Module development and code questions

Hi All,

I am wanting to have some functionality added to the way Drupal handles the node author value, but as this is a modification of an existing function in Drupal I am not sure if it requires a core hack or if a new module should be developed. In a nutshell what I am wanting is;

1. Ability to set the author value of each node to username, arbitrary text (so authors don't need to have an account to submit content with their name against it) or a defined value (coontents of a "Real Name" field for example) from the profile module.

i have 2 selectboxes. the first one lists parent categories which i created via taxonomy and the second one lists child categories. i want the 2nd selectbox to be updated when i change 1st one's value. (like hierselect element in PEAR/QuickForm.) But i dont know how to do this with Drupal? Can i use AJAX?

Hi all,

I recently created a site using CivicSpace meant for my close family and friends to maintain active discussion on the most recent books we've read (sorta like a book club). I wanted to create a forum of forums discussion site where there is one large main forum that lists genres, and within each genre have more forums dedicated to authors, books, publishers, etc.... Also, when a user logs into the site, I wanted them to be able to see a list of their top ten favorite book discussion (links to the forums where the discussion is held).

The cvs of ezmlm is broken, even though it says in the notes that it was fixed to work with 4.7

I'm looking through the code, and I need help to figure out how to fix the hooks to work with 4.7, it's close and could work easily, I just need some help. Can someone with some experience in 4.7 module writing take a look at it and see what is missing?

The other mlm and mimemail are broken too, so my best bet is to get the origanal ezmlm module to work with 4.7.

Thanks.

I've installed the sifr module and I copy all files from http://www.mikeindustries.com/sifr/ and place it in Drupal's modules/sifr/ directory.
But I get this error: "The sIFR library is in not installed correctly."

I'm able to upload fonts (.swf files) and add rules with the module.

But I still get this error and I can't see any flash replacement for a given element.

What's going wrong?

Hi All,

We're Using TinyMCE along with image.module and img_assist.module to add images to posts. It works fine unless the image is the first item in the post. In TinyMCE, it appears that the image has been added, but clicking on the HTML button to view the code shows a blank screen. When the post is submitted the image does not appear. If text is added to the post first the image is added no problem. We are using Full HTML as the filter.

Any ideas? We're not in a position to upgrade to 4.7!

Thanks in advance
