I have installed taxonomy_theme.module (properly, I'm hoping) into my civicspace. When I go to admin>themes>taxonomy_theme the following error pops up:

Fatal error: Call to undefined function: drupal_get_form() in myfolder/civicspace/modules/taxonomy_theme/taxonomy_theme.module on line 274

I tried installing an earlier version of the theme (because I have had problems with civicspace and newer modules), but i'm not a drupal or coding expert in the least! If anyone is able to tell me what is wrong by this error script, that would be awesome!!

thanks!

Can you tell me what version of Drupal and TaxonomyTheme you are using?
Is this a clean install or did you upgrade from an earlier version?

because I have had problems with civicspace and newer modules

What kind of problems did you have?

I have civic space 8.5, which draws on Drupal 4.6.8.
I tried installing both taxonomy_theme for 4.6 and 4.7 (but I'm guessing the 4.6 is the correct one)

You asking this made me realise I should make sure I have the 4.6 verson. I just tried reinstalling it, and I must have done something right this time. Sorry for the inconvenience! and sorry to be another one of those people asking lame questions.

I think this may be my problem with another module. But does it matter if I use an older module with a newer Drupal version (for example Collimator vrsn CVS with civicspace 8.5)?

thanks so much!

Generally module are not compatible between the major releases (4.6 -> 4.7) because of underlying API changes (http://drupal.org/node/22218). Most important step in 4.7 is the introduction of FormsAPI which corrupts every older module.

Okay, thanks!
what about CVS version modules with 4.6.x drupal?

In most cases cvs versions of contributed modules are designed for the latest release (4.7) or even the development version (cvs) of Drupal. If you want the latest features from the modules you need to switch to the latest Drupal release.
(Of course some developers backport the most important changes to 4.6, but you cant expect that in general.)
