Module development and code questions

Hi, there,

I'm new to Drupal, however I decided to use it for my business website.

I'd like to develop/use a quotation module for online shopping. I wondered if anyone had done this before or already been working on it. I feel it should have some link with the e-commerce module, as at least the payment module will be used.

The requirements and the functions are,

- There is a quotation request page based on a form.
-- This page will be controlled by a user login and then the request is assigned to this user.
-- Q: any way to allow the adminstrator, instead of the developer(like me), to design the contents of such page?
-- This form should allow the user to upload his/her design files.

- The requst information will be presented to the adminsitrator, and administrator fills a quotation form which replys to the request user.
-- A unique quotation number will be assigned automatically. This number should contain encrypted digits so that 1) an error can be detect when there is a typo 2) provent one user from probing another user's quotation.
-- Q: any way to allow the adminstrator, instead of the developer, to design the contents of such a page?
-- When the quotation is created, an email will be sent to the request user automatically.
-- The quotation will be place in a quotation product database (table) for a specific period.

- The quotation can be purchased by any one, even a non-login user, with the quotation number. This helps the purchase by a large organization who has a rigid procedure for ordering.

I'm using Drupal 4.7 Form API and want to add some extra code to "Save configuration"
and "Reset to defaults" on settings page? Is it possible to extend the default functions?
What I want for "reset" is a call to DB that removes all according variables instead of
only reset the forms on settings page. And on "save" I want to modify some variables
depending on the user input.

I plan to install TinyMCE WYSIWYG Editor. The installation instructions suggest using TinyMCE 1.44, but I noticed TinyMCE 2.0.2 is available.

Will TinyMCE WYSIWYG Editor work with TinyMCE 2.0.2?

Hi

I was looking for some help using the Views API. I want to query on custom fields when I make my node listing so I dont' think I can use the form to generate my page. I am trying to use the various handlers to just make a simple listing available as a first step. I took the example table description from the API.txt file and put it in my module with no changes except the name:

I use 3 languages german, french and english.

- I switched to french and created a new term "contact"
- if I go to localisation now an search for this string to translate I will find it and there is a de whitch need translation
- but opening the translation dialog will show me a german and a french field to fill it.

is this a bug or a feature?

The 4.7 search do not work at http://cms.stnetwork.de but advanced search is ok. I run /cron.php and poormanscron is also running fine, but why do only the advanced search display results?

best wishes from germany, holger
