Drupal 7.x

Hi All,

So i understand how to preprocess a specific block to make some variable available for that it, but what i don't understand is where do i grab these variable that i want to be available in my (for this instance ) Block:

I have the follow code:

function THEME_preprocess_block(&$variables) {
	$variables['user_profile']= $user_profile;
  
}

The user_profile return NULL.

Hi,
I have created my first sandbox project and created directory in Drupal repository using git.
It is not clear to me, how can I connect to this repository and upload files in my module. (I use Linux terminal).

I have tried to run this command
git clone tomas.teicher@git.drupal.org:project/my_module_name.git

very new to drupal. I need to create section of my website that contains a directory of 300 companies. I think it be best to create separate databasetables and not included this data in drupal's nodal architecture. Is there a typical/best practise way to manage custom data in drupal

Ive created a custom field type as a module using the Field API.
The field is a textfield that I then enhance with javascript to be hidden and its replaced with a custom world map where the user can drag a pin point around to mark a location (basic pixel coords - not google maps related).
It all works fine and the input's value is updated with a js array string of x/y pixel numbers ex: "[100,200]".
The problem is after submit the string is saved to the DB as "[" but the db field is a varchar(255).

I have downloaded and installed wysiwyg module for Drupal 7. In the configuration, there were bunch of other supporting modules to be downloaded and installed. I did download and copy the contents into
sites/all/libraries
However, i get the message that those are not installed. What did I do wrong and what step did I miss. Thanks for your help to a non-techie.
