Module development and code questions

I'm considering writing a module that adds two field types to profile.module, a specifically 'user reference' and a 'node reference' field type. I am aware of the node profile module and usernode, but installing and configuring them are overkill for what I want to do, which is to allow site admins to define a field in the user profile that links to nodes the same way the cck's node reference field type allows, and the same for user references. Then, users can choose from lists of node and users in their profiles as defined by the site admins. This is a simple extension of the field types already available within profile.module. I don't want to have to install a group of modules to make this happen, I just want to add two custom field types to the profile module. I anticipate some people will consider writing another module to do what is already possible using a combination of other modules a bad thing but I want to make adding these two field types as simple as possible, inspired by the way cck handles these field types.

i have just been reading up on some of the changes to drupal's theme system and the number 1 feature that seems to be king is the real seperation of php code from html/css code.

as a non programmer i m really in favour of this move. however, like i said i m a non programmer and was wondering if anybody out there was goign to take this new theme system one step forward and create a "custom theme module".

Hello Forum,

When I need to capture the title of the node i am working on i can do this:

$title = ($node->title);

but in in form_alter that doesn't work. So how do i capture the title (or any node object) of the noide i am submitting?

I have searched but am not looking in the right places obviously!

Thank you in advance

What I desperately need is for my users to easily select from a hierarchical taxonomy terms. Like this:

Country >> Region >> Cily >> Organization >> Department >> Rank

The second requirement is that If their Organization is not listed, they can choose "Other" and then manualy write the name of that organisation.

which modules do I need to get this to work???

please help -- I'm totally lost over this
