Module development and code questions

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.

Hi

I have not found information about image handling in the HEAD / CVS version of Drupal.

Wonder, which would be the module ready for 4.7 and which would allow best the inclusion of images, thumbnails etc.. Is tehre a "one-for-all" solution ?

Thanks for input and advice.

I was thinking about this today as I was adding reviews to my site. Eventually I am going to add a duplicate review. Is there a way for amazon items/reviews to check(by asin or something else) already posted reviews so as not to post duplicates? I could probably search myself but if it search when I previewed or submitted a review and alerted me to the duplicate, maybe with an option to overide and post anyway?!?

I'm creating a module that emails users once their account has been approved. To do this, I need some sort of way to mark each account to tell if it has been changed, and if an email has been sent. Could I use the users.data database field for this?

I'd like to try to do this without imposing a new database table. This is why I'd like to use something existing, like the users.data field.

If this is possible, is there a programmatic (perhaps through the drupal API) way to do this? ANy examples or suggestions would be greatly appreciated - thanks.
