Module development and code questions

Okay, I am building a page right now that is for creating a project between a series and a creator. The form works this way: The form has a name textfield, and an ID textfield for both the series and creator. If you input the two IDs it will create the project immediately and that's that; but if you don't know the ID, you can input the name instead.

However, if you input the name, there might be several creators or series with those names, so the form output should instead show a select list with the available ones that have a name similar to that... and then after selecting one in the list you can submit again and create the project.

But, here comes to problem that keeps deluding me and driving me crazy. If I want to replace the ID input field with the select list instead it might look like this (with some pseudo code):

$form['add']['seriesname'] = array('#type'=>'textfield' [...]);

if( 'seriesname' has been submitted and the search for the title gave hits ) {
    $form['add']['seriesid'] = array('#type'=>'select', '#options'=>$options [...]);
}
else {
    $form['add']['seriesid'] = array('#type'=>'textfield' [...]);
}

I have a problem with the Views module. I'm using the standard template to show the backend part. For the frontend however i use my own template. When i add a view in a block i can see the results instantly in the backend template but in my own template it does not show up. It only appears if i change the template back and forth again.

Thanks in advance.

I just installed Signwriter on my demo site, and followed the example as it was outlined on the download page, but it is a bit confusing, and although I've tried lots of different things I cannot figure out how to get the image to appear.

Can anyone with experience with Signwriter give me more comprehensive directions?

Does Signwriter work better through the Drupal interface, or in the code? I've only tried it through drupal so far.

Any help is greatly appreciated. I tried submitting a support request, but I haven't gotten an answer yet.

Thanks,
Jen

I'm new to Drupal and am going through the "Pro Drupal Development" book to bring myself up to speed (I've got many years of programming/web development experience but am primary a Java developer). I came across the devel module fairly early on and have been trying to install it. It appears to install correctly, and I can "configure users" for the module using the Admin UI, but whenever I try to access any of the menus (i.e. devel/cache/clear) I get a "Page Not Found" screen. Anyone seen this before?

Hi!

I'm trying to build a website on which mucicians can create their own profile and upload their own mp3's in it.
Other bands can rate each others content.

For the rest i need the standard Drupal modules like blog and comment.

Which modules should i best use for this and is there any doc available about how to configure these modules?

Best regards,

Bart
