Drupal Terminology

We've compiled this section as a quick reference for commonly used Drupal terminology.

Drupal Search

Drupal has a built-in search engine module that allows users to search any text content within a Drupal website.

Drupal Login

Drupal has a default login system that allows users to automatically register for a Drupal website and create content based on user permissions.

Drupal Block

A Drupal Block is a piece of data that can be displayed within the sidebar of a Drupal website.

Drupal 5

Drupal 5 is the previous release of the latest Drupal version. Quite a large number of contributed modules only work with Drupal 5, so many Drupal websites are still built with Drupal 5.

Drupal Page

A Drupal page can refer to a number of functions within the Drupal content management platform. A Drupal page is a default content type when Drupal is installed, but a page is usually referred to as a "Node" in Drupal terminology.

Drupal has a very flexible menu system that allows you to structure your website in almost any configuration.
