Module development and code questions

Hi,

I'm running drupal 4.6.2 and my drupal site heavily relies on the book module, however it doesn't seem to display the author name or date on the book nodes as it did when I ran 4.5. Is this a bug or just a downgraded feature of the module for 4.6? Or have I done something wrong and switched that setting off somewhere?

Open to all advice.

Thanks alot.

F.Q.

I want to create a link so that i can list "online users" in a page like users list (http://drupal.org/profile)

how can i do this?

the following line:

<smile type="text/css" media="all">@import "misc/drupal.css";<link rel="EditURI" type="application/rsd+xml" title="RSD" href="http://varnelis.net/blogapi/rsd">

which appears to be created by blogapi makes my site fail xhtml validation. what can I (or drupal developers) do about it?

obviously, in the line of code above, smile is really style, but the forum won't let me input style, even with the code tags around it!

I've been having a tiny bit of a problem with modules on Drupal :)
It seems that quite a few of them have the ability to muck up the core.
So I was wondering if anyone had any information on which modules were viewed as being stable? Or at least ones that, if unstable, won't crash the core?
The rather steep learning curve I'm facing with Drupal had been kinda steepened by having various modules backfire on me :)

I just came cross this 2 GPL PHP application.

They are fresh, light, good looking and work simple, good user interface and other good specs as alternative to Drupal ones (see links for detailed specs)

Hello everybody!

For example, this http://drupal.org/node/21673 trouble was fixed quite fast after the last (at the moment) release, but we still don't have a new version with this fix (about 2 monthes already passed).

I'd like to take part in development of this module - it's GREAT but really NEEDS a lot of fixes and features.

Wrote a message to JonBob and a message to Killes but still don't have response.

Who can help me? I'm a contributor!
