Drupal 7.x

I am currently working on a customized user registration page. It worked fine to a point I was able to save users into the database. The user will enter their default password on the form, so I hashed it and stored in the pass column in the users table.

$hashedpassword =  user_hash_password(check_plain($form_state['values']['password']));

But after a test user entered, i was not able to login to the site. I am getting this password mismatch error. Here is what I found out so far:

	//return a valid user account if the user data successfully saved into database
	$newaccount = user_save(null, $newUser);
	drupal_set_message('plain password before user_hash_password() is : '.$form_state['values']['password']);
	drupal_set_message('Password in $account after user saved :'.$newaccount->pass);
	if (user_check_password($form_state['values']['password'], $newaccount))
	{
		drupal_set_message(t('passwords match'));
	}
	else
	{
		drupal_set_message(t('passwords not match'));
	}

Here are the output:

plain password before user_hash_password() is : er23er
Password in $account after user saved :$S$Cy5ZuH9713b.t71/TtEmJDLlW1GvyZwwqUzDiG2yzdo1iEjkIbPK
stored hash variable in user_check_password is : $S$Cy5ZuH9713b.t71/TtEmJDLlW1GvyZwwqUzDiG2yzdo1iEjkIbPK
plain password before _password_crypt call is : er23er

I have about 2 days worth of experience on drupal.

what I want to do:

if I hit a url like this

http://mydrupalsite.com/getfield/node/57/field_x

Then I want this URL to return the actual value of "field_x" of node "57".

Is there a way to do this natively in drupal?
is there a module that can do this?
do I need to write a menu hook and theme hook to retrieve the node part and return?

Your help is so much appreciated

When someone submits an empty comments it take him to a comment/reply page, which does not show my custom configure comment form.
In have configure comment form to be without homepage field, and without text input filter instructions.
So comment/reply does not follow the custom formating.

So how I can make empty comment posting to stay at the same content URL?

thanks

Hey guys, I am looking for a module/theme that will help me create a ranking directory website. I would like to have people be able to select a term from a list and then a list of businesses comes up, with the highest ranked on top. Can I use taxonomy? If so, how do I do it?

Thanks in advance

I am trying to present on the frontpage of my site a list that contains both local news items and items from an external rss and display it in a similar manner as the default frontpage feed. How can I do this?

I tried combining a view with an rss display and an external rss feed into a single feed category, which successfully combines them, but I don't seem to have any control over how the Aggregator block formats the display of its items, and its default formatting is pretty minimal.
