New modules - calendar & events, admin, syntax highlighting, captcha, views cloud

We've added the following modules that are available to people hosting sites on ox4.org:

  • Calendar & event - allows you to display a calendar and add events to it. See an example of it on the Oxford Feminist Network site.
  • Admin - provides menus to help administer your site. Find out about this and other admin tools on ox4.org in this blog post.
  • GeSHi - a syntax highlighter for presenting computor scripts. See the code on this page for an example.
  • Captcha - helps stop spamming on forms by creating an image or maths question that submitters have to respond to. There's an example on my personal contact form.
  • Views cloud - and add-on to the views module that changes text size based on popularity. I used it in my films directory.

All of the currently installed modules are listed here.
