Module development and code questions

While I managed to get Drupal up and running just fine, I cannot get the vocabulary terms to display for each category in Taxonomy Access: Permissions. All I get are the blank outlines of boxes, but none of the terms show (yes I do have terms for each category and stories affiliated with each). The only checkboxes there are showing for uncategorized. I searched the forums for an answer to this and saw that this problem occurred for someone else but they received no response.

Can someone direct me to the most updated and best version of a chatroom? Is it still the chatroom module or phpfreechat??

If it's phpfreechat, I need help on how to install on my site? Can someone please help me? I'm a beginner here and a chatroom is vital to my site's survival.

Thanks,
Craig

I have created my own real estate module. I want to filter it by one of my fields "Inspection", however "Inspection" it not a cck field, it is a field that the module creates itself, so it doesn't appear in the view as an option to filter on.

I found this page: http://drupal.org/node/99794
which I think is about exactly what I want, but I find it very hard to read since it doesn't give proper examples, only little snippets of code that have php tags around them totally out of context and stuff. It's almost as poorly written as the drupal api; no code samples, no blogs, nothing! "here have a look at the code that makes the function work, rather than examples of how to use the function" arggh!!!!

So anyway I sucked it up and gave it a shot

/**
 * Implementation of hook_views_tables().
*/
function residential_views_tables() {
  $tables[' {re_residential} '] = array(
	  'join' => array(
	    'left' => array(
	      'table' => 'node',
	      'field' => 'nid',
	    ),

	  ), 
	 'filters' => array(
		'inspection1_start' => array(
			'name' => t('Residential: Inspection 1 Start Date/Time'),
			'help' => t('The time of first Inspection'),
			'operator' => 'views_handler_operator_andor',
			'value' => 'NULL',
		 ),
	 ),
  );

  return $tables;
}

I have been using the previous dev version of Event module (with RSVP and Signup) and everything was working dandy. But I wanted to develop a simpler table of events so that users could filter by location and type of event etc, and for some reason Views wasn't allowing for the filters for events (weird).
Today I finally decided to upgrade to 2.x-dev version of Events module -- after I ran upgrade.php it gave me a hude list of changes that it had done. And now none of the event nodes are displaying in the calendar. And when I create a new event node the date is showing in 1970.

I uploaded Calendar module and Date module , but that didn't help. Quite frankly I cannot see the point in having these modules if one has Event module.

And now I'm confused, so I really need some help and advice:

1) I want to create a general pool of MANY-MANY events which thousands of users can contribute to, and, which they can search and filter (depending on keywords, country, event type).

2) Once they find an event that they like they will be able to add it to "My Events".

3) I want "My Events" to be an individual calendar view for each user which shows all the events that she has plans to attend. It would also be nice if this user-specific calendar would also work with RSVP and Signup.

How can I achieve these?

Hi everybody,

I'm trying to convert the enewsletter module of the 4.6 version to 5. For the moment, all the display is working, including enewsletter list and add, the templates list and add, the configuration, the undelivered.
I have several buttons to save or delete and others. but the original module use this line :

$edit = array2object($_POST["edit"]);

the array2object does no longer exist in the 5 version, and i can't see how to use this $edit variable.

I have been searching and searching, i want to have a list of links in edit mode that each article or blog post can have attached to it. So there is a set of links, like 12 or 13 that will likely never change, these links will point to static pages in the site.

I would like it to be placed in the taxonomy area of the site, how do i ad that functionality? is there a module available,
