Module development and code questions

Has anyone tweaked flexinode to enable exporting of each flexinode type's data into excel or CSV, and also export the data w/ it's associated taxonomy vocab and terms?

I see how the contact module does this, but it does not export w/ corresponding taxonomy data. Any ideas?

Hi all,

I've been stucked with this for two weeks now.

This block of code does exactly what I want

<?php
  $random_nid = 42;
  $tids = array_keys(taxonomy_node_get_terms($random_nid));
  $result = taxonomy_select_nodes($tids);
  $output .= '<p>';
  $output .= taxonomy_render_nodes($result);
  $output .= '</p>';
  return $output;
?>

but when I use it in my module below, the taxonomy_render_nodes function fails with "memory exausted".
I've tried to increase the memory, but it didn't help.

Any Ideas ?

function committee_view(&$node, $teaser = FALSE, $page = FALSE) {
  $content = theme('committee',$node);
  $node->body = $content;
  return $node; 
}

function theme_committee($node) {
  $output ='';

  $header = array(t("Chair"),t("Secretary"),t('Frequency'),t('Rep/Delegate'));

  $rep = ''; 
  $rows[0] = array($node->chair,$node->secretary,$node->frequency,$rep);

  $output .= theme('table', $header, $rows);

  $output .= '<div class="content">';
  $output .= l(t("Go to the Committee Homepage for more Information"), "$node->homepage");
  $output .= "<br/><br/>";
  $output .= t("$node->body\n");
  $output .= '</div>';

  $tids = array_keys(taxonomy_node_get_terms($node->nid));
  $result = taxonomy_select_nodes($tids);
  $output .= '<p>';
  $output .= taxonomy_render_nodes($result);
  $output .= '</p>';

  return $output;
}

I'm aware some of them wont work but off hand anyone know which ones do work out of the modules that haven't be updated specifically to the new 4.6.1? I'm thinking of using the cafepress one but unsure if it will bork if I attempt to use it.

Hi,
I posted a question about the use of Smarty at http://drupal.org/node/24442 and found my own answer.

My other question is:
Is it desirable to use all those functions like theme('table', $header__row, $rows) , form_submit to create the UI components?

what do I lose if I just html-code tables, forms etc in my smarty template file and fill in the data?

I am using the new module Aggregator2, which creates permanent nodes from RSS feed items. Drupal by default sorts these based on creation date -- a variable the module generates by sniffing the feed's data.

I like this creative use of dating. But I want the nodes instead to be sorted by the order they were generated by Drupal. Newer ones would appear at the top and push older ones south.

I have searched but not found -- probably due to lack of demand -- a way to sort nodes by node id. Ideas?
