# Drupal Connector

Drupal Connector is an IDOL Connector for the Drupal web content management system.

The Drupal Connector can:

- Keep IDOL up-to-date with information contained in the Drupal content management system.
- Collect documents from Drupal and either write them to disk or index them into IDOL.
- Return documents from the repository in their original format, and optionally convert them to HTML format, so that they can be viewed.

The Drupal Connector retrieves information by crawling one or more entity types that are defined in its configuration file. You must configure the connector to crawl at least one entity type, by using the configuration parameter `CrawlEntity`. When an entity type is crawled, every entity of that type is retrieved and indexed.

The connector can also follow links from the entities that it processes to other entities. This behavior is configured using the `ScourEntities` configuration parameter.

For more information about configuring the Drupal Connector, see Retrieve Documents from Drupal.
