Module development and code questions

How does Drupal track sessions? Is there any information available on how this is done with drupal? I am familiar with php sessions but have been able to nail down how drupal uses it.

Thank you,

Has anyone developed or given though to developing mechanisms to export user profile data to vCard format, or for exporting events as vCalendar files? Is this something I am better off generating with a Perl script rather than going through Drupal?

I have a piece of code that works to provide functionality that drupal does not. This will allow my users to upload large files directly to a specified directory on my server. I've attempted to utilize the filestore.module but unfortunately because it stores binaries in the SQL database rather than on the hard drive, it will not work well for my files - which are frequently between 20MB and 30MB in size. I do not want download functionality - only upload.

Hello everyone. I have uploaded to CVS versions for Drupal 4.3 and 4.4 of a module I've been developing to allow users to view and download files from an existing directory structure. It's similar to Apache's indexing functionality but is controlled within Drupal (user access, etc). It also includes a page for users to track additions to the file archive.

I've found it useful. Let me know what you think...

Thanks,

As I can see by patch structure (when it goes to 'to use my module you have to apply those patches to some core files') some soft could be used. Am I right? I'm using MacOS X generally. But this could be PC also.

Any suggestions?
Thanks.

I've recently been granted access to CVS and just submitted my Figlet module. It's a Drupalized implementation of the phpFiglet class which can be found at http://www.thebobo.com/code/phpfiglet. You can see what it does without having to install it by visiting http://www.thebobo.com/figlet. At this moment I'm planning on also creating an output filter so that text can be figletized on the fly. All feedback is welcome!
