Module development and code questions

Hi,

I was wondering what would be the best way to go about creating a node from within the cron hook of the same module.

Say you wrote a node that stores RSS from different feeds. In a cron job, I would like that RSS stuff to be inserted in the node.

The first thing that came to my mind was just to use plain "INSERT INTO ..." sql, but then I am lost as to how to get the "next" node id value. After that I thought about using the implemented hook: _insert() but then I was lost as to what kind of parameter does it except and how to go about building a $node object.

i have a problem i n creating taxonomy images and node.
please help me

Hello all,

I am editing the cod.module in the admin page.

What I am trying to accomplish is making the 'Page to go to after payment:' page go to the user invoice page located at:

store/transaction/view/(%n)

how would I go about adding this url to the page.

my module is session_limit.modules (under 4.7)

I built it successfully, and it appeared almost instantly online under teh 4.7 modules downloads.

however, when i then made mods to the code to support the old style forms,
and tagged it against DRUPAL-4-6, I still do not see anything in the 4.6 downloads section

What am I missing?

I am writing a very simple module to learn how to code for Drupal. I am having a problem integrating the result of sql calls into html and then applying the theme to the resulting code and displaying it all. I hope this makes sense. The function included should give an idea of what I am trying to do. I have written many php websites but my coding is completely self taught and I haven't done much with the kind of stuff needed to get this working. I think the answer is probably quite simple, I am just not seeing it.

Basically what I am attempting to do is query the database to get some records and then display the data in a table much like what is displayed when you go to the administration page and it shows the access log.

Here is the funtion, it works with the exception of trying to format the output:

function pipe_show() {
// content variable that will be returned for display
$content = '';

$query = "SELECT client_fname, client_lname FROM " .
"{node_client} ";
// get the data
$queryResult = db_query($query);
while ($output = db_fetch_object($queryResult)) {
$client_fname = $output->client_fname;
$client_lname = $output->client_lname;
$content = print "

";
$content .= echo "

";

I'm trying to add a configure page for my module.

In the menu function I have:

$items[] = array('path' => 'admin/blog_list',
'title' => t('Blog List'),
'callback' => 'blog_list_manage',
'access' => user_access('administer blog list'),
'weight' => 7);

And for the function blog_list_manage I have:
