Module development and code questions

Objective:
- post content to an organicGroup blog site using a desktop client with email sent to each OG subscriber

Status:
- we have OG working as advertised when creating content via a browser session (email is sent to ea. OG subscriber)
- we have blogAPI working for posting to blog sites for userName accounts in Drupal

1) can see no way to configure a blogAPI desktop client to post directly to an OG blog site.

I'm trying to create a module that requires access to data stored in PHP Sessions from other PHP web-apps running from the same server (they use the default php session handlers). Unfortunately the way drupal works clears out the $_SESSION variable during the bootstrap phase and I can't seem to find a hook to get the data before it is overwritten.

Does anyone know how I can access the $_SESSION variable before it is reset by drupal?

hey everybody,

You can often see pages like e.g. http://www.heifer.org/ having a flash 'teaser' which shows animated changing images, short texts and something like a 'discover more' button at the top of the page.

This is what I'm trying to realise with drupal.

Well, I could do this with flash. But I try to make it flexible and open for changes from other users who aren't familiar with flash at all. I don't know if Flash Action Scripting could do something like this in drupal?!? Obviously it could, because http://www.mtv.co.uk (running drupal) has something like this, too. But, do you think it would be possible to do this with drupal and jquery?

Hello everybody,

I have been working to create a set of JavaScript components which may be easily be placed within Drupal forms.
OAT (Open Ajax Toolkit) made my job easier. Yet, it was still difficult when it came to figuring out how to manage this convergence.

So, I came up with the idea of Rolled Oats. (Had some this morning for breakfast.)

Look at the following: http://opensource-copious.org/downloads/changes_rolled_oats_version.tar.gz

I am presently developing a content module (based on default node type, not CCK) and would like to know the order of hook execution that happen, which helps me in writing the relevant hook. After browsing a lot on drupal forum and google search, I found the following:

New Node Creation

Can anyone assist me on how to add a "workable" chatroom on my site????? Does the chatroom module even work for Drupal 5.x????
