Module development and code questions

I'm considering implementing a module that captures more user information than the current user module. I need name and address in addition to user name. I have two questions.

1)Is someone already doing this?
2)Is there some way to extend the user module or would the user module be replaced by this new "super" user module?

Thanks,

How can I simply deactivate the teaser function in the page.module. I tried, but then, Drupal doesn't show me any content.

There is a typo in image.module (both the 4.2.0 release and the current CVS) which prevents the next and previous photo links from appearing.

Here I was thinking I would have to write this functionality myself :-)

From the current CVS, it is on line 216:

// If we are not on the main page then display prev/next links
if (!$main && $slq) {

That should be $sql not $slq

Here's a stupid question, but it didn't show up in the docs so far...

What's a pager?

I'm guessing that it's the "Previous Next" links at the top of a page to browse many, many comments.

But, I don't really understand the comment in pager.inc:

pager_query
- Use this function when doing select queries you wish to be able to page.

I see pager_blah used a lot in the modules, without truly knowing what they are or what it does, so any clarification would be appreciated!

Thank you!

hi. i like the extra functions in the xstory.module, but i can't seem to get it to work. when i put in data in the fields and press preview, the only thing i get back in the preview area is:

Array ( )

anybody have any idea what is wrong or how to fix it?

i understand that this is still experimental. hopefully this helps in development.

How can I tell drupal to format the entry of some forms into a table an display it in the node body. I tried to modify the page.module, but it's only able to display the Body text.

Perhaps I could save the form-entries into variables, let them be formatted by PHP an then save entirely as body? But I wouldn't be able to change them after. Buhuhuuu!!!

I'm forced to save all the form entries into the database and let them be formatted afterwards!
