Drupal Modules: Fieldgroup, Double Field, and Chosen

Drupal Modules: Fieldgroup, Double Field, and Chosen

We want to talk about Drupal modules and have you talk with us, whether they are new, ones you use, have used, or will use, or simply because you have found something curious. Today we begin this series of articles that we will try to update often with new chapters.

To avoid going on too long, today we will briefly discuss 3 modules. A few days ago, we went into detail with the Fences module.

Fieldgroup: It allows us to group Drupal fields and thus change the visual appearance of the group, both in the data entry form and in the final display. It is a very convenient module when you want to customize content entry without much effort.

Double field: It is a simple module, but it does what it does very well. It allows us to manage two fields together. Very similar to Fieldgroup, but only with two fields. If we have worked with many fields we will see that it is quite useful, since we often work with two fields at the same time.

Chosen: It is quite different from the ones we have presented today. It is an integration of a jQuery plugin in Drupal. Chosen changes the <select> elements to make them more usable. Why Chosen? We believe it is quite usable and we like it for selecting multiple categories in an exposed Views filter.
