Flag
- Brief description:
- Have you ever wanted a simple way to let users bookmark, like, or even flag as inappropriate content on your Drupal site? There’s a module for that.
- Brief history
- How old: originally created in 2008 by quicksketch, who listeners may remember as the original author of Webform
- Versions available: 7.x-3.9 and 8.x-4.0-beta4
- Maintainership
- Actively maintained, but no commits in the last year
- Has a handbook, but it’s in the old documentation system
- Number of open issues: 675, 132 of which are bugs against the 8.x branch
- Usage stats:
- Over 38,000 sites
- Maintainer(s):
- Recent releases by Berdir, who we recently mentioned as the maintainer of TMGMT in episode #426
- Module features and usage
- The Flag module provides a flexible system that can reference any kind of entity, so content, users, comments and so on
- When you create a flag type, you set the target entity type, and then you can optionally choose specific bundles that can be flagged
- Flags can be per-user, like bookmarks, or global, meaning that they’re the same for everyone
- Links to Flag or Unflag content or other entities can be displayed in a variety of ways: in a field, in entity links, as contextual links, and more
- By default flag links are rendered as AJAX links that flag or unflag content without reloading the page, but you can configure them to display in various ways, including a links to a field entry form, because flag types are also fieldable
- There is extensive views integration, so it’s easy to list flagged content, for example to show a user content they’ve flagged as their favorites. The ecosystem of modules around Flag includes one called Views Flag Refresh that can trigger a view to automatically update via AJAX as soon as any content in that view is flagged or unflagged
- Not long ago I used Flag as part of a lightweight task management system within Drupal, and anyone wanting to try that out can install the Tasks module
