Module development and code questions

Hello, I'm developing a Drupal 4.6.2 based site for an educational organization, we will have students and teachers from universities in several countries.

I know how to create new node types and for this project I will create a couple of "base" node types (university and country) that should be used by other node types, so the administrator can add new universities and countries as needed.

Hello,

For some nodes in my module, I'd like to add some data in the headers, like additional META tags, or some extra css styles.

I can't find a hook_html_head() function that would allow me to do so?

Can you confirm it's impossible, or is there a way I missed?

thanks.

Hello ,

I am having difficulties installing the patch taxonomy_all.patch on top of drupal 4.6.1
with both normal and enhanced privileges.

The patch has been uploaded to the root of my drupal installation.

From this directory when i issue the shell command
# patch < taxonomy_all.patch
File to patch : database/database.mysql

i receive the error
... can't find file to patch at input line 28

Similar problems are found for other patches for database/updates.inc and modules/taxonomy.module

I'm brand new to Drupal, after about 4 years of PostNuke.

One of the features that is super cool in Drupal, and one I would have written for my PostNuke sites if I were not making the switch is the drop down menus, and just to be sure we're on the same page, I mean the menu options you click on that then roll down more directly underneath.

I'm going through the docs now. I've been through modules developer guide, but maybe I missed how you make one module a 'sub-module' of another.

Can anyone point me in the right direction?

Thanks!

I wrote a flexinode field to easily manage a list of elements. You can choose to have an ordered or an unordered list; each element will have its own textfield.

Known issues: preview doesn't work (any idea?)

Here's the code, put it in

field_list.inc

in your flexinode directory.


<?php

function flexinode_field_list_name($field) {
return t('list');
}

function flexinode_field_list_form($field, &$node) {
$fieldname = 'flexinode_'. $field->field_id;

foreach ($node->$fieldname as $item) {
$item_fields .= form_textfield('', 'items][', $item, 60, 128);
}

$edit = $_POST['edit'];
if ($edit['items']) {
foreach ($edit['items'] as $item) {
$item_fields .= form_textfield('', 'items][', $item, 60, 128);
}
} else {
$item_fields .= form_textfield('', 'items][', '', 60, 128);
$item_fields .= form_textfield('', 'items][', '', 60, 128);
$item_fields .= form_textfield('', 'items][', '', 60, 128);
}
if($_POST['more']) {
$item_fields .= form_textfield('', 'items][', '', 60, 128);
$item_fields .= form_textfield('', 'items][', '', 60, 128);
$item_fields .= form_textfield('', 'items][', '', 60, 128);
}
$item_fields .= form_button(t('More fields'), 'more');

return form_group(t($field->label), $item_fields);
}

function flexinode_field_list_db_select($field) {
$fieldname = 'flexinode_'. $field->field_id;

Hello,

I'm very happy that Drupal is so quickly responding for new possibilities. The Google SiteMaps is very exciting possibility to increase number of visits.

But I can find to such modules on Drupal site.
