Module development and code questions

Not that I've been able to find anything like this for any other site or message board software, but I'd really be interested in someday applying a dice roller to one of my sites, for the purpose of play-by-post roleplaying and such. If I'm missing something notable, could someone point it out to me? (..not limited to drupal.. I haven't been able to find a dice roller for anything!.. even something as common as phpbb..) If I knew how to go about it, I'd build it myself.. but I still have my hands slightly full getting used to customizing themes. For someone that is fully capable of envisioning and for that matter executing such a task, at very least (if you don't want to just go ahead and make it for me.. :D ) could you give me an idea of a difficulty level?

Some features I had imagined it could have..
_{~simple XdY format.. probably a string of text in brackets .. [roll=2d4]
~multiple dice in one roll .. [roll=1d4,2d6,8d100]
~have some sort a history table in the database or something? the rolls would be numbered in sequence.. perhaps a page could display the numbers, each of these numbers could then be linked to the article or post in which they were rolled.}

My followup question basically being, would the history feature be the downfall of an attempt at such a project? I MIGHT have a person or two to beg to do this for me, but I have to be able to convince them that it's not a waste of time first. ;)

Hi guys

I been using drupal for a while now but have put off the whole process of looking at module development but my time has some

I going to start with something easy mh easy famous last words, What I was thinking of was coding a module that give the user the ability of displaying the <

I just recently found Drupal while looking for a CMS that could integrate with Gallery. I've got that up and working on my site and am very happy with it. The only additional thing I want to provide to people on the site is the ability to access their email. I saw that their is a SquirrelMail module, but I really prefer Horde IMP for webmail. I saw a post from a while back about someone writing a module to integrate Horde but the site referenced didn't have any information about the module. I'm wondering if someone is still working on a module like this and what the status is.

I am using the location moduke. I downloaded the zip code file and recieve the following error:

SQL-query: 

--
-- United States of America version.
-- America! Yeah!
-- Dumping data for table `zipcodes`
--
INSERT INTO zipcodes
VALUES (

'00210', 'Portsmouth', 'NH', '43.005895', '-71.013202' , -5, 1, 'us'
) 
MySQL said:  

#1146 - Table 'netgri_drupal.zipcodes' doesn't exist

It is obvious to me that I need to create the database. Yet I cannon find a sql file to do the work for me - where is it located? Or do I just need to create a new table and add these values or do Can anyone provide advice on this?

Thanks,
Peter

Hi.

I'm trying to hack in the node title and body into the email that is sent out with the forward module.

despite including:

$node = node_load($nid);

and

$body .= $node->title;
$body .= $node->body;

into the message nothing is showing up when the email is sent.

Can anyone let me know how to do this?
