Module development and code questions

Hi all,
to ensure referential integrity between tables of our db we have to leave the myIsam engine to meet a mysql engine that support referential integrity as innodb.
Do you know if are there any problems to use drupal on a mysql innodb engine?
Do you know if there is any specific hint/documentatio to follow? (i've fastly searched without find any)

Does anyone have a working weather module to work with the Drupal version 4.6.x?

Thanks!

I have pathauto controlling the alias' for all my nodes, however I am noticing some peculiarities with it.

Firstly, all my categories (taxonomy definitions) do not have the spaces removed and replaced by the "-" which i have specified. So the url ends up being "mysite.com/category name" which is pretty bad.

Secondly, how do i put a trailing "/" at the end of each alias? From my research in SEO, google prefers either an extension such as html, or a "/" to indicate a directory. I have set it in pathauto to put a trailing slash on the end, but it never does it.

I just finished a Ajax powered shoutbox (based on chategory).
Now I am trying to imporve it and one of the thing that I wanna do is to have "auto url link" thingy.
I replaced the http://... with link, which didn't do the trick.

So, could anybody plz point me to the right direction of how to do this ? I've looked at the APIs such as t, l, url and the hook_filter but have no clue how to use it.

Thanks a bunch!

I'm hunting for the 4.4 versions of some non-core drupal modules using the cvs.drupal.org/viewcvs interface. Inside the drupal/drupal/modules directory, I can see all the core modules, and can choose to filter according to the DRUPAL-4-4 tag. But inside the contributions repository (drupal/contributions) my only options to filter seem to be the MAIN and HEAD tags. This despite the fact that versions of individual contributed modules do seem to have been tagged with DRUPAL-4-4. Any advice?

Hi,

another problem:
I need to add some more fields to the user table (or create a new linked table with some fields).
Whats the best way to do that ?

. modify the user.module (probably I will have some problems on the new future versiono of drupal)
. inherits (in witch way?) the user.module and enhance his functionality
. create a new module and link in some way the functionalities of both

Any idea?

Thank's

Marcello
