Module development and code questions

Hi everybody.

I'm working on a module which adds a new node type.
This new node type has a "closing_date" field which is in unix date format.

I need to show informations about the remaining time before the closing date calcolated from current time.

Drupal support the configuration of timezones.

What do I need to do to correctly use dates with timezones??

example:
closing date is 12/12/2006 15:00 GMT
I've set GMT as my timezone on my drupal account page
In my timezone is 12/12/2006 13:00
the module show "2 hours remaining"

Hi everybody!

I need to set the title of a node from other fields provided
by a custom module created by me.

The custom module has two fields called number and name.

How do I set the node title to be 'number . name' ?

thank you.

I really hate the way that book.module generates the "printer-friendly" link without checking whether or not the current page is actually of the "book page" type. Instead it seems that the only check is:

if ($type == 'node' && isset($node->parent)) {

which is certainly not an ideal way of doing things... if a module also defines a "parent" attribute to the node, then it will get the printer friendly links no matter what. I have to hack the book.module every time I upgrade.

Just a quick one to mention I have uploaded a new project to the contribtions folder called FLEXISEARCH.MODULE which is essentially an add-on module for flexinode that offers an advanced search page for content types.

brief description

The flexisearch.module allows site admins to setup a custom flexinode content search page that permits users, with permission, to search through specific content fields and content types. A simple settings page offers complete control on which content types and which content type fields appear on the flexisearch page.

Hi there! Is anyone using the mailhandler module with 4.7 Beta/CVS and can give hints on whether the module is compatible?

Thanks!
