Module development and code questions

If I have a certain node type defined by some module and I want to extend the functionality of this node type, is it possible to create a "sub-module" so that I don't have to copy all the code (blabla hundreds of reasons why you don't like to do this...)?

I would think so, because all nodes are based on node and (can) overwrite node_hook (well, this is at least my perception as a real drupal noob), but I don't seem to find any documentation on how to do this.

Hi!

I have made some changes to a module that was already branched for DRUPAL-4-7. But the tar file available from the project page doesn't seem to be updated. It still shows "Download latest release (4.7.0, 17/01/2006 - 05:40)", but the last commit for branch DRUPAL-4.7 was at "Wed Feb 15 06:26:10 2006 UTC". This is 2 days ago. Maybe the cvslog module missed that or is it pending to run?

Hello,

I just added to CVS my first attempt at a module, mediumvote:

http://cvs.drupal.org/viewcvs/drupal/contributions/modules/mediumvote/

From README.txt:

MediumVote is based on Eaton's excellent SimpleVote module.

In learning SimpleVote and VotingAPI I wanted to extend some of the features provided by SimpleVote, so I created MediumVote to:

I haven't had any difficulty installing modules before, but for some reason I'm having difficulty with the Views module.

Everything looks ok. I have properly added the tables to MySQL. I have modified my permissions appropriately in Access Control. But, when I click on "Views", nothing loads - I just get a white screen. When I check the page source of this white screen, no code appears - just nothing.

Anyone know what I'm doing wrong? Should I copy the include files somewhere (this is the only thing I can think of).

Thanks in advance.

Hi, working on upgrading a gallery2 mod. Was wondering if there was a hook to catch it when roles are added or removed. I want to map roles to g2 groups, but I think I need this ability to do it correctly.

Hi All,
