How to edit content of blocks

Hi everyone,

I've been trying to modify the output of blocks autogenerated by modules. i've done a search and most of the discussion seems to include hacks to the module code (which I also read is inadvisable), or changes to the _title_ (not content) of the block using locale or block.tpl.php.

Accessing CCK field types programmactically

I'm currently using node_load, node_save to retrieve, update and save CCK content programmactically. I would like to make those functions more generic. One problem I'm facing with right now is the nodereference type. For nodereferene type, the value is stored using the "nid" key instead of "value" key.

Is there any way to check the field type of a particular field of a content type?

Thanks!

problems i cant figure out.

I recently upgraded from 4.65 to 4.73 - the upgrade was a bit rocky with some hosed tables, sequences out of whack, etc.. i've got everything figured out by searching this forum, but i have three remaining issues that i cant solve.. i dont know if they are remnants of the upgrade, configuration problems, or something else:

Issue #1;
"?destination=" does not seem to work..
the url for "Login to reply" (on a comment) is: http://mysite.com/user/login?destination=node/164%2523comment_form
It goes to the login fine, but after logging in users are presented with:
"Invalid character in /node/164#comment_form
The URL can only contain alphanumerics plus the following characters: /.,=:_-
"

The odd thing is that this works fine on my other site, which is hosted by the same host, using Drupal 4.7, a copy of the same .HTACCESS, and a copy of the same SETTINGS.PHP and PHP.INI .. what am i missing here?

Issue #2: At logout, the URL is apended with "http://mysite.com/?time=1158727550
Not a big deal, but annoying

Issue #3: Taxonomy links in forums goes to the forum URL, instead of the taxonomy list. The link URL is always the URL to the forum, so i cant get taxonomy lists..

More info about the site:
Drupal 4.7.3, Clean URL's enabled, using URL aliases for forums, using Logintoboggin. As already mentioned, I just went thru a bad upgrade, so there could be some table problems.

Creating New Default Display for Taxonomy Specific Noes

Hey guys,

Big question. You know how when you click on a Taxonomy term, you're taken to a page the displays the most recent nodes attached to that term? I would like to change that template. I would like to instead have a page with various lists (Most Recent Nodes, Most Popular Nodes, Uncommented Nodes, etc), with the content in each list being specific to the taxonomy level of the selected term. With what module would I go about doing this?

Thanks so much for any help.

Creating a geographically based contact directory

Hi there,

One of the features I would like to add to one of the three Drupal sites I'm working in is a contact directory, where users could enter their contact info (including a couple of fields I would need to customize as they're specific to this site) and be listed in a geographically sorted directory - i.e. grouped under country, then province/state, city, etc.

front_page module problem

I need a bit of help with the Front_Page Module. Basically all I'm wanting to do is display a header image in on the home page, but will not be visible on any other page. Seems simple, and I'm sure it is but I'm having issues.
