Module development and code questions

Is there an easy way of not allowing users to change passwords other than hacking the user module

I have the Marksmarty module installed properly and the input formats are set correctly. Marksmarty is working except when I try to use the automatic e-mail links. For example, if I use [mail@address.com](mailto:mail@address.com), it works fine. But if I just try to use <mail@address.com> nothing prints. The e-mail address doesn't even exist in the source code. Ayone had this problem?

Howdie ya'll,

I probably can't use php in the secondary links part of the page?
Tried to put in my flash ticker getting the data from a mysql db but it showed on the empty flash movie without the ticker content. Tried the same way in a block with another tickerlike thing and there it worked.

See ya and thanks for any hints

Hi,

How can I use user.module API to create a new user account without having the need to use the form registration?

Hi,

I'm trying to set the user's password during account creation, rather than accepting Drupal's randomized starter password. I'm doing this in hook_user / insert, and have tried everything I can think of, to no avail:

• db_query( "UPDATE users SET pass = MD5('new password') WHERE uid = " . $user->uid );
• $edit['pass'] = "new password";
• $user['pass'] = "new password"; $edit['pass'] = NULL;
• user_save($user, array('pass' => MD5('new password')));

Help!

Thanks,
