Module development and code questions

Is there a gallery module that is working with Drupal 4.5.1? I wouldn't mind paying for it.
I heard it's in the works for 4.6, is that right? When can we expect that? How can I contribute to it?
Thx!

Hallo,
da ich gerne das Forum von www.phpBB.de nutzen möchte und das Drupal als CMS, wäre es schön wenn man sich auf dem Drupal einloggt und dann in das Forum wechselt das dort man sich nicht nochmal neu anmleden muß. Sondern das man gleich als, vorausgesetzt man hat sich regestriert, bekannter User erkannt wird. Und sich nicht nochmals einloggen muß.

Gibt es diese Funktion in Drupal, und funktioniert das auch ohne Probleme ? Und kann ich die als Newbie einbauen oder muß man verschiedene Sachen anpassen ?

Danke.

I'm thinking of writing a module for Drupal which would need its own database table, one of the fields being a timestamp for when a node is updated. What kind of database field should I use? I notice that MySQL has column types "datetime" and "timestamp", but that Drupal seems to keep dates in column type "int(11)".

I would also like to be able to find the uid of the user who is executing the current transaction (eg, editing a node).

Any help, or a pointer to the documentation, would be welcome.

this was maybe already pointed out .

If you build a table with a pager based on a sql query in which you use the distinct keyword, Be sure to adapt your call to the pager_query() function in consequence.

you have to specify the fourth parameter of this function : $count_query. If you don't, the system will try with his own count query which is just a replacement of your select by a count(*). Which will get you more record count than you actually have with you query using distinct.

I am hoping to use Drupal as a platform to handle an article submission-review-approval-publish process. Basically, a user submits a paper, the editor appoints a reviewer to review the paper, the reviewer adds a comment, finally the editor approves or rejects the paper. If the paper is approved, it is published.

I wonder if someone has the experience of writing a module for a similar purpose.
Thank you.

hei this is a real save time module! I've founded verty simple an yet powerful. I use in conjunction with CSV table module to do escaping formatting of my pages. But I 'can' t really founded any full documentation, only some examples.

Can someone give me an URL to find these docs ?
