed. Hacked! also provides drush integration so that you can see what files have changed from the command line. This is primarily a developer tool and should never ever (don't even think it) be installed on a production site.

CAPTCHA After module brings solution to the problem of evaluating security challenges (commonly known as CAPTCHAs) without decreasing the usability of your site. It allows human visitors to fill the web form with input data without solving the CAPTCHA challenge. If however malicious software (or user) is to be suspected because the total number of submitted forms (correct or wrong submits), the CAPTCHA will be activated. Typical use case is user login page where you can set that CAPTCHA protection should be shown after 3 unsuccessful login attempts. Then on first 3 attempts guest user will not be challenged with CAPTCHA protection, but on fourth login attempt guest user will also need to solve CAPTCHA challenge in order to login. The administrator of the site has multiple options when it comes to fine tuning of the “suspicious” situation: you can control submit threshold (number of wrong submissions per user), flooding threshold (number of correct submissions per machine IP) and global flooding threshold. CAPTCHA After can also be enabled only for selected CAPTCHA protected forms.   Host Stephen Cross - www.ParallaxInfoTech.com @stephencross John Picozzi - www.oomphinc.com @johnpicozzi Nic Laflin - www.nLightened.net @nicxvan Guest Rob Aubin - www.oomphinc.com @ra8

The FileField module lets you upload files from your computer through a CCK field. The FileField Sources module expands on this ability by allowing you to select new or existing files through additional means, including: Re-use files by an auto-complete textfield Attach server-side files uploaded via FTP Transfer files from a remote server (cURL required) Paste a file directly from the clipboard (Drupal 7 only) Select existing files through the IMCE file browser Although FileField Sources provides several built-in sources, it can be extended by any module through an API for creating new sources. Users can toggle between any of the available methods for selecting a file.
