Module development and code questions

I am new to using theme_template and it has me a bit confused. The following function breaks my site i.e. module including this function is activated the site displays only blank page. Remove this function and all is ok. I am piecing this together an don't understand all of functions it is using yet so I am hoping someone with more experience can help me fix this. Once I have it working I am sure I can back into how we got there.

Okay, so I've got a splash page module that needs to be modified so that the cookie gets set only when the user clicks an "Accept these terms and continue" button. (Don't ask, the client wants a user agreement on the splash page.) Once the cookie is set, the page won't show up again.

I'm not being very familiar with Drupal modules and I don't have an expert around to help me, so if anyone can provide some insight, it would be much appreciated! Thanks!

Here's the module:


/*
USAGE:
In module settings:
- define the HTML for the splash page in the module settings.
- define the path alias for the front page of the site. Change
In site configuration:
- change the front page of the site to be "splash"
In config.php or somewhere similar:
- start output buffering ( add ob_start() )

*/

function echosplash_help($section){
switch($section){
case 'admin/modules#description':
return t('Enables the creation of a splash page');
break;
}
}

function echosplash_menu($type){
$links[] = array(
'access' => true,
'type' => MENU_CALLBACK,
'path' => 'splash',
'callback' => 'echosplash_page'
);

return $links;
}

function echosplash_page($bypass=false){
$page = variable_get("echosplash_page","");
if (empty($page)){
menu_set_active_item("node");
menu_execute_active_handler();

I have installed a new version of Drupal 4.6 and the latest version of the Audio Module. I can't get this thing to work. I can upload the audio file ... it posts it correctly and everything but when i click to play it, no flash player is activated(am i susposed to config this somehow??) instead it tries to download some crazycode(asdAFASD).exe file. This also happens when i click to download the song. Has anyone encountered this problem? Im excited to get this functioning!!! PLEASE HELP thanks.

Anyone has any experience with integrating MyHeadlines with Drupal ?

Or any module for Drupal that has similar features with MyHeadlines ?

I have been working a lot with the new forms API and it is great. I am having one problem though that is becoming very frustrating and I cannot for the life of me figure out the solution.

Hello

Has anybody written a module that uses bloggerAPI or something related to add 'blog this' entries to nodes (similar to www.digg.com) ?

Thanks
