Module development and code questions

Snippets offer functionality similar to standard PHP-execution filter, but I hope in more flexible manner. Site admin or power users may create named snippets of PHP-code (with access to Drupal API), then categorize and store them to the site code repository. Particular users can't view PHP-code - only snippet name and help. From user point of view - snippets are macros, which may be used in postings - nodes and comments. Macros may accept parameters which transferred to snippet code. Example: [macro], [macro|param1|param2], [link|9165].

Where are Permissions by role defined in the Database?

I have created a Module that uses the _perm hook but I am curious where it is actually stored within the system? I have looked throught the database and cannot find it under any of the tables.

I thought it would be under the variables table but did not see it in there.

Very curious because I wanted to clean up some old hooks I made. Mostly because I want to know where Drupal keeps this list.

Thanks!

I've added a bunch of new user profiles under: administer -> users -> configure -> profiles

If I want to do some simple data validation on these new fields, what is the most logical place to put my PHP code?

thanks!

I wrote this small module to add my onload stuff:

function mytheme_onload() {
  return array("MM_preloadImages('myimages.png', 'myimages2.png')");
} 

I get the following error with image/view:

Hi all.

Is it possible to have flexinode resize the images on upload?

So if a user uploads an image that is 1024x768 and 1.5mb , flexinode resizes it to become only 640x480 and 500kb?

thanks

I've modified urlfilter to create imagefilter. This will convert the address of any image (url of a file ending with jpg,jpeg,png,gif) into an inline img tag. This img will be surrounded by a div class "image" which you can modify in your css.

so effectively with this filter, all you have to insert an image into a node or comment, is to just paste the address of a picture, something like wiki if i'm not mistaken.

file:
imagefilter.module

function imagefilter_help($section) {
  switch ($section) {
    case 'admin/modules#description':
      return t("Automatically turns '.gif', '.jpg', '.jpeg' and '.png' addresses into inline images.");
  }
}


hope somebody finds this useful
function imagefilter_filter_tips($delta, $format, $long = false) {
  return t("'.gif', '.jpg', '.jpeg' and '.png' addresses automatically turn into inline images.");
}

function imagefilter_filter($op, $delta = 0, $format = -1, $text = '') {
  switch ($op) {
    case 'list':
      return array(0 => t("Image filter"));

    case 'description':
      return t("Automatically turns '.gif', '.jpg', '.jpeg' and '.png' addresses into inline images.");

    case 'process':
      $text = ' ' . $text . ' ';


      $HTMLbefore="<div class=image><img src='";
      $HTMLafter="'></div>";

      $text = preg_replace(
        '!(<p>|[ \n\r\t\(])([a-zA-Z0-9@:%_~#?&=.,/;-]*)\.(jpg|jpeg|gif|png)(</p>|[ \n\r\t\)])!i' ,
        " ".$HTMLbefore."$2.$3".$HTMLafter." " ,
        $text
      );

      $text = substr($text, 1, -1);

      return $text;

    default:
      return $text;
  }
}
