Module development and code questions

This is to any of you developers out there... is there any way of seeing how many people have downloaded your module from drupal.org? Beyond that, have you incorporated any way to see how many people are actually using it?

My module gets little attention, very few bug reports... either it's unbelievably good and there are no bugs, or, more likely, not a lot of people are using it.

Trying to decide whether it is worth continuing to support on the site.

I have a site using the filestore2 module. As the administrator, I can click on the "files" link at the top of the page which loads the top-level filestore2 page and shows the available files.

Normal users, when they click on the same link, get an "access denied" page. No normal users can get to the top level filestore2 page. The only way that they can get to a list of files and download them is by looking at the calender and seeing the files uploaded and clicking on an individual file there.

Is there currently a way to set up a role (moderator) that can delete comments and node, but doesn't have access to change the settings for comments and nodes? All I can find is "administer", which allows both. I don't want my moderators to be able to change settings, but I *do* want them to be able to delete comments and nodes.

If I had to hack this in, how would I do that?

Validation routine does not work in 4.5.0 for detail field and for additional fields.
Also, error management is not aligned to 4.5.0, i.e. it does not use form_set_error routine.

I opened an issue and created a patch.
Is anyone interested in fixing this problem ??

Hi.
Is there a way to have a term for a taxonomy vocabulary and a url alias created at the same time?

So I could add 'projects' to the vocab 'menu' and have it create the url alias 'menu/projects' ?
It would be really usefull, I'm not afraid of diving into some code, and it has to be postgres based...

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

I'm working on a module (which I have briefly described here), and want to redirect the output while displaying a message.

In short, I use the nodeapi hook and "validate" switch to check whether the node is available for editing or not (unavailable means it has been logically locked by another user). If the node is not available, then I want to display the node in "view" mode, not in "edit" mode, with a warning message.
