Drupal sites usually have authorized as well as unauthorized users. The privilege of authorized users is that they can access certain pages of the website in addition to the pages that can be accessed by unauthorized users.

Drupal 7's version of Organic group is totally rewritten by taking the advantage of many new Drupal 7 features, especially entity and field APIs. One of the major difference between drupal OG-6 and OG-7 is the expansion of the concept of what a 'group' is. In Drupal 7, any type of entity can be a group and any type of entity can belong to a group. The organic groups module allows us to create a working group where a number of people can create content which is non-public and it is visible to group members only.

Browser compatibility testing or ensuring the working of a site on different browsers is an important part of website testing. Same site may not look similar when viewed on different browsers. For example: The same page may vary depending on different display resolution. Therefore all the functionalities, design of the site must be tested on common browsers rather than fixing and testing on a single browser. Sometimes, changes made on a site does not reflect at once unless we clear browser cache. In that case testers need to clear cache prior to testing.

If you are facing the same issue in one of your Drupal sites, read on to know how we successfully fixed the bug.

When a user frequently visits a webpage, the browser automatically saves or in other words caches that particular page. This helps the user to access those pages in future which saves time. However due to caching, the changes made on a site do not reflect at once and its not useful during development or testing of a Drupal site. Therefore it is important that testers clear the cache before they start testing. Caching can be performed by both the site and the browser. Read on to know how to clear the Drupal cache.

Drupal modules can be defined as a collective set of functions that can be used to create certain features. There are two sets of Drupal modules - 'Contributed modules' and 'custom modules'.
