Module development and code questions

Hi, folks

I'm developing a site that include a very large number of little multisites, (do I made myself clear?). First i try with multisites installation but the database end with more than 200 useless tables, (I share the user*, role, permitions, node*, sequences and other tables in the settings.php) with only 4 sites.I think I´ll need more than 20 sites of less than 100 articles each one. By other hand I had almost 10 mbytes in only 4 sites, then i realize that is a very poor solution.

Running Drupal 5.1 on Ubuntu Server...

I'm still trying to get my head wrapped around the Forms API. Is there a simple, easy to follow tutorial somewhere that shows how to create a page with a simple form on it? I've read through the Forms API Quickstart Guide and several forum topics, but I'm still not getting it.

Links to tutorials intended for Drupal newbies would be much appreciated.

Thanks,

Robert

I have looked around and not seen anything regarding the problem...

I’m creating a newsletter module for Drupal using the existing simplenews module as a basis, I’m pretty much flying through the process but I have one nagging problem. After a user has created a newsletter they may want to edit it, the newsletter is created using a series of dropdown list objects, when the user edits the article how do I set it so that the form objects are set to the current selections?

Hi all,

I have a drupal site that uses taxonomy, CCK and views to provide a sortable, searchable list of nodes (of a new type created with CCK). For the sake of this question, assume the node type is for company contact records, and has things like company name, location, phone # etc.

The system has approximately 2000 of these nodes, and each node is put into one or more taxonomy categories. The terms of the categories are used to group nodes.

The system I've created provides a table view using the views module that uses the filter capabilities of the view module to allow people to select one or more terms and limit the nodes in the table to those that have the selected taxonomy terms.

The use can then click a link in the table that takes them to the details of the node (which is displayed using some custom node code).

Because of the way the system is used, users tend to browse through a list of nodes once they've filted them using the terms. To facilitate this, what I want to do is provide next/prev links on each node that will move through the user's filtered selection.

Is there a moduel that allow me to make a link directory? it should allow users to submit their links and must have admin approval before published

Is it possible to make list views without the list markup for Drupal 4.7?
http://drupal.org/node/136136 shows how to do this for 5.x.

I want to do this for my custom Random Image Block, which is adapted from the example on http://drupal.org/node/82617.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
