Responsive Menus (Drupal module)

Over 50,000 downloads puts this as one of the fastest spreading and most-used modules on drupal.org!

From the module description: "Just give me a CSS selector of your menu and I will make it mobile friendly (when the time is right)."

Features: unpacks a content type with all fields required to accurately describe a property, field mapper (from RETS to Drupal content type), ability to import from CSV, XML, or RDB (automatically during cron & highly configurable), property alert settings for users, & many more features.

Feeds HTTPFetcher AA (Drupal module)

This module provides support for advanced authentication mechanisms using the Drupal Feeds module.

CiviCRM Stripe

http://civicrm.org/extensions/stripe-payment-processor
ayment Processor integration for Stripe (http://stripe.com) into CiviCRM (http://civicrm.org). I
built this right as CiviCRM 4.2 was coming out, which changed many things about how CiviCRM extensions were
made (new features, not backwards compatible), so I released 3 versions of this, instead of just the 1 the client
requested (4.1). I made a 3.4 - 4.1 version, 4.2, as well as packaging the 'source' version for any version. Over
50 actively using this since August 21st! http://civicrm.org/extensions/stripe-payment-processor

CiviCRM USAePay & USAePay ACH

Activates & configures settings for USAePay as a payment gateway inside CRM. ACH module adds ACH / Direct deposit payment option to the methods of payment available.
