Contributed modules from the +Drupal community may be downloaded at http://drupal.org/project/modules. -This directory should be used to place downloaded and custom modules -which are common to all sites. This will allow you to more easily -update Drupal core files. +It is safe to organize modules into subdirectories, such as "contrib" for +contributed modules, and "custom" for custom modules. Note that if you move a +module to a subdirectory after it has been enabled, you may need to clear the +Drupal cache so that it can be found. + +In multisite configuration, modules found in this directory are available to +all sites. Alternatively, the sites/your_site_name/modules directory pattern may +be used to restrict modules to a specific site instance. + +Refer to the "Developing for Drupal" section of the README.txt in the Drupal +root directory for further information on extending Drupal with custom modules. |
