|-
| 00:01
| Welcome to the Spoken tutorial on''' Finding and Evaluating Modules.'''

|-
| 00:07
| In this tutorial, we will learn to
* Search for a '''module''' and Evaluate a '''module'''

|-
| 00:15
| To record this tutorial, I am using
* '''Ubuntu Linux''' Operating System
* '''Drupal''' 8 and '''Firefox''' Web browser
You can use any web browser as per your choice.

|-
|00:29
| Earlier in the series, we’ve talked about extending a''' website''' through''' Modules'''.

|-
| 00:34
| And we have covered some of the''' Modules''' that come with''' Drupal'''.

|-
| 00:38
| We’ve even installed the''' Module devel''' earlier in the course.

|-
| 00:43
| But now we’ll understand how to evaluate and find great''' Modules'''.

|-
| 00:48
| Let’s go to''' drupal.org/project/modules'''

|-
| 00:53
| There are almost 18,000 '''Modules''' available for '''Drupal''' here.

|-
| 00:58
| Please note that a''' Drupal Module''' only works with the version of''' Drupal''' that it’s intended for.

|-
| 01:05
| So we have to update the''' Core compatibility''' to the version of''' Drupal''' we’re using.

|-
| 01:12
| This tutorial has been recorded before the release of''' Drupal 8.'''
If we look for''' Drupal 8''', we see only 1,000''' Modules''' that match our search.

|-
| 01:23
| For this demo, I’ll switch back to''' Drupal 7,''' in order to show you some great things about''' Modules'''.

|-
| 01:30
| Click''' Search'''. And there are 11,000''' Modules''' for''' Drupal 7'''. That’s a huge difference.

|-
| 01:38
| With time, we will see the number of '''Drupal 8 Modules''' rapidly increase.

|-
| 01:42
| Meanwhile, let’s learn how to evaluate good''' Modules.'''

|-
| 01:47
| On this page, let us filter on the '''Core compatibility '''of the version of '''Drupal''' we are using.
The list is sorted by '''Most installed''' or '''Most popular'''.

|-
| 01:59
| '''Chaos tool suite''' or''' ctools''' and''' Views''' are the all time popular''' Modules''' of''' Drupal.'''

|-
| 02:07
| Let’s click on''' Views.'''

|-
| 02:09
| There’s a simple 3-step approach to evaluating a good''' Module.'''

|-
| 02:14
| Suppose we go to the''' licensing bureau''' to get a new '''license''' to drive or register a car.

|-
|02:21
|In most '''US''' states, it’s called the '''dmv '''or the '''Department of Motor Vehicles.'''
So, we’ll keep that in mind '''d m''' and '''v.'''

|-
| 02:34
| '''d''' stands for''' documentation'''
* '''m''' stands for''' maintainers''' and
* '''v''' stands for''' versions.'''

|-
| 02:42
| Look at the information given under the''' Project Information''' and''' Downloads'''.

|-
| 02:48
| Let’s start with''' d'''.'''Views''' is the second most popular''' Module''' of all time.

|-
| 02:53
| In fact, it’s being incorporated into''' Drupal 8''' and we’ve actually used''' Views''' a lot, in this course.

|-
| 03:02
| There is no other shortcut in open source
* to understand whether a''' Module''' is right or not,
* except to read the''' documentation'''.

|-
| 03:11
| Always, read the''' documentation''' to know what a''' Module''' does.

|-
| 03:16
| Read the''' documentation''' to know what the issues are.

|-
| 03:20
| How do we know there’s help available?
Read the''' documentation'''.

|-
| 03:25
| Once we install a''' Module''', we should read the''' documentation''' to know which parts to turn on.

|-
| 03:32
| Reading the '''documentation''' is extremely important.

|-
| 03:36
| Please note, in open source, there is no-one to sue if a''' Module''' destroys your''' site'''.

|-
| 03:42
| You have to read the''' documentation.'''And determine whether the''' Module''' is compatible with what you’ve done on your''' site''' already.

|-
| 03:50
| So, I can’t emphasise it enough. Read all of this information by clicking on
* this''' Documentation''' link
* The''' issue''' queue
* And the''' bug reports'''

|-
|04:01
|to find out what is in this''' Module'''.So that’s the''' d'''.

|-
| 04:06
| The''' m''' stands for''' maintainers'''.

|-
| 04:09
| This particular''' Module''' was started by''' merlinofchaos'''.

