Currently available modules that you can add to Manifesto include:

A la carte

A module for restaurants, allowing the site owners to display menus and daily specials.

Arbitrary Sidebar

A useful generic module for creating brief blocks of free-form content that can be placed in various locations on the page.

Assignments

A module for news gathering and reporters, the Assignments module allows Editors to announce and track upcoming events and the reporters covering them.

Blog

A simple module for maintaining one or more blogs, each with one maintainer and one or more authors.

Client Profiles

An easy way to display project case studies for your business or organization, showcasing previous work for clients. Excellent for interior designers, contractors, or graphic artists.

Columns

A space for recurring commentary articles, like a newspaper column. The basic format mimics that of a Newswire article (see below), with all the same features.

Comments

A robust commenting system, capable of working in conjunction with virtually any other content module in Manifesto. You have control over whether or not users must log in to leave comments, and it uses anti-spam CAPTCHAs to prevent abuse.

Commonspace

An Editor-only document library, providing a single location for keeping draft documents, images to be shared only by editors and adminstrators. 

Content Acronyms

This module only modifies the output of other modules, allowing editors to define a series of acronyms which will automatically be converted into proper HTML acronym tags when they are encountered in text. Mousing over the acronym will provide the user with its fully-expanded name.

Content Restrictions

Another content modification module, this one provides per-item access restrictions to your content objects, so individual pages can be restricted to certain user roles. This offers much finer granularity than Manifesto's built-in, module-based permissions.

Content Sharing

This module adds the commonly-seen "Bookmark this page" or "Add this to my social network" links at the bottom of blogs and other content.

Content Tagging

Manifesto has a detailed, hierarchical categorization scheme built-in, but it uses predefined categories. This module allows you to create your own free-form tags for content, and can automatically generated dynamic tag clouds to be displayed in a sidebar.

Content Watchwords

If Manifesto is used in an environment that allows public posting of comments or other content, you may want to install the Watchwords module to notify the editors when any "trigger" words appear in the content, so that you may take appropriate action.

Documentation

Create an entire online book, with table of contents, chapters, and limitless pages containing embedded media.

Embedder

Usually used in conjunction with the HTML Pages module, the embedder allows you to upload any sort of pages (even PHP scripts) that will be embedded as if it were a custom page. Since Manifesto will not permit you to enter PHP or other executable content, you may want to use the embedder module to upload a custom-designed survey form, or a third-party PHP script.

E-Newsletter

The ability to send email -- including fancy HTML email -- to your user base is increasingly important. This module allows you to design your own empty HTML template file, and then add the content for each new issue of your newsletter. The content is then merged into the template, and can be emailed to all of your users, or to a selectable subset of user accounts.

Event Calendar

A very robust calendar module, supporting detailed information about events (title, date, time, location, description, organizer, etc). Also supports complex recurrence schemes ("every 3rd Wednesday of the month") and iCalendar-format export for integration with Google Calendar or Apple's iCal.

Frequently Asked Questions

Set up a searchable, categorized section of Frequently Asked Questions.

Products

A categorized product listing database, fully-Shopping Cart enabled. Reasonable default fields are provided, but can be extended to store additional information, and products can have one or more selectable options associated with them (size, color, etc).

Pub Moderation

A helper module that allows you to control start-of-publication and expiration dates for content, and to establish the requirement of an approval process for content, making it easy to allow guest editors whose content needs to be approved before going live. 

Quotes

Allows for a quote-of-the-day like message to appear on your site, or to be organized into a series of customer testimonial blurbs.

Ratings

A helper module that allows you to add the ability for users to rate the content on your site.

Reservations

A scheduling calendar built upon the Event Calendar. This version is designed to be used in conjunction with resources (a meeting room, or equipment that can be checked out) and will prevent overlapping conflicts with regard to resource access.

Rotator

This is a handy module for helping to keep track of delegated responsibilities within an organization. For example, if you have a rotating "editor of the week" or "clean-up duty" position, you can maintain that schedule here.

RSS Syndication

Create multiple RSS feeds from the content on your site. Let each module create its own feed, or combine content modules to create a unified feed for your whole site.

Shopping Cart

This module is the heart of the ecommerce aspects of Manifesto, allowing virtually any kind of object designed to be cart-compatible to be added to the cart. The module keeps track of the cart itself, collects user billing and shipping addresses, and handles the interaction with a credit card processor. Currently supports only PayPal Web Payments Standard, but integration with other processing systems can be easily added.

Site Map

Built into every module is the ability to generate a list of its own content, so you can use the Site Map module to build a comprehensive list of all the main content pages on your site. It also generates a Google-compatible sitemap XML file.

A nice, customized module used to promote the distribution of software, with areas for overview pages, release notes, and security alerts.
