Module development and code questions

Where are the forms or links to use after creating a paypal subscription item using the paypal subscription module? Aren't the users supposed to be presented with a link or form to subscribe if they have not already done so?

After seeing the Metadata-driven workflow of John VanDyk, I was testing this stuff here at home. But I challenge a problem.

For example, you have the following workflow: (creation) => WIP => rereading => publishing

When you're admin, you can access a state who isn't published.

But when you're not admin, how can you give roles permission to see this states?

hello everybody,

I don't understand how to create a module?

If somebody can help me, would be really sympathetic.

I'm interested in placing a word limit in a node entry ... perhaps by utilizing flexinode. Essentially, I want users to write an entry that can be no longer than 750 words (or perhaps 4,000 characters.)

Does anyone have any ideas on how to make this work?

Many thanks,

Matt

It's become painful obvious that one of the areas that Drupal needs some work is in it's gallery/photo module. I've gotten a little frustrated an almost abandoned Drupal's module in favor of going to a packaged program. However, that defeats one of the best things about Drupal - tight code integration.
