I've loved Drupal for a long time and have been working with it in one way or another since around 2006. This very homepage is built with Drupal 11, and the Cotranslate.Net site were built on Drupal 6 (yeah, long time ago). Most of the projects ordered in the NetSpark studio are made with Drupal.
Modules
Over the years of working with Drupal I've written quite a lot of code. Whatever part of it can be shared with the community, I usually try to share. Here's a short list of modules — download and enjoy.
| Social Auth Ok | Site login via ok.ru (Drupal 8) |
| User Comments | Lets users leave comments on user profiles |
| SMSimple | Sending SMS via the SMSimple gateway. |
| Quick Telecom SMS | Sending SMS via the Quick Telecom gateway. |
| Drupal Commerce Small Cart | A simplified cart module for Drupal Commerce |
| Drupal Commerce No Cart | Redirects the user to checkout whenever a product is ordered. Before the redirect, the cart is cleared of previously added products. If an order wasn't completed, a special block shows a warning offering to either complete the order or delete it. |
| Drupal Commerce Skip Payment | Adds a “Skip payment” payment method that lets a user place an order without paying and saves it with the pending status. The module adds a “Re-checkout” button to the pages of all orders with this status, so the user can place the order again with a different payment method. |
| Yandex Map Field | Adds a small field for displaying a Yandex.Maps map with a single marker in content (good for a map in contact information). |
| jSlider Form API | Integration of jQuery UI Slider into the Drupal 6 Form API. The Drupal 7 version is maintained by Spleshka on Drupal.org. |
| Message Queue API | A small module with an API for sending system messages to a given user. Compatible with Drupal 6, no longer maintained. |
| Notabene | A module for notes in the margins. Compatible with Drupal 6, no longer maintained. |
| Logo Changer | A module for showing different logos depending on the time of day. Compatible with Drupal 6, no longer maintained. |
