Synopsis

The Attributions module may be used by maintainers of Drupal modules and themes to create an attribution block or an attribution page that can be used to display the license and attribution information about materials (such as code libraries, fonts, icons and images) that are included in a project distribution, but is not licensed under the Drupal.org mandatory license for code: GPLv2+.

The declarations concerning licenses and attributions are pulled from files named ASSETS.yml.

Please note that this module will do nothing on its own. Only download and install it if it is listed as required or recommended by another module or theme.

Installation

This module has dependencies on an external library that is managed by Composer Manager. It is strongly recommended to use drush to enable the module:

drush en attributions

If you don't use drush, you need to use the composer CLI tool to install and update the library. Navigate to the “Composer File directory” as configured in the Composer Manager's Settings page and run the following two commands:

composer install --no-dev
composer update --no-dev

Configuration

After installing and enabling Attributions there will be an attribution block named Attributions block, and an attribution page when you vist /attributions.

By default, only attributions specified by enabled modules and themes will be rendered. To render attributions from all modules and themes. set the boolean variable attributions_all TRUE. You may do this with drush:

drush vset attributions_all TRUE

There is no adminsitrative GUI.

Attributions should be placed in a file named ASSETS.yml, in the module's top directory, using the standard YAML data serialization format.

To see the full syntax available for specifying attributions, see: Attributions YAML format. To see some examples of how you may specify attributions, Examples.
