Module development and code questions

hi

I am new to drupal and I try to build a page for my sports club. After themeing and building a plan I am no looking into module development to build some special node types as a team module.

This team module should contain teams and players that belong to a team. I would like to add a picture to each, the team and to all players. That is where I need suggestions from experienced drupal guys: Shall I use the existing image module or should I implement everything by my own? If I should use the image module, what is the best way to accomplish this?

Hi!

I would like to ask whether has anybody already implemented this features?
Because than I won't put effort making them :)

To be clear and clarify what I'm missing:

Hi,

is there a way to retrieve a list of users (e.g. an array filled with things like the global $user, but one entry for every user available in the database?

i could use plain sql queries on the user and profile tables, but i would prefer a more portable way to accomplish this. Any ideas?

Hi,

I add a php block in the admin menu and It works. How can I create a local module (for downloading)?
The below-mentioned php code generate an error "Parse error: parse error, unexpected T_STRING in" in the admin section "modules":

$block['content'] .= '
<?php
... PHP block content ...
?>

Hi all,

I am currently facing a minor problem in my website development and I was hoping someone on this forum could provide some guidance.

I would like to have two distinct types of users on my website: members and publishers. These two user types will need to fill in different information on their user profiles - in addition to being assigned different roles. For example, for members I would be interested in their age, but for publishers, I would be interested in their Company Name.

I am new to Drupal, but am really impressed with the ease of use, good OO nature and elegance of the code and clean look and feel.

I have a problem, though, with the Event/Calendar module. I install it and enable it so that the calendar appears in a side block. However, when I click on the month at the top of the calendar or a day on the calendar where there is an event, I only get a Home >> Events page with two drop down lists. There is no calendar that is displayed in the middle/main column. From one standpoint, the problem is that on the URL, I get index.php?q=event/2005/05/05 (for example). If I append the '/month' on the end, then I do see a month calendar displayed. The problem is similar for clicking on the individual day in the block calendar on the side - there is no '/day' on the end of the URL. Also, selecting anything from the drop down boxes when there is no calendar displayed on the Home >> Events page will not display any of the calendars. I have to explicitly put the '/month' or '/day' or '/week' at the end of the URL.

I am looking into the code and have found a workaround for the month header in the calendar in the side block. I just append '/month' or set $view to "month" and then append '/' . $view to the end of the $headertitle when it is being created. Is this kosher? Am I missing something in all of this? This seems so close, but little things like this will be huge to a new user.
