Drupal 6.x

Whilst working on something unrelated for my employer, I had a problem whilst developing a module for Drupal 6. Essentially, changes to the hook_menu() function don't take effect until the Menu System rebuilds it's data structures. There's no easy way to do this, so I've written a module that does this (and a few other things).

With Drupal 5, if you made a change to hook_menu(), you could clear the menu configuration by running the SQL command "truncate cache_menu;". This causes the Menu System to rebuild that information, making your changes take effect.

Would this host work on drupal and would it be a good host?

I am very new to drupal. I just stopped using wordpress and started using this and I found it easier to mold a theme into something I like. I own a video game website. www.xblfrenzy.com and I want to add games to it but I have a problem. I need something that goes from a-z also #'s to. Under A will be all games that has the starting letter of A in the title. I was wondering if there is a module or something that will do that for me. Your help would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you,

Does anyone know any cheap($3-4 a month) webhosting that will support Drupal 6.x?

I'm looking to move my Gallery (i.e. Menalto Gallery) albums over to Drupal. There are many advantages to that, which I assume people reading here can readily see.

At the moment, though, I feel like Drupal is missing some important Gallery functionality and that I will need to do some patching. I've seen people speculate that in the long term image management will move to using CCK and that the original image module may be deprecated in the future. I don't know whether there's anything to that speculation, but it makes me want to ask where people think Drupal is headed and if I were going to be making patches or whatever, where to put the effort.

I've been playing with the image handling options in Drupal, and have seen a lot I like in AcidFree and in CCK + Views + Imagefield. What I see missing and what I would like to add are as follows:

All drupal album systems.
- no manual sort. To get a manual sort, you would need to use numeric titles and sort by title (01. My First Image; 02 Next Image; 03 Image after that). Gallery allows all the sort options that you get with AcidFree, plus manual sort (and has a nice ajaxian "rearrange" tool, though I can get by without that).

CCK + Imagefield + Views
- no mass upload

I think that a big change in next version of drupal 6 should be the structure of the modules.

A module should be splitted in various file ad each file only loaded when there is need of this:

An example module file struture:

mymodule.module

mymodule_hook_nodeapi.inc

mymodule_hook_view.inc

mymodule_hook_cck.inc

mymodule_hook_xmlrpc.inc

mymodule_admin.inc

So any mode is loaded when is need of this
In mymodule.module we puth only the base hooks like menu,link,permission,module information.
