Module development and code questions

So, when is it a good idea NOT to create a new node type? I'm working on a small project again with drupal and I am starting to wonder why it's such a great idea to make everything a node, especially since the entries in the node table could possibly end up with empty values for both title and description.

Hi to all!

I got gallery2 wprking with the drupal gallery modul.
Url rewriting seems to work as well.

But the bread crumb links from the gallery2 theme matrix don't work:

e.g. the url in the bread crumb navigation to get back to the top is
http://localhost/gallery/?g2_highlightId=43
-> Error (ERROR_MISSING_OBJECT) : Parent 7 path gallery

Hai,

I am just insatalled the banner module. I can add/edit the banners and is listed as well. Also view link is working fine. But it is not seeing in the front page. I had set the status as enabled. But the result is the same.

Please help me.

Thanks

On this page: http://drupal.org/node/36899 we learn that you no longer need a statement like this...

if (function_exists('taxonomy_node_form')) {
    $output = implode('', taxonomy_node_form($node->type, $node));
  }

... to render a taxonomy selection box on your form. I've tried that out with some modules I'm converting to 4.7 and it works just fine.

I am using hook_form_alter() to modify the form to create/edit/delete a form. I wish to modify the taxonomy select boxes that appear on this form in the "Categories" section. Specifically, I want to either hide 1 or more of the select boxes or add a link next to certain select boxes.

The trouble is that none of these taxonomy form elements appears in the $form variable that is passed to mymodule_form_alter().

How can I modify the taxonomy form elements in the node form?

Thanks

Using Drupal 4.7b2, I used the node_example.module template as the base of my own module. When I upload this file to the ./modules directory, and navigate to admin/modules, once the page is done loading I see the code of my module in a run-on fashion at the top of the screen.

Is this a common problem? I couldn't find anything similar listed on the forums. Perhaps it was introduced with 4.7.
