File Entity Usage - Allows you to build a view based on the file entity that can be filtered on file id and lists all entities that link to this file.
Entity view count - The entity view count designed tracking views of entities. Unlike the Node view count, Entity view count can track views of entity for a specific view modes.
Formui - Object-oriented replacement for FormAPI
Commerce Custom Views Add To Cart - Adds customization options to the Commerce Views product add to cart form.
Link Field Formatter - This module provides a new format for the Link field type. This format presents the file as a fully rendered object within a web page - i.e. it displays the contents of the link as appropriate to its filetype: Adobe Acrobat .pdf, Microsoft Word .doc/.docx, Micrososft Excel .xls/.xlsx, Microsoft Powerpoint .ppt/.pptx, using the Google Docs embedded rendering engine.
