Module development and code questions

I'm not sure where else to put this, here seems most logical. I've been working with the GMAP module to get it working with 4.7. So far it's up and running and i've worked around the interference with the collapse.js file. (using gmap messed up the menu collape system). I have also added in some inital support for the XMaps library found at http://xmaps.busmonster.com/documentation.html.

I made modifications in the flexinode module.
How can I share it with you?

1. french translation of the module
2. capability to the form to be translate
3. bug on the search on multiselect , miss %
4. multi-select again, the request on ,1 and ,10 may be confusing, I arranged that
5. add the capability to add fieldset around fields for visibility

I need help because the fieldset don't appear in the print mode.
I would like to have a large text between field to explain some part
of the form.

Thanks

Hi guys!

Am having problem with sending Robert's enewsletter module. Perhaps somebody has an idea of how I can fix this problem? --

Hi

I am trying to move my module development and site development over to 4.7 so I don't get left behind.
I installed drupal-cvs.tar.gz and got my own module working with the new forms. The rest of the site I'd like to create is giving me some problems and there are 2 symptoms I'd like some pointers on.

1) There are a few modules which I have tried to install that give me errors I think are related to the new
form API.

For example:

I installed drupal.org/files/projects/fckeditor-cvs.tar.gz and get the following when I try to access the settings page:

Fatal error: Call to undefined function: form_textfield()
modules/fckeditor/fckeditor.module on line 75

Can someone tell me if this module will be updated by someone and if there is a list of modules that people will be updating? I can approach each module maintainer individually but if there is general knowledge that its coming and I have just jumped the gun then someone please say something.

2) A few modules also just freeze the modules link. Clicking on it does nothing - it loads but exactly the same page - well it just doesn't change at all. Modules that do this include og (-cvs.tar.gz), simplenews (-cvs.tar.gz), latexfilter (-cvs.tar.gz). If I delete the directory everythign starts to work again.

Is this also related to 4.7 changes and has anyone seen this behaviour before or can someone suggest something?

has anyone made a hack to the taxonomy module to limit the selection of taxonomy terms to a certain number?

i'd like to be able to select multiple terms with a limit of, say, 4 terms.

is it possible to do this with the current interface? it seems like it may not be given how you can either have a select box or a multple-select dropdown menu.

any ideas would be appreciated.

thanks!

erik.

Hello,

It is not clear to me if modules can override theme_* functions (eg. theme_username). Clearly, I could do it with a theme, but that seems like an unfortunate way to do it, as module installation would be a pain.

Any thoughts?
