Hi all,
I'm a total noob when it comes to drupal, php and java; however, I've only been using drupal for around four days and am amazed at its flexibility and the array of modules available... anyway enough with the praise - just keep up the good work! On with my question...

I would like to alter the disknode module to display multiple files on one page and on multiple lines (one line per file). If this is possible I would also like to add the ability to generate file previews (using java) when a visitor hovers over the file link either to display on the cursoror or to the left of the link (although I think that the hovering image would be cooler ; ) ).

I know that things like fileshare exist but I'd like to be able to add the download links to a page without having to generate a new content type as this will create issues with what I'm trying to achieve...

I need to avoid creating a new filetype as I have managed to alter the drupal core (after only four days and some relative initial confusion) to serve two different sites (adding additional names, slogans, mission statements and templates) and displaying them along with indivuidual menu blocks, which involved the alteration of several core files... Each site is then displayed in a different subdomain.

Once I'm more accustomed with the ins and outs of drupal (and php etc) I'd like to begin some serious development work as I think having a multisite module would be pretty useful... No sure if one exists - hope not as I'd like to give it a go!

Any ideas?

Cheers