|-
| 04:13
| Now, when we click on his name, it takes us to his''' Drupal profile'''.

|-
| 04:19
| Later in the course, we will learn how to have our own''' Drupal profile'''.

|-
| 04:24
| Here we see that''' Earl Miles''' is a big contributor to the''' Drupal Project''' - over 6300''' commits.'''
And he is the main creator of''' Chaos tools''' and''' Views'''.

|-
| 04:36
| There are a number of other''' maintainers''' for this particular''' Module'''.

|-
| 04:42
| With''' Modules'''
* you might see just one person maintaining it or
* you might see a group of people maintaining a''' Module'''.

|-
| 04:50
| Both are ok.

|-
| 04:53
| But say, a''' Module''' happens to be''' mission-critical''', and the''' maintainer''' is unable to continue with it.Then we might be in trouble.

|-
| 05:00
| So, that’s something to consider.

|-
| 05:03
| Finally at the bottom, is the''' Project information''' and the''' Versions''' or our''' v.'''

|-
| 05:09
| The maintenance status of''' v''' is, right now, seeking''' co-maintainers.''' We need not worry.

|-
|05:15
|'''Views''' has already been incorporated into''' Drupal 8.'''So, they’re probably just looking for some help there.

|-
| 05:24
| It’s under active development.

|-
| 05:27
| It’s on almost a million''' sites.'''And the stats show 7 point 6 million downloads already.

|-
| 05:35
| Now - this is important.If a''' Project''' says “'''abandoned'''” or “'''I’ve given up'''”, then avoid using that''' Module'''.

|-
|05:42
|You won’t see that very often, however.

|-
|05:46
| Always use the''' Version''' of the''' Module''' that is the same as the''' Version''' of your''' Drupal installation'''.

|-
|05:52
| There is no''' Drupal 8 version''' here because''' Views''' is already in''' core'''.

|-
|05:57
| But if I was installing this on a''' Drupal 7 site''', I would not click on this link.

|-
|06:04
| It will take us to a''' node''' that gives detailed information about this''' Module'''.

|-
|06:09
| Instead, right-click on the''' tar''' or the''' zip''', and click on''' Copy Link'''.

|-
|06:15
| This was mentioned earlier when we installed''' devel.'''

|-
|06:19
|| How do we determine if a''' Module''' is right for us?

|-
|06:23
|As simple as''' d m v.'''

|-
|06:26
| One of the frequently questions is, "How does one find a''' Module'''"?

|-
|06:31
|One option is to go to'''durpal [dot] org slash project slash modules'''

|-
|06:37
| And filter by''' Core compatibility - Categories,''' of which there are many.

|-
|06:42
| Otherwise, it is impossible to find''' Modules''' that we need at''' drupal [dot] org.'''

|-
|06:48
|If you are good at it, you will be able to find them.But new users might get confused with the number of '''Modules''' listed there.

|-
|06:57
| Again the question will be - which''' Module''' is right for me?

|-
|07:02
| '''Google''' is your friend!

|-
|07:04
| If we’re looking for a''' Drupal Module''' with a''' Date field''' then just type''' drupal module date.'''

|-
|07:10
| And the first thing that comes up is the''' Date Module'''.

|-
|07:13
| We know that because the''' URL''' is''' drupal <nowiki>[dot] </nowiki>org slash project slash date'''

|-
|07:20
| What if we need a''' Rating system'''?

|-
|07:23
|Type''' drupal module rating system'''

|-
|07:26
| Now, we get 2 options here-
* The''' Fivestar Rating Module''' or
* The''' Star Rating Module'''

|-
|07:34
| So, we have 2''' Modules''' that we can look at, to determine which one might be better for us.

|-
|07:42
|What about if we need a''' webform'''?

|-
|07:45
| Again type''' drupal module webform.'''

|-
|07:48
| And we get a project named''' Webform'''.

|-
|07:52
| This is probably the best way to find''' Modules''', for beginners.

|-
|07:57
| '''Drupal module''' and a description of what we need our''' Module''' to do.

|-
|08:02
| I hope that’s been helpful. Remember, to find''' Modules''',''' Google''' is your friend.

|-
|08:08
|And to understand which''' Module''' is best for you, remember''' d m''' and''' v'''.

|-
|08:14
| With this we come to end of this tutorial.

|-
|08:18
| Let us summarize.
