Post installation

How can I write a simple block to show upcoming events from a single taxonomy ?

At the moment the function event_block_upcoming in the event module has only on argument ($limit).

It would be natural to use this function to select upcoming events for a specific term (for example
in a dashboard node). Otherwise I've to copy the entire block snippet and then change the sql,
but it seems an awful code duplication...

any ideas ?

Hi all

I just installed Drupal and am finding my way into it.

I mainly wanted to use my site to link to a set of picture galleries that I will create using Google Picasa. So I'll upload each gallery to a seperate path on my server www.mysite.com/gallery1 www.mysite.com/gallery2 etc.

Can someone help me by suggesting how to achieve what I need and if there is exisiting module which can fit in

1. I have few profile fields, say profile_field1, profile_field2. Say that values to these fields are like 1,2..n and a, b, ...z
2. Now using profiles I can get list of users who have field1 in common (like all users with field1 value of 1)

I want to have page which will list (to display) values which are filled in for field1 and field2 (and so on..all fields).

How do i display a list of images/avatars from my Buddylist?
I've seen a display random avatar list in the phpsnippets http://drupal.org/node/29246 but I'm not that good in php to convert and show a list of my buddies pictures/avatars...

I am wanting to sort nodes within a flexinode by several different fields. Is it better, easier, make more sense to sort by a flexinode created field or by a taxonomy vocabulary that is associated to the node?

In other words, if I want a field that lists all the State/Provinces, I can either provide a picklist using a flexinode field or by attributing a Vocabulary (that have all the states as terms) to the flexinode type. Either way should gives me a picklist, but which is easier to sort by?

thanks

It's my 4th day with Drupal. I've managed to create pages with small PHP snippets without problem.

But when I paste the example in the "Forms API Quickstart Guide", I get nothing.

I suppose there are some more steps not explained in the guide because everybody knows.

Or what else ?

TIA for your help.
