Module development and code questions

Hi Drupalers,

I've got my form setup for modifying a user profile such that all the information that is driven by the profile module is showing up under the default secondary local task. ie: the user does not have to click on the sub links when editing their info...from http://foobar/user/12/edit.

My problem is that I can't seem to get the information back into the database...I've used hook_form_alter on the 'user_edit' form_id to modify the form. I'm able to get all the default_values into each field. I'm then tried using hook_user to simulate the action that takes place when the user hits 'save my settings'

Can anyone provide any help?? Here is my hook_user function. I've added the drupal_set_message function and what is odd is that when I attempt to save my settings the only output I get is "For 12, a load operation was invoked.
For , a categories operation was invoked.
For 12, a load operation was invoked.
For 12, a form operation was invoked.
For , a validate operation was invoked. "

is this expected???


function mymodule_user($type, &$edit, &$user, $category = NULL) {
// print "$type";
drupal_set_message("For $user->uid, a $type operation was invoked.");
switch ($type) {
case 'update':
case 'insert':
printArray($edit);
return profile_save_profile($edit, $user, $category);
break;
case 'validate':

I know I found the solution for this problem before, but I can't find the post. But pretty much whenever I submit a URL in the URL field in Flexinode, like this "http://drupal.org/node/" it outputs as "http://http//drupal.org/node/". inserting it "drupal.org/node/" makes the link work. (this flexinode type was not themed)

Hi,

I was wondering if there is anyone who could help me. I want to keep a clear static 1. page, with a menubar on top (that's done already).... When I click on one topic in the menu, i would like a block to appear on the left side and only in this new page, with subtopics... I.e.
menutopic = "contact"
Blocktopics (only on this page) = Contact domestic, Contact international, Contact in outer space etc.

Is this possible, or don't I make any sense ? ;o)

Best regards Thomas

I'm developing my own groups module. I've got a mysql table with group members (with a group id column and a member id column), and a group info mysql table with all the information regarding each group. I want to output a table with the name, date created, and number of members for each group. I also want to be able to sort on each of the headings. I got everything working, but I don't like the way the member count works. The problem is that the number of members is updated AFTER it's sorted. Can anybody please suggest a better way?
Here's what I have:
<?php
function group_groups_home()
{
$sql = "SELECT group_info.gid, group_info.title, group_info.nid, group_info.created, group_info.members FROM (group_info)";

$header = array(
array('data' => t('Group Name'), 'field' => 'title', 'width' => '100%'),
array('data' => t('Created'), 'field' => 'created', 'align' => 'center'),
array('data' => t('Members'), 'field' => 'members', 'align' => 'center')
);

$rows = array();

$sql .= tablesort_sql($header);
$result = pager_query($sql, 20);

while ($group = db_fetch_object($result)) {
// I don't like the way this is done, but this is the only way I could figure out how to sort by membercount
$membercount = mysql_num_rows(db_query("SELECT * FROM (group_members) WHERE group_members.gid = '%d'", $group->gid));

I want to make a content type called "example site" on www.drupalecommerce.com. I want it to have 4 fields like:
url
who made it
what modules it demonstrates
what else it demonstrates: themes, etc.
