Module development and code questions

I have programmed two modules recently.

They both have links to nodes as part of the menus.

They both refer to the nodes in the following way:

l($goto->title, "/node/$goto->nid");

In an instance where both modules refer to the same node, only one of them is linking to the URLALIAS (in this case, it is "/garage/89_civic") and the other links to "/node/231."

Hello,

I am working on an idea I for Organic Groups I call "autogroups," where groups are created and populated automatically based on the roles in a system.

In looking to implement my solution, I want to act on user objects after updates to a user's role. It would seem the obvious hook to implement is hook_user.

The long-awaited category module has finally been released! You can read all about the project's cool features, and its current status (and download it for CVS/4.7), at this page:

http://drupal.org/node/39683

The original category module proposal explains a lot of the concepts and motivations behind this project, as well as a huge number of comments that users have left over the past few months:

http://drupal.org/node/23730

this is probably bad form, but i was a bit irked since comment module adds itself to the links array, which also outputs the categories, so you get a bit less control over the display if you wanted to distinguish between the category link(s) and the "add a comment" link, for example.

a quick search and replace of "$links" to "$commentsLink" in comments.module, and then adding print $commentsLink to your theme (i use phptemplate for my engine) lets you have quite a bit more formatting power over that section of the output.

Hello,

I am getting a error when using front_page on my new 4.6.4 with latest php version. The adminstration settings page just gives "Array" text and two buttons. All other modules are working fine. I was wondering if anyone has a fix?

Thanks,
John

I have taken over the development of the GoogleMap Module created by bjornarneson. We are in the process of updating CVS but I wanted to announce some changes and updates to the module:

Core Functionality
- Multiple maps: each map is now a node
- Multiple RSS feeds: imports any number of local RSS feeds
- Custom icons: Specify a custom for each feed
- Lines with custom color (per feed level)
- IE compatibility (I hope, see the Lines nodeAPI below for caveats)

See an example of this: http://island94.org/node/15

You can get an advance copy here (or wait for the CVS, there still may be a few bugs to squash): http://drupal.org/files/issues/googlemap-2005-12-1-1624.tar

Added Functionality
NodeAPI for Lines: allows lines to be drawn at a node level (no easy way to create the line...yet, I'm looking at incorporating some of the functionality of GMap Filter module). Lines are then injected into the RSS feed. I use the tag "line" but I am not sure if this will create a namespace collision anywhere (this may break IE).

Additionally included
- Fullfeed.module: Because Drupal 4.6 caps feeds at 15 items, this module creates entire feeds of content. Code is ripped from taxonomy.module, so for a feed of term 1: /fullfeed/taxonomy/term/1/0/feed. I understand this can also be useful for getting your site indexed.
