- You may want to visit the handbook of this module, at:
- http://drupal.org/handbook/modules/flag
- The Flag module is a flexible flagging system whose primary goal is
- to give all the control to the administrator. Using this module, the
- site administrator can provide an arbitrary number of 'flags'.
- A flag is really just a boolean toggle that is set on an entity such as a node,
- comment, or user. Flags may be per-user, meaning that each user can flag an item
- individually, or global, meaning that the item is either flagged or it
- is not flagged, and any user who changes that changes it for everyone.
- In this way, additional flags (similar to 'published' and 'sticky') can
- be put on nodes, or other items, and dealt with by the system however
- the administration likes.
- Each flag allows the administrator to choose the 'flag this' text, and
- the place where the user interface for flagging the item will appear
- (For example: for nodes, whether a flagging link appears on the node
- teaser as well on the full node view).
- Each flag can be restricted to use only by certain roles. Each
- flag provides data to the Views module, and provides a default
- view to list 'My bookmarks'. These default views are somewhat crude,
- but are easily tailored to whatever the system administrator would like
- it to do.
- Each flag also provides an 'argument' to the Views module that can be
- used to allow a user to view other people's flagged content. This isn't
- turned on by default anywhere, though, and the administrator will need
- to construct a view in order to take advantage of it.
- The Flag Bookmark module provides a simple flag called "bookmarks" and
- a simple view for 'My bookmarks'. This is a default view provided by the
- Flag module, but can be customized to fit the needs of your site. To
- customize this view, go to admin/structure/views and find the
- 'flags_bookmarks' view. Click the 'Add' action to customize the view.
- Once saved, the new version of the view will be used rather than the one
- provided by Flag.
- Besides editing the default view that comes with the module, Flag
- provides many views filters, fields, and sort criteria to make all sorts of
- displays possible relating to the number of times an item has been flagged.
- This module was formerly known as Views Bookmark, which was originally was
- written by Earl Miles. Flag was written by Nathan Haug and mystery man Mooffie.
