user_save(), could be better.

Hi guys,

Is it just me, or does user_save really suck?

node_save is a really great function, and it makes creating new nodes, or modifying existing nodes super easy. I jumped into writing a module using user_save and it took a while to work out why my modifications wern't being saved. It seems that you have to provide the user object as the first parameter, and then all the data you want to modify or create in the second parameter...

Job for PHP/SQL programmer: new module for filtering of news feeds

Hello,

We need to extend the functionality of Drupal Core module called “Aggregator”. Let me just cite some text from here http://drupal.org/handbook/modules/aggregator:
“SITE ADMINISTRATORS can add, edit, and delete feeds … SITE ADMINISTRATORS can also tag individual feeds with categories, offering selective grouping of some feeds into separate displays.”

Now, we would like to extend this functionality by allowing registered VISITORS (not only admins) to have the same permissions. So there would be some kind of huge user contributed feed database and what is the most important, each visitor MUST have an option to set its own keywords for filtering, so he or she would only see the news ITEMS relevant to their interest!

To my knowledge there already exists a module for RSS news filtering:
http://drupal.org/project/feedapi_itemfilter
However only ADMINS can set up new feeds and it lacks a possibility to allow registered visitors to contribute new feeds. Another thing is that this module works only with FeedAPI module which is not a Drupal core module (at least not yet). Anyway, we can discuss pros and cons of extending this already available module.

For our project, there is no time limit, no deadlines, however:
- Module must be well written so that it would be compatible with the future Drupal core versions as much as possible.

Need CMS with available module to create document on fly

Need CMS with available module to create document on fly, and I'm wondering if Drupal will do it. My client wants a website where the website user can enter their personal information, and the CMS will fill the document with that information and let them print it or email it to them in a .pdf file. The user will pay through an ecommerce module of some sort and this will release the document to them. The client has all the documents in fillable .pdf now.

Schema API suggestion, change "NOT NULL"

Hi,

I think that the Schema API should change the "not null" => TRUE/FALSE to a more logical "allow null" => TRUE/FALSE. I know that it's correct SQL to use the "NOT NULL", but it's much more logical when you see the text to see "allow null" instead.

Just a thought...
