Module development and code questions

HI

How do I raise the limit on the maximum number of characters allowable in a blog title? A number of the scientific articles I blog are cut off at the knees, since they are a tad longer than the current limit. Can I raise the limit to 255 characters?

Thanks for your help.

I am looking for a bibliography module that maintains a bibliography comprising of books and papers.
Each bibliography will item could have the following attributes:
Title, Author, URL , Abstract, Publication Location, Publisher, Publication Date, Volume, Issue, Pages and notes

I want to display the entries in a tabular format and allow the users to sort on title, authos, publication date, and
date added.

I want a button in the form like this (not a submit button but a button type button):

<input class="form-submit" name="op" value="New" type="button">

I use this code:

 $form['New'] = array(
  '#type' => 'button',
  '#value' => t('New'),
  '#weight' => 19,
);

....but I obtain a submit button like this:

I'm trying to modify the display of my event calednar in list form to include the location. My PHP knowledge is very limited, but I'm trying to use "$node->event_location" to call up the location using this line:

  $output .= '<div class="location">'. t('Location') .': '. $node->event_location ."</div>\n";

This brings up "Location :" in the listing, but nothing more. I'm using the event module with flexinode and I'm at a loss as to what string I need to call up to display the location.

I know several people have been looking for a module that allows single sign-on for these two apps. Just ran across a post at coppermine.net that has some help:

I was reading on this site that someone had made some php changes to the Book Review module, for the following functions:

thumbnailing images on the "teaser" page

aligning the book stats (pages, publisher, ISBN #, all those kinds of data) on the right of the larger image inside the actual review.

I am looking around for this functionality but unfortunately can't find it anywhere. Does anyone know of a patch or update for bookreview that will allow this? Or can someone tell me how to do that in php (I don't really know much php unfortunately)

Thanks!
