Module development and code questions

Background

Here is my situation: I need to create forms that integrate with PDFs. Namely having some means of converting the submitted data. I haven't decided how to do this as yet. What I would like to know is if anyone has worked with forms + PDFs in Drupal 5.

Here is the workflow I would like to create. The site will have PDF forms as downloads and I would like to have an option for users to submit their information using a HTML form as well. The submitted information should be available as CSV and PDF for site admins. A notification emails should also be sent when a form is submitted. The forms will be mostly loan applications.

I would also like to provide a link to a PDF with the submitted data. This PDF should closely resemble the one they would have downloaded and printed. The download should be a one time thing, if possible, since some of the information may be sensitive. I'm more than willing to limited PDF downloads to the admins.

I have a vocabulary named Regions and a vocabulary named Genres. I have a CCK content type named Bookstores. Bookstores are categorized by Regions and Genres. I need to query the database by giving it the Region, and have it return a list of all the Genres for all bookstores in that Region. I don't need to list the Bookstores along with the Genres. I've gotten this far:

I need to create a query which does the following:

Given term_data.name (in vocabulary 1), use term_data.tid to retrieve term_node.nid, then use term_node.nid to get the tid of all other terms in term_node.nid who are attached to the same term_node.nid, then use all of the retrieved term_node.tids to get all of the term_data.names who are in vocabulary 2.

For example:

I have a vocabulary named Regions(vid=1), and a Vocabulary named Genres(vid=2). I classify my content_type_bookstore nodes by Region and Genre. So Bob's Used Books is in Burnaby (term_data.name=burnaby, term_data.tid=10, term_data.vid=1) and is genre Science Fiction (term_data.name=scifi, term_data.tid=20, term_data.vid=2)

SELECT DISTINCT term_data.name FROM (term_data INNER JOIN term_node ON term_data.tid = term_node.tid) INNER JOIN content_type_restaurant ON content_type_restaurant.nid = term_node.nid WHERE term_data.vid = 2 
(term_data.vid=2 is "Genres")

Hello Everyone,

this is my first time posting on the drupal site, so please be gentle.

:)

I would really like to have full integration of mediaWiki on my drupal site. Basically, I would like shared user tables, or at least synced user tables, so that when a user on my site logs into drupal, then clicks on the wiki link, he will automatically be logged into the wiki. There is a very old post from January of 2006 for this with drupal 4.7, but I'm using 5.x.

Hello,

I use rc_mail module with ldap_integration. LDAP works fine, and rc_mail work fine also when it's alone. But when I add LDAP, the login in rc_mail fails !

To reproduce the bug here is what I do :

let's assume that the user account already exists
I log a first time. I go to the user parameter and type the rc_mail password.
I can go without problem into the rc_mail module. The rc_mail login process works fine !
But then, if I log out, and log in again... i cannot go to the rc_mail without typing again my password in the user parameter.
