Module development and code questions

Hello,

I am interested in working on a openid server module for Drupal.
Can anyone provide any input on this ?

I am thinking on evaluating the technology and current working examples first.

Also i remember that there is a drupal implementation for OpenID.
I think it would be great if we can implement something like claimid which includes openid and microformat support.

If anyone knows how to add Cortado in the list of the players available in the 'audio' module, i'll be happy to have those informations, as so to indifferently publish in mp3 or ogg vorbis,
all thanks in advance for support,

Hello,
After having installed drupal 5.1, and 'Views', as a simple user of a nice configured server for free software : it looks like the 'audio' module (which needs 'Views') works, if no other file system upload is enabled ('image', or the 'upload' module).
Either, the 'menu' module has an hard time to stay available with 'Views' with some of the modules preinstalled, like the 'forum' one.
With hope this is of any interest...

Hello everyone!

I was wondering if its possible to have a user profile page wherein the contacts of the user is listed not as their usernames but as their names (and other profile fields). Something like:

Instead of:

Contact List

*username1
*username2
*username3

Do this:

Note: I am not certain whether this is the right place to post it, but I guess if not someone will correct my mistake...
And I hope this will interest somebody

Goal:
The site should look different according to the used address. User that uses "xxx.example.com" should see different things then a user that uses "yyy.example.com".
The site administrator should be able to make the change via the web interface - no need for coding or shell/ftp access

Tools:
CCK + Node Reference field
NodeAsBlock
PHPTemplate engine
SWF Tools /Flash Node

Snippests:
1. Verify that the listed modules/tools are installed properly.
2. Create the following content type (if someone knows how to export/import content types, I can provide the needed content type):
- Name: "Node By Host"
- Type: "node_by_host"
- Body field label: remove
- Check "Enable blocks from this node type"
- Fields:
- default_node - "Default Node" - Node Reference
- host1 - "Node 1" - Text
- node1 - "Node 1" - Node Reference
- host2 - "Node 2" - Text
- node2 - "Node 2" - Node Reference
3. Create a node-node_by_host.tpl.php in your theme directory, which includes the following code:



I'm trying to evaluate the best way to be handling image attachments into the future.

I've been really happy with image_attach so far, as it does exactly what I want.
But it doesn't do that in a CCK-happy way, so the extra options for node construction aren't there. Neither does it allow multiple attachments.

cck-imagefield however seems to be pretty limited so far, and according to it's gigantic wishlist, seems lacking a bunch of functionality that image.module already solved. Thumbnails, existing image re-use, granular permissions, custom filenames using tokens and more.

The major difference between these two approaches is the desire to treat attached images as full nodes (image_attach) or to try and avoid doing that (imagefield)
Many of the extensions and extra options that folk want for imagefield are HARD because of that inbuilt limitation.

Sitting off to one side is asset - which is in its own world of file management, and although the management wizard interface is wonderful, it doesn't treat its items like either nodes or fields, so it doesn't play nicely with either approach.
