Module development and code questions

Hi,

I'm using Drupal for a couple of month now and since I want to use it for all my further projects I'd really like to be able to write my modules using some basic MVC architecture.

So here is how I want to do it: I want to have a module called 'mvc' which will include my basic classes for Model's, Controller's and Views and I want to have a new Folder in modules called mvc with the following sub-folders:

mvc/models
mvc/controllers
mvc/views

Whenever a page is requested and no page is found I want to make drupal call a function of my mvc modules which is going to look for a controller with the name of the first argument. So for example if somebody calls www.my-site.com/projects/add and drupal doesn't have a path for that registered I want my mvc module to check if there is a file called mvc/controllers/projects.php and if yes include that file (+ models, views) and check if there is a class called mvc_projects and if yes initalize it and call a function in it passing the other arguments (here: 'add'). Then the controller will use a switch statement to figure out the kind of request and after that calling various functions on the model and finally call a function in the view class in order to display the entire thing.

So my question basically is:
- How do I tell drupal to make a function of my module the default 'page not found' callback?

For everybody interested in the mvc the module itself here is what I want to accomplish:

I'm writing a filter module which allows a limited range of simple Textile-type markup, with *bold* and _underline_ and the like.

Most everything works fairly well, but I'm have a problem with URLs. With ALL OTHER FILTERS SHUT OFF, if I specify a URL in the markup, like so:

[www.somesite.com| the site]

it creates a link, but the URL of the link turns out to be

http://www.MYSITE.com/www.somesite.com

Greeting,

I have the following code in my module and 'destination' attribute is completely ignored after user logs in.

if (!($user->uid > 0)) {
  drupal_set_message(t('Login or <a href="/%reg-link">register</a> to continue the purchase process', array('%reg-link' => url('user/register'))));
  drupal_goto('user?destination=' . $goBackURL);
}

Any clues?

Thanks.

What order should functions be in in a module? Or does it not matter? I couldn't find anything in the handbook (sorry [very sorry] if I missed it there, and this is a needless post).

Hi.

I'm completely stunned after trying to get the filemanager module working with acidfree (also tested with attachment module, with the same result).

I did this:
1. Installed filemanager, acidfree and attachment modules (setup database for every module).
2. Entered the correct settings for all the different modules.

When I try to upload a image (acidfree) I get the following error:

File copy failed: no directory configured, or it could not be accessed.
File copy failed: no directory configured, or it could not be accessed.
File copy failed: no directory configured, or it could not be accessed.
(yes, 3x times. only one time if using attachment module)

I figured that it had to be my paths in admin/settings/filemanager but all the paths are correct and the folders have the correct attributes (apache writable). Acidfree have actually created the working/0/ folder, but it cannot upload / save the actual images. I have tried both relative and absolute paths and have made sure that the public url is correct and working.

When I try to upload a image everything works, except that the image is not saved to disk. The image node is saved and working. Just the image missing.

The drupal log shows nothing except:
2005-11-18 22:35 acidfree: added Test

No error messages in the log.

I am using latest version of drupal (6.4.3) and the latest version of all the three modules.

Hi all,

I was wondering if there happens to be a way to allow for either random or rotation of a block displayed in the sidebar. Specifically, i would like to rotate through different "link ads" on the right sidebar to give the site a more dynamic feel.

Any suggestions would be appreciated (and I appologize if i have missed this topic in the forum)

Thanks!
