This allows Drupal core to be updatedwithout overwriting these files.DOWNLOAD ADDITIONAL MODULES---------------------------Contributed modules from the Drupal community may be downloaded athttps://www.drupal.org/project/project_module.ORGANIZING MODULES IN THIS DIRECTORY------------------------------------You may create subdirectories in this directory, to organize your added modules,without breaking the site. Some common subdirectories include "contrib" forcontributed modules, and "custom" for custom modules. Note that if you move amodule to a subdirectory after it has been enabled, you may need to clear theDrupal cache so it can be found.There are number of directories that are ignored when looking for modules. Theseare 'src', 'lib', 'vendor', 'assets', 'css', 'files', 'images', 'js', 'misc','templates', 'includes', 'fixtures' and 'Drupal'.MULTISITE CONFIGURATION-----------------------In multisite configurations, modules found in this directory are available toall sites. You may also put modules in the sites/all/modules directory, and theversions in sites/all/modules will take precedence over versions of the samemodule that are here. Alternatively, the sites/your_site_name/modules directorypattern may be used to restrict modules to a specific site instance.MORE INFORMATION----------------Refer to the “Developing for Drupal” section of the README.txt in the Drupalroot directory for further information on extending Drupal with custom modules.
