Module development and code questions

A simple question for which someone can hopefully supply an easy answer:

If I've downloaded the latest taxonomy_access module from CVS (which was updated 18 hours ago) do I still want to apply the patch (which was updated 5 weeks ago)?

I've been running around trying to figure out how to make different Windows diff programs work, but I'm not really sure that I even need to do this.

Thanks in advanced for your replies.

Is there a module or method by which Drupal can assign "credit" to users based on

Please see here for the issue that I reopened... I'm not sure, but it would appear that the 'issues' aren't viewed as frequently as forum nodes on Drupal.org, which is why I'm posting a link to the issue at hand here.

Thanks,

IRRITATED BY HIGHER CASE TEXT? Has anybody considered making a filter for it?

Hi everybody.

I have a problem to configure the emailpage in order to show a "envelope picture", the picture jump to the next row...for example in http://www.familytimes.com/ the envelope continue in the same line..in my case jump to next one...any advice?...thanks in advanced.

here is the script
-----

// This var is set in the settings section under the admin/modules/emailpage section
// It shows 'email this $nodetype' or 'email this page'
$e_l_t=variable_get('emailpage_link_type', 0);
switch($type) {
case "comment":
$links[] = l(t(""), "emailpage/$node->nid".($type=='comment'?'/'.$node->cid:''), array("title" => t("Email this comment to a friend")), NULL);
break;
case "node":
if($main && variable_get('emailpage_show_on_main', 0)) {
// if enabled, show link on teasers
$links[] = l(t("", array('%name'=>($e_l_t?$node->type:'page'))), "emailpage/$node->nid", array("title" => t("Email this ". ($e_l_t?$node->type:'page') ." to a friend")), NULL);
}
elseif(!$main) {
// show on main node view
$links[] = l(t("", array('%name'=>($e_l_t?$node->type:'page'))), "emailpage/$node->nid", array("title" => t("Email this ". ($e_l_t?$node->type:'page') ." to a friend")), NULL);

I'm building a custom module, how do I make a file field that uploads a JPEG into the file system? and then displays this image on the node? I've written a custom theming function so it needs to be compatible with that.

I'm using 4.5.1 on a postgres database.

Any ideas?

Thanks
