Overview

What is a MODULE file? Module file used by Drupal, a content management system (CMS) for websites; contains source code written in PHP ; used for adding functionality to the base Drupal installation, such as new page layouts, calendar popups, login forms, and developer tools.

More Information MODULE files must have a corresponding .INFO file that tells Drupal about the module. The INFO file must have the same filename prefix as the MODULE file and must be located in the same directory.
