Module development and code questions

Hello,

I am trying to print the latest story from my "news" taxonomy to my front_page. The story prints, but it is only partially formatted. The "posted by" ("div class=posted") is not a link and contains the wrong user information - it says the poster was "Anonymous", when it is not. Also the story content is not printing in a "p" tag, and the feedback links are not printing. Here's the crux of the function:

function printNewest ($type, $limit) {
$result = db_query("SELECT * FROM node n WHERE n.type = '$type' and promote = '1'
ORDER BY n.nid DESC LIMIT $limit");
$node = db_fetch_object($result);
print theme('node', $node);
}

From the front_page I pass in the value of 'story' for $type and the value of '1' for $limit. I get one story back, and it prints, however as I said it's only partially formatted. I feel like I am either missing a step somewhere or the query is wrong, but I can't figure it out as my experience is limited. I've read the relevant module dev articles but I can't seem to put my finger on the problem. The code is in an enabled module. Here's the link to my development directory:

http://www.skatemental.com/drupal-4.6.0

The story is there on the front page. I'll try to see if the code works better within the front_page textareas, but any help or insight would be very, very welcome. This is using the phpTemplate engine.

Thank you,

I apologize if this is the wrong place for this, but I'm curious: has anybody tried the old (4.5.x) Weblink module with a Drupal 4.6.0? The new Weblink module has removed almost all the functionality of the old one, so I would like to go back if possible.

Or was it "taxonomy user"? I remember seeing something in CVS right around 4.3 or 4.4 that automatically tagged user-contributed content with a taxonomy term generated from their username. This enabled a simple, universal way of tracking each user's content. I thought it was a good idea at the time, but I didn't have any kind of use for it. When I look back in CVS, I can't find it anymore.

Over at http://www.reblog.org they have a wonderful aggregator called refeed that is being used as a reblogger tool. There is a reblog plugin for a few popular blogging tools like Wordpress, Movable Type, etc.

Hi,
search module works good, but when I try to find some text with slash (for example: 30/05/2005) it will make error:

Not Found
The requested URL /gauranga/search/node/30/05/05 was not found on this server.

I tryed to search also here on drupal.org but it is same error.
It is possible to repair this error in .htaccess file or I must change code in search module?

Hi,

I've built a node module and i was wondering if there is a way to pass parameters to the module before the form is shown.
e.g. is it possible to do something like: http://example.com/node/add/mynodetype/23/56 so that 23 and 56 are 2 parameter values that can be used in the form (e.g. as hidden fields)

greets,
