How to recreate project/issues module?

Hi there

Can anyone tell me how I can create a module along the lines of http://drupal.org/project/issues/?

I am new to Drupal and trying to change over from Xoops.

I'm looking for a module where each entry (node?) could have 4 or 5 text fields (name, country, email etc) plus a text area and comments. Also it needs to be grouped in to categories and it needs to have a search feature (eg show only posts for 'USA').

Having found project/issues/ it looks to have all that I'm looking for.

Importing from WYSIWYG to Node

Hello all,

I am helping a friend who runs Drupal 6 for his site. He is trying to fix part of it, by importing it in. He has thousands of news articles with multiple pictures to each, created with WYSIWYG editor. We are attempting to convert it all to nodes, but it isn't accepting more than 1 picture for each article.

I am not familiar enough with either the site or Drupal to help him. To fix one part of it, we figure to just recreate the Technique Articles, but the news is just too numerous to make it handleable.

This is us discussing it:
okay, so I was spitting out a text file on my home server from this php page
http://www.lockflow.com/modules/article_listing/data.php
it looks a little messed up right now
I think I was making time temp tables to test with
and they are not on the live server
the table wizard and migrate modules are turned off on the the live server
but I would then take the text file
and upload it via table wizard
There was some configurations so that comments and images and such could be linked to the articles properly
once that was done, you could run the migrate module, which would just import it
which I was able to do somewhat successfully
now, you can customise the modules somewhat to get them to work just they way you want, but that was out of my league

Dynamically modifying the contents of an uploaded file (PDF, RTF, etc)

In my process of building a site using Drupal 6, there is one feature I have looked for but been unsuccessful in finding. I would like to upload a file in a format that contains text (PDF, RTF, etc) but have the contents customized for each user. An example might be a certificate or application; something that needs more control over how it prints than Views or a template could manage. The users should be able to print the document with their profile information already inserted (name, address, telephone number, etc).

Replicating existing site and translating it

Hi all! I was given a project where I need to take a site built by another company that uses Drupal. The site exists and currently, they have tweaked the Zen template to customize their site theme. On this site is a link that is currently going to another directory of standard HTML pages. These flat files are in another foreign language.

My task is to take those flat pages and implement it into Drupal using the same theme as the main site. I have gone through some tutorials i found online as well as replicating a project from the O'Reilly book on Drupal. I am starting to understand how and where things are at, thanks to the O'reilly book. My question is in regards to this existing site.

The original designers already have a structure in place with the current site. At the top are links to other foreign language sites.

I want to basically "duplicate" the existing site and then have the link on the main site "link" to the "duplicate". To me, it seems logical to just download another instance of Drupal and repopulate that site, but I don't have the DB information (only admin login and ftp access, no cpanel access) to the main site.

Or do I need to put the pages within the same site? I'm not sure how to attack this problem. My boss wants to know ASAP if I can do this task or not. I'm willing to learn and would like any advice you can point me to the right direction.
